  Evening all. By the way, if you enjoy networking and find it interesting (as I do) then don't mind if I tell you about #yggdrasil which runs a VPN on the 200/7 IPv6 subnet. Pretty darn fun and cool. Like cjdns but faster and with a different network topology. A spanning tree (but with shortcuts).
  
  https://yggdrasil-network.github.io.
  
  We have ~100 users so far but we want to get more people on to test it and stress test it.

  It feels so good to be able to open up #Pjuu and use a social networking site with a simple UI that loads fast.

  Got back late now from a group project, was fun visiting another res. on campus for the first time, we really have something special going on here at #Stellenbosch.

  Wow, negative likes on posts about something non-political. Seems like we have some really "technically minded" people here XD

  And it REALLY makes organising your life easy. #GNOME3

  And as you can see #GNOME3 is the best desktop environment ever conceived.

  And some photos of #GNOME making my life easier (along with #nano, #tmux and #gcc and #gdb and oh yes I forgot, #Python is useful for visualising memory dumps too)

  And finally, as I had planned, here are some photos of all of this (the setup). Also I forgot to mention I do also have Windows on this machine (it is an Acer and with an SSD (poes-vinning)).
  
  Here is a photo of #Insight (a graphical frontend to #GDB)

  And finally GNOME and Fedora. GNOME is something many say they don't like. I like it as it is clean and non-distractfulm but also sleek and elegant but not-faslhy like Plasma (hence concentration), then also it allows me to do that Mac-like shit where you can get an overview of all the open stuff and I like that (virtual desktops are nice), it is distraction free and can be extended with extensions hence that is why I like it! Fedora is always up-to-date and has millions of packages available...

  ... literally gdb with a UI. And lastly my hardware is obviously very nice, x86 is just plain awesome (I know everyone will go on about the CISC-ness of it but hey, it is the architecture I have been using for years without ever learning about and all my machines (as in computers) are x86 machines (raspberry pi's are an exception but I plan on targetting x86. Along with that the software is Linux (because x86 is my fav hardware and Linux kernel provides a POSIX interface which is sexy af...

  .. in my way. Then I also use tmux of course to have several terminal instances open in one terminal instance. GDB is a godsend, absolutely brilliant ( can use it without a GUI and it isn't hard to learn once you just get into it. The GUI I recently tried out today is called Insight, it may look old and such but that means no modern UI distractions and hence I really like it, it shows you everything you want to see without any bells and whistles. Also straight forward to begin to use. Literally.

  So I am really enjoying the tools available out there for x86 debugging on Linux. In this case the tools I use for compiling the C code into a binary (in this case I ain't doing OS development, or bootloaders or firmware hence the binaries are wrapped in the ELF container format (as used by the Linux loader)) a.k.a. they are not free-standing binaries. The tools I use then along with gcc (as hinted to by the previous sentence) and nano (the best text editor in my opinion as it never has gotten..

  ANC 1993.
  
  Seems like they didn't want a rainbow nation. Once a communist and terrorist group always a communist and terrorist group.
  
  The ANC was cancer at the end of apartheid and are today. They didn't want unity, they wanted reverse apartheid.
