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

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!sortJust 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

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
OR
onchange test/indie/domains_test.exs --only dnssec
If I want to run specific tags only.
fd .ex\? | entr -s 'mix test --trace --stale --listen-on-stdin'
