@magnusrobotfighter @mdreid They printed the poster at a FedEx store somewhere near hotel and/or conference hall?

@roadskater @magnusrobotfighter @mdreid Oh that's what confused me - here I only think of FedEx as shipping/delivery - never printing.

@penguin42 @roadskater @magnusrobotfighter @mdreid About 20 years ago, FedEx bought the copy shop chain Kinko's, and starting about 15 years ago gradually renamed them "Fedex Office", to great consternation and resistance—some people still call it Kinko's. (Also, while they run many hotel and convention center 'business centers', I'm not sure they have locations outside the US, even now.)

@penguin42 @roadskater @magnusrobotfighter @mdreid They bought Kinkos a couple decades back, and eventually renamed it FedEx office because keeping the name Kinkos made it too easy to remember what they did.(They're still Kinkos in Japan, because Japanese businesses like to have customers.)

@pjohanneson @mdreid Thats the one thing which surprised me too. I very much doubt being able to run current linux kernel on hardware with that little amount of memory and that limited set of CPU instructions.Wish we could have a discussion about this with the original author.

@basisbit @pjohanneson @mdreid I haven't Linux'd in a while, but is it not still incredibly modular? I was always able to pair it down shockingly well. Back in the day, Emacs-as-init boot floppies still worked.All you need is a kernel and Emacs.Really.Emacs is browser, Emacs is IRC, Emacs is e-mail, Emacs is love, Emacs is life. 🤪

@alice @basisbit @mdreid Yeah, I was about 50/50 on whether that was a joke, myself. I know Linux can be very, very small.(vi for me, enjoy your Emacs, :wq)

@pjohanneson @basisbit @mdreid Yeah, I actually Vim extensively. I wanted to see if things could be simplified down to a system that is /only/ a kernel + Emacs.And I could. It was kinda mind-blowing, and proved the "yo dawg, I heard you like operating systems so I put an operating system to operate in your operating system so you can operate a system while your system operates" joke.All config here: https://github.com/amcgregor/dotfiles/tree/dotfiles [makes note to update submodules…]
