There's lots of books out there that are interesting to the YOSPOS computer janitor, so I think this would be a good time to give some recommendations. I'll start: Savaged by Systemd: an Erotic Unix Encounter  quote:Not your normal Friday night in the computer room. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075DYXZW1

Awful thread so far. Here's a real rec: Racing the Beam by Nick Monfort. it's about the atari vcs. it isn't a typical bullshit gamer book which dances around the cultural impact or whatever, it's a detailed and fascinating account of what it was like to code for this primitive little box. There is an in-depth treatment of the hardware itself, right down to the vagaries and features of individual chips. There are detailed breakdowns on how particular games acieved so much with such meagre processing power. The title "Racing the Beam" refers to the fact that there was no dedicated video hardware. This meant that the main processor had to manually modulate the colour for the cathode ray beam as it swept across the screen. No game logic was possible during this period. Programmers had to use the spare cycles in the overscan period, where the beam falls outside of the screen space in between scan lines, and the "vblank" period where the beam is reset from the bottom to the top of the screen it's one of the cooler computer books i've read
