 "this program that used to work doesn't anymore because, uh, your video
 drivers are out of date."
 
 ... okay but if I didn't update this program either, then why would it matter
 if my video drivers are out of date? wouldn't they be working off of the same
 [rulings/requirements]?
 
 the "best practice" of updating your software all at once instead of
 one-by-one is a disaster for our humankinds consequences or whatever

 I love the concept of this! Maybe if HTTP is too complex, you could try
 another simpler server? I don't know the complexity of the programs I use
 every day, but I'm sure there's one that's very simple. Even just a simple IRC
 style chat server that just... sends text from person A to person B depending
 on their username (like a glorified Router or Switch)

 I think they should be viewed in whatever resolution they were recorded in,
 otherwise they look fuzzy as the pixels need to smush themselves together to
 be correctly represented on screen.
 
 videos should be recorded in whatever resolution your monitor supports, and
 ideally as high as possible. Unless storage space is a concern, in which case
 1080p is more than sufficient.
 
 Storage gets cheaper and cheaper every year, but people across the world
 upload like, 200 years of videos to Youtube every day or whatever (made up
 that number but it's absurd) so maybe curated collections of videos are more
 important than scraped archives?

 Is my formatting pretty or does it make you angry?
screenshots of C and Lua code that have strange formatting. The style is designed such that the readers eyes "flow" across the code like the gradual descent of water down a sloping riverbed, following a logical progression from top left to bottom right (generally) while returning to the left side whenever a new operation is performed or something is repeated.  This particular picture is of a simple if check:  if a creature's rank is equal to "four" or "two", then the creature is a rare monster type. Otherwise, they are not a rare monster type. Lua code to determine whether or not a character in a video game is available to be ambushed by a randomly generated monster.  There are several checks applied, checking things like "is the character sitting down" or "are they underwater", in which case a message is printed to the log and no further action is taken.  If all of the checks pass, and the character is free to be ambushed, then it runs the "spawnAndAttackPlayer()" function. A long string of "if" statements checking whether individual bits in a very small data structure are set. There's nine of them total, and they are arranged in a grid - this project was for a tic-tac-toe game, where there are nine total squares to play in. Setting up some location variables for a player unit. It starts by setting an X, Y, Z, and O for orientation value to a player's current location. Then it steps through and sets them to more accurate values. The reason for this ordering is so that if the function to find the more accurate value fails, it can fall back on the player's current location instead.  The interesting formatting is due to the layout of the "set" operations - they are ordered in a two dimensional grid rather than a top-to-bottom list like how most people would organize it.
