Many of the files appear to contain JavaScript functions in a format generated by Adobe Dreamweaver, making it almost certain that at least some of the websites were developed in that editor. This was first pointed out by Reddit user sq00q. Also note that the username spells "boobs" upside down in leet.

For example, starwarsweb.net contains the four following functions, first commented out which is funny and has some version comments:

function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0

and then repeated on a body onload. Here MM_ stands for MacroMedia, and is mentioned e.g. at:

Doing:

git grep MM_swapImage | sed -r 's/\/.*//' | sort -u | wc

The same signatures are also found on the early websites from 2004 such as alljohnny.com.

The approximate version history is:

The issue appears to be that the file watcher goes out of control.

The reproduction is very simple:

mkdir mytest
cd mytest
seq 1000000 | xargs touch
code --disable-extensions .

and now the editor GUI hangs and Ubuntu shows a popup:

The window is not responding
