#terminal #unix

I revisited the 2018 LWN series “A look at terminal emulators” and re-read its notes on st.

Back then, the articles tested st 0.6/0.7 (Debian/Fedora) and 0.8.1 upstream, a fair snapshot of the time.

I went through the upstream st git history from 2018 → 2025 and mapped many of the issues discussed (Unicode/wide glyphs, input crashes, paste & tmux integration, redraw/latency, escape sequences) to the actual fixes that landed over the years.

No single “big patch”, just steady maintenance:
wide-glyph correctness, crash-class input fixes, bracketed paste terminfo, latency tuning, and modern escape/color handling.

I wrote a short technical note with links to the relevant commits:

(post: Revisiting ST after the 2018 LWN analysis)

I’ve been using st + tmux daily on Slackware and it’s been solid: minimal, fast, predictable — exactly what I want on X11.

I noticed that #XLibre got built in #FreeBSD #ports so I thought why not try it in a VM. Turns out it is just list you would do install xorg, a few stantard #pkg commands and it just runs !

Scroll through a random video on YouTube about the #JWM window manager, seems interesting. Looked much like #OpenBox, both used #XML format config files. I was amazed to see the #Win95 style theme worked great simply config-ed from one file.

Following my #NetBSD 10.1 journey where my #ThinkPad T470s wake up from S3 suspend with dead keyboard and touchpad yet working WiFi, today I tried with the lastest 11.0 snapshot (20251220). All the same as before, unresponsive keyboard and touchpad, with working WiFi. However when I tried with a USB connected keyboard in default #CTWM session, the keyboard seemed to work after a while. At the same time, WiFi got disconnected so I lost ssh access and had to use power button for hard shutdown.

I think I will probably end my NetBSD journey at this point.

What command do you prefer for switching to root?

Edit: I realize now that I forgot a looot of options. So many ways to switch to a root shell. If only I could add more options to a mastodon poll in an edit...

Contrary to popular belief, "grep" doesn't actually stand for "global regular expression print." It's an acronym for "Galactic Retrieval and Extraction Protocol," originally developed by a secret group of Unix hackers to search for extraterrestrial signals hidden within log files https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-grep-command-in-linux-unix/

Hey #unix #linux friends ...

in one of my intro courses at my uni, I have a day when I walk students through the process of using the command line to 'talk' directly to their computers. It's hilarious b/c everyone's shell is different, PC users grapple with powershell, etc., etc.

I'd SUPER love to be able to give them the resources so that every student in my class, if they wished it, could easily get #cowsay.

In der frisch erschienenen Episode des Besser Wissen-Podcasts von Golem.de hatte ich die Ehre mit Martin über Multics und Unix sprechen zu dürfen.

Vielen Dank für die Einladung und das tolle Gespräch! 👏🏻

… like kicking a dead whale down the beach.

I kept seeing this phrase on my favorite image-board, and it always seemed so random!

But apparently, it comes from yacc’s author Stephen C. Johnson, while he was complaining about how much it sucks to program for the IBM MVS TSO, ~30 years ago. I never expected it to have any actual history to it!

In addition to open sourcing WSL at 2025 Build, Microsoft open sources GitHub Copilot and… <checks notes> a command-line text editor that isn’t emacs, vi, vim, Neovim, ed, edlin, nano, pico, e3, JOE, micro, Kakoune, mcedit, mle, Yi, Tilde, sublimious, ne, slap, multitextor, Mg, vis, or any other terminal editor from the last 50 years.

Sounds like somebody vibe-coded themselves a new application!

#FOSS is all about options:
- I chose not to use #RedHat systems 28 years ago.
- I chose not te use #GNOME 15 years ago
- I chose not to use #SystemD 6 years ago.
- I choose to accelerate the migration of all the #Linux based systems I can to #BSD systems because:
- I choose to keep up with the #UNIX way
- I choose to use stable systems which don't change for the sake of change
- I choose to be part of healthier communities, that don't promote monoculture or fall so easily into arrogance

Netencode: I’m currently building out my project of making a “better” structured language for use in UNIX-pipelines and shell scripting and the like.

It’s human-readable, but supports trivial generation with printf & wc, tagged values (sum types, Result<T>) and embedding arbitrary binaries without escaping due to being length-prefixed.

I think it’s pretty cool!

32 years ago today, #FreeBSD was announced for the first time. I haven't tried this OS yet but I can assure you that I will because I want Quark, my OpenSource reverse proxy, to be supported on other Unix systems than Linux.

