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!
GhostBSD is going to abandon Xorg after 15 years. Eric Turgeon explains why GhostBSD switched from Xorg to XLibre instead of Wayland.

#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!

Determine Which Linux/Unix Init System is Being Used
Join this investigative adventure to determine the init system being used on GNU/Linux or Unix operating system using illustrated command examples.
🦅 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.
#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??

The removal of TrueNAS legacy (CORE) leaves space for a tenth button.
What would you like?
The button need not be FreeBSD-specific. Discussions frequently attract users of other systems.
The sidebar of r/freebsd is crowded (very tall), and this cluster of buttons is relatively far down, so I doubt that it will gain much attention. Still, cafe community thoughts are welcome.
Three screenshots:
1. an overview of <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/top/?sort=top&t=day> before removal of the TrueNAS button
2. the entire sidebar as represented at <https://sh.reddit.com/r/freebsd/about/>
3. focus on the other sub shortlist, and the other shortlist, within the sidebar.
Thanks.
Undo in Vi and its successors
So vi only has one level of undo, which is simply no longer fit for the times we live in now, and also wholly unnecessary given even the least powerful devices that might need to run vi probably have more than enough resources to give at least a few more levels of undo. What I didn't know, however, is that vi's limited undo behaviour is actually part of POSIX, and for full compli

How Hard Is It To Open a File? via @PolyWolf https://lobste.rs/s/fbfu56 #security #unix
https://blog.sebastianwick.net/posts/how-hard-is-it-to-open-a-file/
This Friday at noon PDT, I will be speaking about UNIX V4 for @lindsey's Languages, Systems, and Data Seminar! I'm excited to demonstrate programming with a teletype, as that hasn't fit into my other talks.
If you're interested, email (see my site) or DM me for a Zoom invite.
Abstract: We recently recovered UNIX V4 from a 1974 magnetic tape at the University of Utah. This version of the UNIX operating system, thought to have been lost, was the 19th copy distributed to the public, just months after the first public announcement. It was originally acquired by Martin Newell while managing the computer graphics laboratory, and it was likely connected to his foundational research in procedural modeling and the famous Utah teapot. UNIX V4 was the culmination of the effort to rewrite the kernel in C, made possible by the introduction of structs to the language, and has shaped all modern operating systems. In this talk, I put this artifact into context within the larger history of UNIX and demonstrate period-appropriate software development with a paper-printing teletype and replica PDP-11.
A new UNIX snapshot from 1977 to be released soon!!!
#introduction
Hello,
I am a #sysadmin looking to keep up to date with new stuff going on in tech, both in the professional industry and hobby, #selfhosting #selfhosted arena.
If it’s tech I’m probably interested in it, but specifically I am messing with #meshcore these days and trying to self-host a #discord alternative. I love #linux and #unix and nerd out over the history of both.
