Doing some research for more #Unix #manpage history goodness... Does this look familiar? The old-timey mv and chmod from the #CTSS programmer's manual, 1963, MIT.

@miodvallat beautiful!
Did we ever get bored of juvenile east Pacific octopuses? No? Even in the coldest, darkest of Hood Canal dives, I love finding these tiny fellas, switching to low powered lighting, and just watching them explore. It's hard to tell whether they're east pacific or great pacific octopuses (the former sometimes have three "eye lobes" is all), but in the latter case, it's amazing how something so small grows into something so huge! #scuba #underwaterphotography #macrophotograpy
It was a snowy dive this morning in Hood Canal, Washington, which I guess is... normal?... in late March? Nice visibility and little jellies making for fun black-water macro. Very few nudibranches to be found, but I had a fun time with one of the local seals lighting up her fishing grounds. #underwaterphotography #scuba
Enough code... Let's take some time to enjoy this beautiful kelp pipefish giving me a coy 3/4 profile. One of my favourite parts of nighttime deco, alone in the cold Hood Canal darkness, is watching the pipefish wind and unwind from the sea grass at 6m. Someday I'll photograph one with eggs! #scuba #underwaterphotography #macrophotography
Do you want to write manpages but the strange manpage language is just too much? All mysterious looking ".Op Fl v Pf = Ar baz", whatever that means? This is your moment: lowdown v3.0.0, just released, has support to properly convert manpage-like Markdown to idiomatic mdoc.7 and man.7 output. It's described in https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/mdoc.html. Focus on your code, and let lowdown handle the docs. Full link: https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown
(Salacious intro aside, this has been a long piece of development; and yes, it makes me a little sad, because mdoc.7 is a format I enjoy. But let's face it: sticking to mdoc.7 (or worse, man.7) is a losing battle. We can do better!) #unix #manpages
Blackwater photos of tiny jellies is one of my new favourite activities. Unfortunately they love to congregate in the worst visibility! I have no idea what this one is, nor what its squiggly insides do. But they're so pretty! #underwaterphotography #scuba
It's been over a month since I've been in the water having macro fun! Fortunately, a bit of time cleared up and this Dirona albolineata came out to visit. 🥰🥰 #scuba #weloveslug #underwaterphotography
