Calling all oldheads who worked with UUCP. I was flipping through an old O'Reilly book of mine and found this. Being younger, I never used UUCP, so forgive me if I understand poorly, but basically UUNET, as an ISP, had publicly accessible UUCP servers that they treated like FTP, correct?

That's cool and all, but what I wanna know is if there's any more such services available these days. I'm fascinated by UUCP and need an excuse to try it.

A page screenshot from O'Reilly Media's "Learning the Korn Shell" by Bill Rosenblatt. The page shows a command example of how you would've acquired a copy of the Korn Shell over UUCP via the old internet service provider UUNET (long since defunct, ergo the command is useless today, since UUNET no longer exists and this book was published in 1993). Around the command, I have edited a red oval to highlight and draw more attention to it (the YouTuber method) in GIMP.

Who knew ? I'm actually managing surprisingly well using vi mode in my Korn shell and it's starting to stick in the old grey cells too. I am quite impressed with myself. 😄
Only one issue and that's to stay away from the arrow keys. Hmmm what are they for now. 🤣
#FreeBSD #OKSH #KornShell

Well I'm still daily driving #KornShell aka oksh after getting 20 plus years used to bash and I'm really liking using it. I can honestly say it's a work in progress but I'm learning as I go along and loving it. This feels unixy to me. #RunBSD #FreeBSD

#oksh 7.5 has been released: https://github.com/ibara/oksh/releases/tag/oksh-7.5

#OpenBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #DragonFlyBSD #Linux #Unix #Solaris #Illumos #Shell #KornShell #ksh

A wild #blog post appears!

I do some benchmarking of #oksh with nine C compilers on #OpenBSD. Nothing conclusive is discovered, but it is nonetheless a very fun journey.

Started writing PKCS#1 1.5 RSA padding function in #KornShell

definitely time to sleep

Why I enjoy reading old #kornshell C code? It is like getting into the minds of programmers who are happy to write C instead of the assembly.

Now it's written by programmers who'd rather write functional

Apagar automàticament l'ordinador a OpenBSD quan tinga menys de 3% de bateria http://joancatala.net/node/1429 #OpenBSD #KornShell #Battery

"\n%{\n"+ !notice

In C this means, "do not start the string with a newline if notice is false"

Had to turn my head a bit to get it

Porting ksh93 release from the year 2014

#freshmeat #kornshell #shell #ksh

@lattera yeah and broke my #kornshell

And now on to debug issues with #iffe utility, a very interesting alternative to #autoconf
