Another week of links completed early.  And there’s a lot, so get clicking!

• 1BSD, the installation.  Interesting to see the procedure and the tools used.
• Over the Rainbow, polychromatic type from Microsoft.  I don’t know if this is as exciting as they seem to think it is.
• Do your own backups.  Yeesh, what an unfortunate event.  I’m fixing up my backups now, after my own troubles.
• Operating System Development series.  Dry but interesting.  (via)
• Windowing operating systems are too messy, too restrictive.  From 1984.  (via)
• Home Automation via the Internet.  For those who don’t want to deal with x10.
• Chess implemented in Sed.  No en passant?  Sheesh, I was on board until that point.  (I’m making a joke)   (via)
• Managing sshd in Ansible.  Ansible’s getting more popular, it seems.
• Remember that PDF compression/scanning error I mentioned a few weeks ago?  Xerox has fixed it for their devices, and the patch is available.  One of the ways to apply the patch is to print the file to a copier, via LPR/raw.  Firmware updates via printing – that seems like a good and bad idea all at the same time.
• JAVASCRIPT MESS.  45 different computers all emulated in Javascript.  A Javascript Mac SE, for instance.
• An XKCD cartoon slightly related to the previous link.
• Learn to code.  (via)

Your unrelated link of the week: The remix of this 1997 Kid’s Guide to the Internet – somewhat NSFW, and has all the best moments.  More from EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE.
