Trying to boot up a Sun V100 that’s sat disconnected in the basement since we moved 12 years ago.

First I had to find where packet me harcourt the sun rj45 to db9 console dongles, and then the old ibm 3151 terminal and its null modem cable and some gender benders and….

Is OpenBSD... exotic? Community member′s perspective The internet is buzzing about GNU/Linux. People talk about the BSD family of operating systems less often than about this one. Are they more complex? Are they more boring? We′ll get to the bottom of.....

🐡Everyone is talking about Linux, but what about the BSDs? Are they too complex, or just too quiet?
One of the members in the OpenBSD community will help us explore these questions in the interview.

Is there any reason, why `curl` lists an example in their `--header` section as follows:

Wow That’s Fascinating The Legend of Finger The finger command let users see who was logged in, and sometimes read their profile or “plan” file. It was social networking before the web—a peek into someone else’s terminal. vintage.computer

I'm getting pretty close to finishing my first video on the ubiquity of win16 APIs in 90s computing.

The main bit of research that I'm having a little trouble with is the exact pricing for the SDKs for #solaris, #aix, and #hpux from the mid 90s

Does anyone have a link, or receipts, of […]

I'm wondering whether it might be better/easier to implement something motif-like (but with a pluggable backend for Wayland/X/etc) and making sure it is utf-8 and hidpi safe and such.

I'd write it in rust with C bindings, with a similar api (but not exactly api compatible) as motif. Then maybe […]

Learned something today. Made me remember this: "Two of the most famous products of #Berkeley are #LSD and #Unix. I don’t think that is a coincidence." Judging by the name of this distro, LSD hasn't gone out of fashion. ;-)
