I really like your post. And speaking of csh, I recently gave it a try on NetBSD after reading "An Introduction To The C Shell" by Bill Joy. I do kind of like it but I gave up as I just couldn't deal with using Esc for file c

I have come to the conclusion that I want a shell that is developed independently of any operating system - so that I can have consistency no matter which Unix-like OS I happen to have installed. I've recently tried Bash, Tcsh, Zsh, an

Mastodon is very interesting to me but discoverability would seem to be an issue. Despite Twitter's flaws, I can at least search all of it. What are people using to find things across Mastodon servers? Google search?

I don't trust or use either one.

"That sounds like an odd thing to wish for in software where you are the user. That's asking for less freedom. So why would you do that?" First, the BSD license offers more total freedom than the GPL does. I say this despite

Personally, this is why I would prefer that UNIX vendors/distributions not include advanced languages like Python, Perl, Lua, and Ruby. It seems like it ends up causing more issues than it solves.

What I would like to see is for them to ditch all the GNU/GPL stuff and go with BSD for userland. Shipping old stuff is unacceptable and it's not like we can't install it if we want it.

I like Arch a lot, but these days, I prefer Debian. That said, even if you don't use Arch, its wiki is a trove of information.

I find anonymous ftp to still be useful for distributing files to users. But for personal files? No.

All I know is that I will avoid any system that can work if I am not conscious.

I am glad to see I am not the only one who gets this. I use IE at work and it is annoying. I have also noticed that Google's Captcha is more annoying than it is on Chrome.

I used to love reading Byte magazine and I always enjoyed his column in the magazine. I am sorry to hear he has passed away.

I forgot about the whole NetApp thing. Good point.

Having tried various Illumos-based operating systems, I could care less if they reopened Solaris with one exception: ZFS. I would like to see them alter the licensing terms of it so that it could be properly integrated into Linux. I believe

I am more interested in knowing why it is happening. I find it hard to believe the Cuban government itself would want this.

Well, it is also bullshit to require the subject of an investigation to assist in their own investigation. I don't care what the laws says - it's wrong.

Might just be linkrot. I know there is a lot of it on the Plan9Port page. A search for Plan9Port brought up the Github page for me.

I haven't ever had to mess with Makefiles, as I don't program anything other the basic shell scripts, but I do remember reading articles in the past that indicated Makefiles can be used for more than just programming. For example:

At my job, we recently changed to this, and I dislike it. I like to refer to it as Office Design by Orwell.

Personally, I am not a fan of Favicons; it feels like yet another form of advertising - which the web has more than enough of.

I just noticed the Weird Tales scans the other day. I was mainly looking for Robert E Howard stories but there are lots of other good things in them as well.
