Anyone remember when one could login into most linux systems by hitting backspace 28 times?

I remember when kernel was 0.9.something.
And fat support was an unofficial patch.
And the big libc5 to glibc transition.
Wasn't that a bootloader bug?

Feeling young 😌

Anyone remember when your keyboard was a computer, there was no such thing as "user", "encryption" or "network" and you started working typing LOAD, inserting the datasette, pressing play, and typing RUN?

@Torbuntu
Last year lol

@demiko Haha close. Commodore 64. But I guess they all operated on very similar principles -- downsized limited hardware inspired by mainframes in a keyboard, with cartridges/floppies/tape storage, interpreting some basic dialect, having simple 8bit sprite graphics.
