If we go with What Multics Calls Things as a guide to what the name would have been in an alternative history, it is a "search list".
The mind boggles as to what we would have got with an IBM heritage.
"Authorized Ordered Command Location Facility Set" or some such.
And they'd have made it a set, too. No duplicates. (-:
New instance, new #introduction
I migrated from https://cybervillains.com/@_xhr_ Great instance but recently the downtimes have been a bit overwhelming. Hence you haven't heard in a while.
I am in the #Unix world since nearly 30 years, used all kinds of Linux, was a #DragonFly BSD committer in the 2010 (you might have seen dma, which is now part of #FreeBSD https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dma&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+14.3-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html). My daily driver is #OpenBSD.
In my day job I worked in #InfoSec for over a decade, mostly in a technical sense. These days more in the non-technical world, wrangling the ISO 27k1.
I've been on Mastodon since 2016 and migrated instances twice.

I released a new version of Exosphere, my tool for aggregated patch and update reporting over ssh, with An Even Fancier Interactive CLI.
Also massively improves error reporting, which should make it less obnoxious to diagnose authentication or setup issues.
Updated my mandelbrot app to display in 256 colors by default and switched it to use the Classic Mac color palette. When you run xmandelbrot you can now pass it a number from 1-256 to tell it how many iterations (and thus how many colors) to use. Here it is running on my Quadra 700 under A/UX with a 68040 CPU. Code is here: https://github.com/vaelen/multi-mandlebrot/blob/main/unix/xmandelbrot.c #retrocomputing #unix #mandelbrot #mac #fractal
Una chiacchierata insieme a @lorenzodm, che ringrazio ancora per l'ospitalità e vi consiglio di seguire!
Saranno disponibili a breve gli snapshot pre-release di NetBSD 11
Questa sarà la prima release con supporto RISC-V, C23 e POSIX 2024.
Fish Shell question.
In Bash I can do "rm prefix[0-4]*.md", which means "remove all files that start with 'prefix', then have a digit in the 0-4 range, and end in '.md'". How can I do this in the Fish shell?
The docs (https://fishshell.com/docs/current/fish_for_bash_users.html#wildcards-globs and https://fishshell.com/docs/current/language.html#expand-wildcard) don't mention this type of path matching at all.
I'm using this shell shortcut a lot - you can use Alt+. to insert the last argument from your previous command into the command you're currently typing.
I added an X11 version of my mandelbrot program. This one is in color and is resizable! It runs on A/UX and will probably run on any version of UNIX that runs X11. I've attached screenshots from A/UX and modern Linux. You can find the code on github along with the console version: https://github.com/vaelen/multi-mandlebrot/tree/main/unix #retrocomputing #unix #mac #x11 #mandelbrot
Git conf for all repos in dir, typically overriding a few things like email and signing key:
[includeIf "gitdir:src/skybert/"]
path = src/skybert/my-little-friends/git/.gitconfig-skybert
I've been missing this middle layer conf, which sits neatly between my ~/.gitconfig and /path/to/repo/.git/config Once again, RTFM pays off 
`neofetch` developer discontinued the project and took up farming. i think that is beautiful and i think about it all the time.
CDE - Common Desktop Environment
Yes, it's still around! And it's been open for a decade!
radare2 6.0 is out! (codename "brainbow" 
)
A major release focused on stability and maintainability while bringing many new features under the hood. Breaking the ABI compatibility from the 5.9.x saga for to settle a new base for the upcoming versions. #reverseengineering #radare2 #unix #cli
We're moving our PDP-7 running UNICS version 0 into our new mainframe gallery space next week. Come see the original UNICS (UNIX) operating system running on real hardware where you can compile your own HELLORD! in the B programming language.
