   I wonder if I'll get in trouble if I put a patched version of the morris worm on github

     @jessica to make it compile with modern GCC.
     It uses some very 1988 assumptions about how C compilers work

     specifically the available source code (which I think was manually reversed, rather than being the real source?) doesn't compile on compilers made after the reagan presidency

     it's pre-ansi K&R C and it seems to assume that you can call static functions before you declare them

     okay I have recreated the disk containing the Morris Worm. I got the source and fixed it to compile and compiled it and put it on a similarly unlabeled black disk.

     @foone make it look like it's a private key you've accidentally uploaded and you'll halve this month's global instances of security breaches

     this 3.5" floppy isn't real, it's just engraved onto a 3.25" floppy

     @smallsees @foone it's hard to see but there is an 8” floppy on the picture of the 5.25" label engraved in the 3.5" floppy, it's floppies all the way down

     @foone Odd choice about the 5.25" icon on the 3.5" disk.

     It's almost like they needed to put the old icon on the new disk so people knew what it was!