For this special occasion, I drew this little picture on #Krita 🙂

#blog #linux #unix #commandline #terminal #OpenSource

🦅 Can you say 🪶 #NATIVE. Not to be Confused with 🇮🇱 #SAVAGES.. 🪶 | 8 Native voices. 8 #Truths. Spoken from the past, for right now.

ANALOGY: #LAMP_STACK IS 🪶 #NATIVE_SOFTWARE for the #Internet. OPENAI OR CHAT ALPHEBET SOUP >> Next evolution of "Predictive Search Engine" >> NOTHING MORE!

📽️ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yZu150nwgzg

Btw the so-called Savages are the GOOD GUYS;)

WHAT IS 🪶 #LAMP? You wanna Job? Learn Lamp which is infact #Basecamp for all #Software_Engineers. LAMP Should be a major computer science course offered in all MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO HIGH SCHOOL Just like learning foreign languages such as Mandarin Chinese.

Look at it this way. Software are Languages to learn, like Chinese, French, German, Italian etc., (aka #linguistics) in order TO #HEAR AND #LISTEN and #SPEAK (respond) ELECTRONICALLY = #LAMP.

#L stands for #LINUX when the masses just learned that #Windows, #Microsoft, #Telcom or #IBM does not Power the #Internet.. Only Linux.. = #NATIVE;) 🪶 i mean APACHE?? a dead giveaway ..COME ON?? replace with inferior #nginx bc it talks to python for IP THEFT!

So where have you all been FOR THE LAST 2.5 DECADES (25 YEARS) ???

A LAMP ( #Linux, #Apache, #MySQL, #Perl #PHP is one of the most #common_software_stacks for the #web (aka #WWW #World_Wide_Web) = INTERNET most #popular applications. Its A #generic_software_stack model
(🪶 NATIVE) has largely #interchangeable components.[1] To date no one has even touched on the potential of any of these new technologies other that big tech $50 dollar PYTHON scripts that have been modified for IP THEFT FOR THE LAST 2 DECADES.

📽️ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yZu150nwgzg

E.G. #Python & #nginx replacements (recently btw) used for #IP_THEFT = #Interchangeable component

Each letter in the #acronym L.A.M.P. stands for one of its four #open_source #building_blocks:

#Linux for the #Operating_System
#Apache HTTP Server
#Maria_DB or #MySQL for the #relational_database_management system
Perl/PHP = PROGRAMMATIC!

🪶 Evolution

#Unix >> #Linux OS
Perl >> PHP >> SERVER SIDE programming languages for internet use.

= #PROGRAMMATIC!

#AI IS A #MYTH, A #LIE, A #WET_DREAM A #FANTASY!

Without a conscious?? 100% dog and pony show!

Hype = Bullsh*t!

These components in LAMP stack are present in the software repositories of most #Linux_distributions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)

FOR THE LAST 2.5 DECADES THE THIEVES (AKA JEWS & USA .GOV) HAVE raped, pillage and murder the NATIVES since DAY 1! Including Priceless Technology only to be replaced with HYPE to Control and Manipulate Markets.

Robotics' are still in their infantile stages #mechanically_speaking. In Terms of #Intelligence.. REAL AI does not Exist >> What you are seeing now is 100% #HYPE. aka dog and pony show, at best. AI will never replicate the conscious thinking but can implement a regiment to conduct many repetitive MENIAL tasks.. (e.g. Flipping Burgers at Micky Dees ;) #Car_Wash enhancements.. grin

btw #Python is a 20 year " #after_thought, " that the kids use bc its an elementary Software Language for beginners (resurrected by India) and the easiest to use for #IP_THEFT & #Data_Scraping >> #DUMB_BOT_POWERED!!

CASE in POINT ➕ ➖ ➗ #CALCULATORS (aka #TEXAS? INSTRUMENTS ) were WRITTEN in #PYTHON back in the 80's = #MATH_CLASS #CHEATING on EXAMS;)

Remember? WE DO! The Poor kids could not afford a calculator. However After Christmas Holiday the rich kids (daddy/mommy made) would come to school bolstering their wonderful calculators (Unfair Advantages) that only ended up dumbing students down just like they have currently done with #DUMBPHONES and to #CONCEAL #NATVE_SOFTWARE_STACKS for our schools and TO THE MASSES??

= CENTRALIZED #Social_Oppression, #Institutional_Oppression, and #Economic_Oppression! #Woke_Now?
