    Any pager that uses termcap/terminfo and does so properly will enter/exit 'cursor addressing mode', which will normally end up switching to and from the XTerm alternate screen, which isn't what you want.

    AFAIAA not even the #Illumos pg is as dumb as you want. That uses terminfo, too.

    You'd have to resurrect something from 1977 or so.

    Or see how far forcing TERM=dumb gets you.

    Or port Microsoft's MORE command. (-:

  14. De BULL SHIT van PLASTERK 🧵2/2

    4️⃣ De Mossad is een terroristische organisatie die o.a. en masse pagers liet ontploffen. Israël doet *NIETS* om burgerdoden te voorkómen, zo wees -notabene EU- onderzoek eind 2024 al uit.

    5️⃣ Hongersnood: Gaza is een concentratiekamp omsloten door de IDF. Pogingen om via alternatieve routes hulpgoederen Gaza binnen te laten (o.a. Flottilla) worden gesaboteerd door Israël.

    6️⃣ Hongersnood: wil Plasterk beweren dat de VN en *ALLE* hulporganisaties liegen?

    7️⃣ "Het hele uithongerverhaal is propaganda". Plasterk, WIE betaalt JOU?

    Nb. ik heb de Alt-tekst moeten inkorten (paste anders niet).

    Op 11-09-'25 "bewees" Ronald Plasterk waarom Israël geen genocide zou plegen [1]. Debunked, exact 1 maand later.

    [1] telegraaf.nl/opinie/ronald-pla (alt: archive.is/4VQsF).

    1️⃣ Israël verjaagt al sinds de Nakba (1948) Palestijnen van hun land. De aanval van extreem gefrustreerde Hamas-strijders op 7-10-2023 —vanuit concentratiekamp Gaza— was afschuwelijk, maar een voorspelbare noodkreet (zie ook plaatje 2). Sterker, Israël heeft die aanval uitgelokt om verdere landjepik te rechtvaardigen. Een deel van de ca. 1200 Israëliërs is zelfs door de IDF gedood: onder de Hannibal Directive (opzettelijk, om gijzelingen te voorkómen) of door "friendly fire".

    2️⃣ Waarom mag Bob Vylan niet "Death to the IDF" (een "leger" met de vreselijkste terroristen) scanderen, terwijl de Tweede Kamer Hamas wil vernietigen? Bovendien houdt Israël voortdurend zo'n 10.000 Palestijnen gegijzeld onder onmenselijke omstandigheden, waarvan ca. 30% zonder enige vorm van proces.

    3️⃣ "Hamas" zijn vaders, zoons, broers en neven. Zij wonen, net als IDF-soldaten, bij hun families als zij niet aan het werk zijn. De IDF zet wél Palestijnen in als menselijk schild.

  20. Hands up, those who remember that manual pages are actually formatted for paper, and for 4 decades most of us have been using a filter option in the pager programs to squeeze out all of blank lines in the page headers and footers.

    It's interesting to see that some more modern manual pages have done away with the extra blank lines and actually display just fine on a terminal without the filter.

    We might be able to drop the filter in another 20 years, at this rate. (-:

  23. #AmateurRadio has a lot of awards. It also has #pagers, because thanks to #DAPNET, everything old is new again. So why not have awards for making contacts via paging?

    1. DAPNET uses UHF, so it’s open to all hams regardless of license class.
    2. More people turn on #POCSAG in their hotspots, growing the DAPNET network.
    3. LotW won’t accept Internet-assisted QSOs, but QRZ does!
    4. It encourages proper logging.
    5. Bored with #HamRadio? Try a new mode!

    Ridiculous? Yes. Let’s do it.

  28. This year really had the crazierst shit happen. From #Hezbollah being decimated by #exploding #pagers, over someone trying (and, arguably, sadly failing) to 360 #noscope #Trump; #Elon #Musk getting his own #government office; south #koreas PM #Yoon pulling a #coup to stay in power, followed by his #party feverishly defending his actions to an #anti-islamic ex- #muslim doctor running 400m of #christmas #market with his car #killing five because he thinks #germany is turning into #afghanistan 🤯

    I keep expecting some sort of state level condemnation of this. Instead pundits repeatedly described this new method of inflicting remote mass, life changing disabilities as ‘audacious’.

    A disturbing green light for other groups to use this attack vector.

    Not hard to imagine one or two of these horrific attacks against a civilian population, creating a future where people are too scared to carry connected devices.
