Bring Your Own Blue Screen of Death

GitHub last commit XO code style

Put a fake Windows 10-ish BSOD on your screen. Because why not.

Example Green Screen of Death. "D: / something super duper bad happened / 0% complete / like really really super extremely super duper bad super bad it's not good it's bad / If you call a support person, give them this info: / Stop code: computer exploded

Developing

Install dependencies, run the dev script. build to build.

Why does this exist?

I needed a recordable Blue Screen of Death on my screen, but I couldn't find anything accurate enough. Some BSOD generators I found had grammatical errors or were outdated. I didn't want to use images, as they wouldn't have an updating progress percentage. Manually triggered BSODs also have a "MANUALLY_TRIGGERED" stop code.

So I made this instead. For a three second gag.

Worth.

How accurate is it?

I tried to get things as accurate as possible, with an overlaid image. Tested in Firefox, experience in other browsers may vary. Kerning is a bit off, vertical spacing isn't perfect. It also looks like Windows 11's BSOD has different vertical spacing around the QR code. Overlaid image of BSOD on top of this below.
