lol, i significantly improved my vacation by reverse engineering the virtual desktops on windows :) best memories of last year: reverse engineering is hellovafun!

learned a lot of interesting thing, namely there is an undocumented messaging underlying the RPC in windows: https://csandker.io/2022/05/24/Offensive-Windows-IPC-3-ALPC....

LOL, now that you mentioned it, terminals have been always.. difficult (to avoid saying retarded again) with delete and backspace and i have no idea why :D

these days it's not so bad (probably because mainly working with linux these days), but when i was younger and working with different Unices, getting terminal to work properly involved lot of effort and internal screaming "Y U no work!"

i always wondered - why is ncurses so retarded with the Esc key?

(there's usually delay between Esc taking action, one should press it once and then wait a second until it takes effect)
