I first used BSD 4.3 at UC Berkeley in 1986, and have been dabbling at various levels ever since.

Mostly OpenBSD now, but I have (old!) Thinkpads running both FreeBSD and NetBSD.

The UNIX shell is still one of the best IDEs ever created.

grep/find/sed/awk/make/ssh/git/nvi often compose better than many modern “integrated” environments.

Small programs connected together still scale surprisingly well.

@swan_tower Bravely done, indeed. What can you do for yourself as a treat/reward?

Happy pride month.

Corporations that lobby to block minimum wage, host ICE, union bust, and participate in the prison pipeline, do not get to dip their logo in a rainbow and get your queer dollars.

There is no ethical use of Generative AI. Some are forced to use it for work, and I would never tell someone to risk their housing or food security to avoid it. Beyond that I find it simply inexcusable.

"a team that knows how to work well together" is a hell of a resource, and the way in which corps treat workers as fungible and interchangeable completely ignores the massive synergistic benefits -of- such a close-knit team being allowed to remain together.

@Genderqueerwolf Good luck, and may everything survive ok. Frost in mid-May in Portland is outside my experience; is it unusual?
