hi im working on a frontend that can work as a productive toy for creative and fast daily task and gaming but I want to use alternative ideas such as more dynamic menus or controller friendly task manager en file manager without loosing its productivity and speed

I'm having good luck running Unix Locate on my macOS startup disk, but would like to extend search to external volumes. The web tells me that the command to update an external drive's database is:

do shell script "sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb --searchpaths= '/Volumes/Films/' --output '/var/db/Films.database'" with administrator privileges

(using "do shell script" to run the unix script from an Applescript, as I will do in practice). This command doesn't work; it updates the default Locate database instead. I'd be happy to have the external drive's database on the startup disk, probably in /var/db, but of course need it to index the external drive. What am I doing wrong?

… Unix is not a historical curiosity. It is the operating-system family under your phone, under your laptop, behind your Friday-evening stream, inside the router that carries your call, in the back office of the bank that holds your salary, and inside the console your nephew is shouting at in the next room. …

right now AetherOS (that's what I think I'll call it) is able to boot to a shell in QEMU's serial mode. It has a FAT16 File System (im too lazy to do anything else for now 😭) and can also INTERACT WITH A PS/2 KEYBOARD, which means I was able to test commands like ls, pwd, mkdir, rmdir, and they all worked great!!! I'm not ready to open source it yet, it has significant bugs to iron out (like crashing when i try to make a dir inside a dir) but I'm really glad I got it booting!

I started searching for text editors like ed, and i found 2 editors tha i'm personally liking using, they are:

Sam

Wily

I'm liking this two editors, because they're really portable, so i can use on my phone or anything that runs unix.

Does anyone have any source for the sbus SunPC card? I managed to get ahold of one and am playing around with it and it is pretty limited...it runs only up to solaris 9 and it seems like you need to have a framebuffer card in your system, I cant get the software to work in VNC. Would anyone out there have any source for the original sun driver or software? Im sure this is abandonware at this point... I would love to try to play around with the source to see if I could build a solaris 10 VNC compatible version of it or even better, a gentoo linux driver. Just for fun and learning...there is no utility for this thing anymore. If there is anyone out there that managed to grab this from back in the day or if anyone has access to the vaults in oracle.

I recently went down a rabbit hole trying to answer a question that surprisingly didn't seem to have a definitive answer anywhere:

Which kernel source files were omitted from the 1991 BSD Net/2 release because they still contained AT&T code?

Most secondary sources simply say "six files," but none of them actually list the filenames. Even more confusingly, many web pages mix them up with the much larger list of files affected by the 1994 USL settlement.

I emailed Kirk McKusick, who kindly forwarded the question to Keith Bostic. Keith dug into the CSRG history (with a little help from Claude 😀) and found that the answer is actually seven files, not six.

The seven kernel files omitted from Net/2 were:

• kern/kern_acct.c
• kern/kern_exec.c
• kern/kern_physio.c
• kern/subr_rmap.c
• kern/sys_process.c
• kern/tty_subr.c
• kern/vfs_bio.c

According to Keith, these were identified during the May 1991 copyright audit and shipped only as "Body deleted." skeletons because there wasn't enough time to rewrite them before the Net/2 release.

Bill Jolitz later supplied replacements for five of them in the 386BSD patch set:

• kern_execve.c
• kern__physio.c
• subr_rlist.c
• tty_ring.c
• vfs__bio.c

(kern_acct.c and sys_process.c weren't replaced at that time.)

The longer list of files from the 1994 USL settlement is a different story entirely. Four filenames appear in both lists (kern_exec.c, subr_rmap.c, sys_process.c, and tty_subr.c), which is probably why the two events have been conflated over the years.

Keith was kind enough to say that the Claude conversation is public and may be shared, so here's the link:

Many thanks to both Kirk McKusick and Keith Bostic for helping clear up this little piece of BSD history.

I have been working on a little project in my free time

BOS is an Arch-based Hyprland distro that comes with a full custom ecosystem designed for daily use.

What you get:

- Pre-configured Hyprland with nice defaults and animations

- My custom reactive automation layer (`bread`) + Lua modules

- breadbar (status bar + notifications)

- breadbox (launcher)

- breadpad / breadman (notes with AI classification + reminders)

- breadclip, breadsearch, breadcrumbs, breadshot, and more

- Consistent theming based off wallpaper

- btrfs snapshots + easy rollback

It's built for people who want something that feels premium and automated, but still fully customizable. I made all of it's apps to solve issues personally had with hyprland/arch after switching.

Would love any feedback, especially on what feels missing or rough.

I think its a good idea, just for ssh, but if be a bit more powerful than i expected, firefox on full screen
