lp0 is a Linux error code that means “printer on fire.”

It’s not a joke. In the 50s, computerized printing was an experimental field.

At LLNL (yes, the nuclear testing site), cathode ray tubes created a xerographic printer.

Can't read LED screens on the beach so I spent some time hacking on @albinowax's old Perl script and made single-file e-books of all Phrack issues, ICYMI:
