I’ve been thinking of making some short form videos about historical #Unix versus current releases of #FreeBSD, #illumos, #Linux and macOS, occasionally 9front if I find way more time than I expect.
I’m leaning toward preferring v6 due to its preceding BSD1 & PWB, the Lions book, MIT’s xv6 (and modern projects like rust rewrites).

I’m planning to start with straightforward userland experience first: sh, cc, ed & basic file operations. Anyone got topics they’d like to see?

@BrodieOnLinux @qdot I find this to be the worst way to decide a #TechStack.

  • If #IT was developed and maintained that way, we'd not have #Linux or even #Windows, most likely not even #CPM & #UNIX because "everyone uses punchcards and tubes, so stop complaining!"...

#NetworkEffects are #toxic when it comes to #SaaS and #proprietary shite, regardless if the bad guys are #discord, #Autodesk, #Adobe, #Apple or #Microsoft for that matter. (Don't even get me started on #SAP & #Oracle!)…

  • I just don't vibe with that appeal and would rather #SelfHost than compromise. If that makes me an outlyer then I'm happy to pay that price!

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@MxVerda@lgbtqia.space @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social @qdot@buttplug.engineer Well, depending on what you want to develop or communicate there are various options. - Many folks went from #GitHub to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de / #Codeberg to do their #FLOSS development as it too has #IssueTrackers and means to discuss things without #loginwalled read-only access. Others like @torproject@mastodon.social have their own @gitlab@mastodon.social / #GitLab servers #SelfHosted. - If you want a #Chat then consider #LiberaChat if you don't demand #privacy. Otherwise @delta@chaos.social / #deltaChat and/or #XMPP via @monocles@monocles.social & @gajim@fosstodon.org may be an option. - If you do want some #LoginWalling for some reason, consider @zulip@fosstodon.org / #ZulipChat as it has a nice #threading model that can handle both asynchronous communication and high traffic without becoming unfindable or unarchiveable. Otherwise there's like @RocketChat@fosstodon.org / #RocketChat which also works great by my own experience. Case in point: #discord just makes it more cumbersome and painful than anything. It's basically *#Slack + #MicrosoftTeams, but worse*…

@aka_pugs

Did that a while ago, afterwards I found tcsh has this setting "set rmstar" which will prompt to stop that. Since I added that to ~/.tcshrc, I attempted that a few times but was foiled :) The last time was 2 weeks ago.

This seems to be my downfall and why I need it.
Instead of doing something like "rm v*" I love putting a space before the *.

I would think other shells have a similar setting.

Virtualizzazione e containerizzazione su Linux possono diventare anche un buon metodo per reperire software.
Distrobox, in particolare, viene utilizzato a questo scopo persino su alcune distribuzioni immutabili.

Sony’s NEWS UNIX workstations

The first prototype was ready in just six months. By October 1986, the project was announced, and in January 1987, the first NEWS workstation, the NWS 800 series, officially launched. It ran 4.2BSD UNIX and featured a Motorola 68020 CPU. Its performance rivaled that of traditional super minicomputers, but with a dramatically lower price point ranging from ¥950,000 to ¥2.75 milli

I think I need more reasons to use #OpenBSD. I used to be a heavy user, even used to run it on my laptop, but currently manage zero installations.

I also think I should give #NetBSD a fair shake, I've only ever installed it twice, and never really given it a chance.

Using OpenBSD is easy, I'll probably convert my wireguard router over to it.

But any suggestions on NetBSD use cases? I mean this from the context of a heavy #FreeBSD user with a massive emphasis on jails.

I've spent little to no time on Mastodon in the last few weeks, let alone posting...

The reason has been the illness and then death of my beloved dog “Sam”, aka “Unixdog”, which has left me pretty broken up.

The grief is still not out of my heart, and it doesn't look like things are getting better at the moment, but I will try to bring normality back into my life and thus post Linux and Open Source related topics here again.

And I hope that Sam is doing well in dog heaven, running and jumping across green meadows - and shitting in them. Just like he liked to do here on earth... 😢
