Let me guess: historical termcap. (-:

Might be Joy+Horton #vi, but my first guess is #termcap.

The way that termcap, and even terminfo, handle switchable stuff like this is truly terrible, because it simply does not fit their model. They're poor on input sequences anyway.

#FreeBSD still uses termcap(5), pretty much the only operating system left that does, and its manual page discusses how one might want to be compatible with AT&T #Unix S5R2 in the future.

So .. die BSDler sind schuld, da ging letztens im kontext um bsdcafe rum mensch mรถge doch mal seinen desktop sharen...

O.k. ich nutz kein bsd .. aber dafรผr bin ich ein mindestens genauso eingeschworener #unix und speziell #linux user.

Also dann mal zum spass hier mein desktop: Hardware is eine perfomante AM4 platform mit sinnvoller gpu, die 3 1920x1200px eizo FlexScan EV2456 IPS panels antreibt. Das gibt mir angenehme 5760x1200 px bildschirmflรคche, wobei jedes display einzeln 1080p content beinhalten kann..

Betrieben wird das ganze von einem natรผrlich von hand zurechtgestricktem Gentoo linux (RIP Funtoo .. snueff) ... und als desktop kommt nach wie vor X11 mit LXQt und openbox wm zum einsatz..

Zu sehen sind auf dem desktop vorallem Particle Fleet Emergence (shout out to @globalc ;), das mittlere (2nd screen) display hat primรคr youtube und darunter noch ein terminal mit IRC (hello #ircnet! ;) und weiter rechts davon dann ein "floating stuff" display mit openhamclock, steam, telegram und gkrellm ;)

Und ja, ich hab 3 internet browser parallel am laufen, das sieht nicht nur so aus.....

FreeBSD has started public laptop testing as part of its larger effort to improve hardware support and become a stronger option for everyday desktop use.

Something that I'd love to be able to do, but haven't figured out how, yet:

You can run somecommand 2>&1 > log.txt to get STDOUT and STDERR together, but you won't know which is which.
You can run somecommand 2>err.txt >log.txt to get STDOUT and STDERR separate, but you won't know the timing, or which error messages happened between which STDOUT messages.
I'd like to figure out some way to combine both, so you end up with a file like this:

1: this was a STDOUT message 1: this was a STDOUT message 1: this was a STDOUT message 2: this was a STDERR message 2: this was a STDERR message 1: this was a STDOUT message 2: this was a STDERR message 1: this was a STDOUT message 1: this was a STDOUT message 1: this was a STDOUT message 1: this was a STDOUT message 1: this was a STDOUT message 2: this was a STDERR message 2: this was a STDERR message

Any ideas? @mirabilos?
