Our kernel who art in the protected memory areas hallowedbe thy interfaces (syscalls). thy init(8)/init(1M) come.
thy will (memory protection and processes scheduling) be
done on the userspace as it is done where thou reside.
and give us our regular time quanta and forgive us our
memory trespasses (violations) as we forgive to the
meatware (and the software developers). and lead us
not into a fault but deliver us from the SIGSEGV. amen.

Today, I wanted a quick utility to help me enter passwords for encfs during mount.
I was looking for something plain, simple and userfriendly.
At the end I ended up to use the shell for it.
Yes, using dialog/Xdialog you can be a GUI programmer in minutes.
If the text is scrambled, you can download the script here.
Cheers!

Yes, that’s rightly mentioned in the title. I’m not a fucking good speaker but this link might be good enough for explanations on why ESR and his open source fundas are shit.
Follow the facts, not the hype.
Free Software has always been about user rights and RMS has done great job.
For me personally, it’s been FSF because of which today what I am. Being a dumb chap from a rural town in a rural state of India and born in a complete business family, I had never dreamt of becoming a computer professional anyway. It was FSF and RMS’ idealisms that brought me today to where I am.
Long live RMS and long live the FSF.
