Anybody using the #Alpine email client? I am trying to use for mail lists but I cannot seem to make the thread mode work. Now all mails are sorted by date or alphabetically, not option to get a threaded look.

John Lions announced his now-famous commentary on #UNIX in Unix News from March 1977. Lions' work provided a line-by-line explanation of the Sixth Edition kernel source code, widely considered a masterclass in UNIX kernel internals

In your opinion, what can the Linux community do to spread Linux even more?

How can we get ordinary people to adopt Linux and free software?

I know it all boils down to making it more user-friendly for the general public, which is something that has improved over the years.

What else?

Small but mighty news for UNIX fans:
GNU ed 1.22 is out! Now you can filter specific line ranges through shell commands directly in ed, ex(1)-style:

1,10!sort

Just like in ex or sed, this filters addressed lines through your favorite shell tools a great upgrade for scripting and editing workflows.

Even better: Today’s batch of Slackware -current updates already includes ed 1.22. If you’re running -current and up to date, you already have the new version!

I was just about to complain why #pkgin in #NetBSD about having long commands like install, search and list and no short form like install for #pkg in #FreeBSD and then pkgin without any argument slaps me in the face and say no you can just use in se ls for install search and list

It's true on #Fediverse it seems that everyone is running some #unix stuff, be it #Linux or #BSD or even #plan9 and alike. In real life people see your screen and ask "hey you're running #MacOS or what?" and you say "oh no it's Linux " and 90% of time they are like "what?say that again??" 😂😂😂

After seeing the video from the Henry Tech channel I tried #NetBSD on real hardware for the first time too. The installation really was not as intuitive to me as #OpenBSD and #FreeBSD , especially I was trying to install the system to a separate partition alongside FreeBSD on the same disk. But hey I finally did it after some googling!

This is how I do test-driven development in Elixir. This function is saved in .config/fish/functions so it preloads whenever I open the terminal. Fish shell is the one I've been using forever.

Then I can do either

onchange test/indie/domains_test.exs

onchange test/indie/domains_test.exs --only dnssec

If I want to run specific tags only.

#Elixir #FishShell

function onchange
if test (count $argv) -lt 1
echo "Usage: onchange <file> [--only tag ...]"
return 1
end

set file $argv[1]
set args $argv[2..-1]

echo "📡 Watching $file for changes..."

while true
inotifywait -e close_write,moved_to,create $file > /dev/null
echo "🔁 Change detected! Running test_trace $file $args..."
test_trace $file $args
end
end — function onchange if test (count $argv) -lt 1 echo "Usage: onchange <file> [--only tag ...]" return 1 end set file $argv[1] set args $argv[2..-1] echo "📡 Watching $file for changes..." while true inotifywait -e close_write,moved_to,create $file > /dev/null echo "🔁 Change detected! Running test_trace $file $args..." test_trace $file $args end end

@maikel even easier, I don't have a fish thing for it
