Is it supposed to be so obtrusive to install #FreeBSD as a #desktop on a laptop with a DE? Configuring stsrc, manually editing lightdm #xkb although correct keyboard layout has been configured on installation? No username display just "User &", having TU manually click and type your username. Genuinely interested if FreeBSD is just not meant to be used as a desktop. #unix

Devil’s Dictionary of Programming:
configurable — It’s your job to make it usable.
dsl — A domain specific language, where code is written in one language and errors are given in another.
disrupt — To overcome any legal, social, or moral barrier to profit.
This was written 13 years ago and is more relevant than ever.
Each new generation re-learns the lessons of the past one, poorly and too late.

Advanced Programming in the #UNIX Environment
Week 1, Unix Basics
We write our first trivial program, which promptly segfaults and gives us a chance to explain function forward declarations and maneuvering man pages and set our default compiler flags ("-Wall -Werror -Wextra"), then proceed to write the most trivial versions of cat(1), ls(1), and even a rudimentary shell including a signal handler.

that books gets some stuff right and some other stuff wrong. But it is definitely worthy to read.
For instance, #Lisp and Lisp machines(#LispMachine) have many features which you cannot find in tons of languages today. Includes the classic language of #Unix, C.

If you use a Unix-like operating system (Mac, Linux, BSD, etc) and need to convert a bunch of webp files into pngs, this is how:
for i in *.webp; do magick $i $(basename $i webp).png; done
You can swap out 'png' with 'jpg' if you want jpgs.
And you can swap out 'webp' with a different extension if you want to convert images in different file formats.

OpenBSD proves that minimalism is the best security strategy. Proactive auditing beats reactive patching every time. Most modern OS designs are too bloated to ever be truly secure. Stick to a small codebase to reduce the attack surface.

Advanced Programming the #UNIX Environment
Week 1: UNIX History
We cover the early days at Bell Labs, USL vs BSDi, the birth of the BSDs and #Linux, and how we got from Ken Thompson playing "Space Travel" on a PDP-7 to Unix running on your phone, fridge, and TV.

My 9/11/2001 was an odd day: though I was a college student and would get the cliche millennial "AV cart with a CRT TV and VCR showing the news in class" later in the day, I had a part-time job I went to in the morning.
I drove to work listening to my Rio Volt, so despite being an avid radio listener at the time I missed it on the news until I got to work.
When I came in the secretary said "did you hear a plane hit the Pentagon?" I had not. Getting any information was kind of hard because there were no TVs, only the Internet.
And every news web site was down, so I got news via IRC, namely #unix on EFnet where people were frantically trying to contact regulars of that channel who lived in NY to see if they were okay.
The news came out that one of the Twin Towers had been hit, then the other happened. Eventually via IRC and DCC I was able to download an MPEG and everyone at work gathered around to watch a low resolution video of the towers collapsing.

How important was Linux?
It caused one of the biggest UNIX projects in history, between 4 of the largest companies (at the time) to fall apart, and one to spend 18 YEARS trying to sue IBM for $5-billion dollars, all while attempting to strongarm other companies $699 per server to avoid being the next Target of a suit.
