I tried changing it, but I guess when a post hits the fp this is not possible anymore (only by mods).

My first command is always 'w'. And I always urge young engineers to do the same.

There is no shorter command to show uptime, load averages (1/5/15 minutes), logged in users. Essential for quick system health checks!

This reminds me of a project I saw more than 24 (!) years ago. Someone made a webserver for the GBA.

It seemed magical to me at the time and I still remember going to this site often to see updates (that's why I remember the URL).

Thankfully the Wayback Machine still has it:

Anecdote: In 2022, while visiting San Francisco, I had the chance to explore the campus. Wandering through the quiet, empty halls of the summer buildings, I was just about to leave when I unexpectedly came across Knuth's office [1]. I had to do a double take—it was surprisingly small for someone of his stature. Yet, in a way, it felt perfectly fitting, a reflection of his unassuming nature.

About the checks: I have not 1 but 2 checks. Small typos, nothing big: but wonderful to have these two documents.
