^ Thank you! Whaouh, brain is really stunning because I read all words of your wallpaper and could not find the typo. My brain certainly reconstructed the word by itself so it's understandable...
It reminds me of this: https://www.lifehack.org/423422/it-d...e-explains-why
today at morning my co-worker saw my monitor and asked "have your computer crashed ?"
he laughed when i said "its just wallpaper :P"
At a datacentre I previously worked at, one of the UNIX guys thought it'd be fun to have the BSOD screen saver on one of our UNIX boxes. It was a workstation class box with graphics and a screen but it was doing systems management stuff so was kind of important¹. All was well until one of the backup tape changing monkeys was doing his rounds one night, saw the BSOD and helpfully power-cycled it. Suffice to say, that screensaver was never used again.
The only time I laughed more was when a cleaner came into the datacentre one evening, plugged her hoover into the power socket on the bottom of a 4 foot high blue pillar near the door and then pressed the big red button on the top of the pillar. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to put a power socket on the bottom of the Emergency Power Off pillar, but as anyone who has ever been in a datacentre when the power goes out can attest, after a loud BANG, the silence is deafening!²
Anyway, that's enough anecdotes for one Sunday afternoon. I hope they entertained.
² Yes, it would have been better not having mission critical systems on a workstation in the first place, but that's the kind of place it was.
² No, it's not a tall tale, I was there -- on shift mounting tapes for the mainframe -- when it happened. Yes, a very long time ago)
FreeBSD on my homebuilt workstation - SSH'd into my monster build machine, also running FreeBSD and building my ports repository using poudriere. Openbox and tint2 panel. I was using cwm for the longest time but wanted a panel for whatever reason.
