"I started keeping a list of these annoyances but it got too long and depressing so I just learned to live with them again. We really are using a 1970s era operating system well past its sell-by date. We get a lot done, and we have fun, but let's face it, the fundamental design of #Unix is older than many of the readers of Slashdot, while lots of different, great ideas about computing and networks have been developed in the last 30 years. Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy."

He starts by clearing up my error in saying he was a Unix co-creator in the original Call For Questions. From there he goes on to answer your questions both completely and lucidly. A refreshing change from the politicians and executives we've talked to so much recently, no doubt about it....

In the mid 1980s the Computer Science Department at the University of Rochester began using Typesetter-Independent troff with an experimental laser printer and a strange phototypesetter. This report described their experience, war stories, and advice for implementors of troff post processors.

The removal of TrueNAS legacy (CORE) leaves space for a tenth button.

What would you like?

The button need not be FreeBSD-specific. Discussions frequently attract users of other systems.

The sidebar of r/freebsd is crowded (very tall), and this cluster of buttons is relatively far down, so I doubt that it will gain much attention. Still, cafe community thoughts are welcome.

Three screenshots:

1. an overview of <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/top/?sort=top&t=day> before removal of the TrueNAS button

2. the entire sidebar as represented at <https://sh.reddit.com/r/freebsd/about/>

3. focus on the other sub shortlist, and the other shortlist, within the sidebar.

Thanks.

Editor: quick! I need art to accompany the article on internationalization of #UNIX for our Dec 1985 issue!

Illustrator on shrooms: say no more.
