> eatmydata (https://packages.debian.org/sid/eatmydata) is an LD_PRELOAD library to disable filesystem syncs, to speed up test runs and other cases where you don't care about data integrity (such as if losing power would just mean you run the tests again from scratch anyway).

Was never aware of this library and just used ramdisks previously, thanks for sharing!

comcast (https://github.com/tylertreat/comcast) is really helpful for simulating poor network connections. Particularly nice when used in Docker to do network simulations.

Echo chamber gave me a chuckle. I have never been a fan of javascript, but I can totally see using that script. Thankyou for that link. :-)

Echochamber could be even better if it had a trolling bot that responded to your comments.

Thank you for wasting half an hour of my life after leading me to this: https://github.com/fetlang/fetlang/blob/master/docs/tutorial...

This is nerd sniping at the finest. After reading that document I am embarrassed to admit that I now understand how this code is a UNIX `cat` implementation:

    lick Trisha's toes ten times
    make Clara moan

    Until Amy is dominant towards Alicia
        Have Mistress torture Brian's ear
	
        If Brian is Trisha's bedtoy
            call safeword

        Have Brian hogtie Clara
    Make slave scream Clara's name

Hints: 'slave' is stdout, and everything after a single quote is ignored. 'lick' is addition, 'moan' and 'scream' are print and println respectively. 'until' is while, and 'call safeword' is break. 'Mistress' is stdin, go read the tutorial for the rest.
