    Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers

    No. The FreeBSD Foundation is affected by the same unfortunate government decisions. OpenBSD could still be an option.

    Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers

    It totally should have real consequences.

    2024: The year of desktop FreeBSD?

    I'm afraid I already know the answer, but please enlighten me: How do you think a CPU works if not with an ‘entire operating system’?

    Learning to use the ex/vi editor and writing a novel with it

    Note that groff, being a typical GNU utility, comes with a decent number of dependencies. It still fits a floppy disk AFAIR.

    Learning to use the ex/vi editor and writing a novel with it

    What version control do you use for your dotfiles? Or do you not use one at all?

    Basically, that's similar to how vc-mode (yes, that's the built-in one - it also supports Git AFAIK) works, except that it's even easier: C-x v v performs the "most logical" next action, so all it takes to push a new change (which was just saved) to Fossil, SCCS, Git and whatever :) is pressing...
