Had some time to spare on Saturday night so upgraded #FreeBSD 14.2 RELEASE to latest p3 patch level, happy to know that drm-61-kmod is finally working well. #BSD

J. G. Harston running BBC BASIC on a real PDP-11 running 2BSD is quite wild, too.

All of the ingredients for BASIC on Unix on PDP-11 emulation on Raspberry Pi as a second processor for a BBC Master are there, it seems. (-:

Is there any Linux equivalent to a FreeBSD jail, or any planned development of one? Searching for one brings up results for Chroot jails, which are completely unrelated, except that it has the word jail in its name.

Ok, Does this exist??

I hear a lot of talk about how so much of tech was built by queer people. People joking whenever bigots start boycotting Rainbows that they'd best shut off their computers, because the whole stack is built by people represented by it.

Does the book highlighting that, really giving the stories of just how filled with gay, trans, etc. stories early (mid, and modern) computing is?

Because, if it does, I'd love to read it, and if it doesn't.. it *should*, and I almost never use that word. But queer history is being erased all the time and fighting back against that is important.

I don't know my computing history all that well, but I know that many of the major players still are alive and may be willing to tell stories to someone. But we've only got that option for so much longer. I'm stuck as a queer unix-dabbler with very little writing experience wondering if since this idea has come to me, I'm going to have to give it a try.

I know I have a lot of ideas that never get enough of my attention to get off the ground, so if this one grabs you, run with it with my blessing. If you can make this happen, do it. If you'd like to help me do so, I'd welcome the aid. I know I'm under qualified to take this on.

Look at the year 2K17 yet I still used DVD storage to boot ghostBSD!

I just absolutely love #kakoune as an editor. I've been implementing some of the #emacs note-taking features that I loved and it's quite straightforward.

For example, I implemented command macros that you can write to files.

Code ended up being ~10 lines of code.

"This week in Plasma" brings the news of how System Monitor lets you easily check what your background services are up to, how the Bluetooth widget helps you keep track of the number of devices connected to your computer, and how KRunner "understands" more measurements, no matter how archaic.
