When's the last time you ran 'pkg clean' on your host or your jails? Quick way to free up disk space.

bastille pkg ALL clean

> pkg clean is used to cleanup the local cache of packages downloaded from remote repositories. It removes packages that have been superseded by newer versions, and any packages that are no longer provided.

For the cover art, I wanted to depict different FreeBSD users: one playing Nintendo and another watching Netflix. The idea was to showcase the users without featuring brand logos.

I just made the new #FreeBSD song.
This time it's rap with jungle DNB mashup.

It's standardized to the extent that the escape sequences are valid, now. It's just up to the implementation to choose, from the two choices, and to document what they do.

With issue 7, using those escape sequences in a BRE would have made it ill-formed.

There's a fair amount of stuff in the world of POSIX and C and C++ where things are implementation-defined. It's a distinct thing from not actually being standardized.

The sad thing is that HP-UX will likely never be fixed. But #Illumos and #OpenBSD could be. They're both #HenrySpencer-derived, like #NetBSD and #FreeBSD, and dropping in that part of the Evans code for those three escape sequences wouldn't be that hard.
