No Spare Computer? Virtualization Smash!

The filesystem rebellion we never asked for! Unicode and special characters in filenames are the chaotic evil of computing. Remember those ancient days when filenames had to be 8.3 format and couldn't have spaces? Fast forward to now where someone's saving files as $6.14 receipt for bagel @ Bagel Bitc# 😋.pdf.jpg and filesystem engineers are quietly sobbing in the corner. The best part is that "CAPITAL I LOWERCASE L NUMBER 1" joke - because nothing says "I want to watch the world burn" like creating filenames specifically designed to be visually indistinguishable from each other. It's like the digital equivalent of replacing someone's sugar with salt. And that absurdly specific filepath to Abbey Road? Pure psychological warfare against sysadmins everywhere.

That timestamp isn't just any date—it's the sacred Unix epoch, the moment when computer time began. January 1, 1970, at precisely midnight UTC. The digital equivalent of "In the beginning..." for computers. Spot this timestamp in your logs and you know something's deeply wrong. Either your system thinks it's partying like it's 1970, or your timestamp logic has completely given up on life. No developer sees this without getting that cold shiver down their spine—the unmistakable feeling that a weekend of debugging awaits.
