This made me so weirdly sad. I remember this guy; he was well known for being technically skilled but a huge pain in the ass for everyone to work with, and it’s weird to see how resigned he is now to his prison life.

He belongs in prison obviously, but it’s so, so strange hearing how his time being able to be a free man and just work on his technical projects that he’s passionate about, is such a faraway memory for him now.

    Woah so that’s the creator of 8Chan. Damn that guy has created a lot of harm in the world. Kinda more interesting than the murderer story.

      Two different people. Hans Reiser is the filesystem developer who killed his wife, and Frederick Brennan was the 8chan creator who wrote to Reiser and got back the published letter.

        Yes I know, I found that part more interesting than the murderers story.

          Oh, I got it. Yeah, I didn’t know any of the 8chan saga.
