@skatem @paco Can I be the little tooltip at the top right that says "Hide"

@paco the Mob goons standing over him as he did....

@paco @diazona one of them should be holding a sign that says “mother”

@paco It's like the old school version of cameo!

(I had to look up what the service was called, I knew it existed, but couldn't remember the name)

@diazona @skatem @paco I'm the guy on the left's missing top button which he probably would have replaced with a cool glowing mummy ball if anyone had been nice enough to give him a mummy ball

@paco
Have you checked Temu or Shein?

@paco Back in the days the fuel gauge was placed either to the left or to the right (switching place with the temperature gauge), depending on which side the fuel filler was. The little arrow did away with this practice, but instead manufacturing had two types of fuel gauges to deal with.

@paco I knew that moment would be popular, I mean....what the hell?!

@paco Man. I was really hoping BALLS would be bigger.

@RobynGoodfellow I think orb and crystal diluted balls.

Abandon thy Linux overlords

@h3artbl33d
?? Tell a guy who wrote a book on BSD 20 years ago to abandon Linux? I’ve been using FreeBSD longer than a lot of people have been using computers.

Not trying to turn it into a dick-sizing contest, but I genuinely don’t get the point of that terse message.

@paco

Sorry - I didn't mean any harm or offense. Merely joking for a bit - but I should have done better. Be better.

Sincere apologies while I read up on your book.

@h3artbl33d no worries. It’s one of those times where the message was so short and we don’t know each other, so the tone didn’t come through. I can see the joke now.

And the book is 20 years old. Just as FreeBSD 5 was coming out. there isn’t much to learn there. Don’t waste your money or time.

All I meant about the breath of fresh air is that I’ve been doing disk partitioning the hard way on FreeBSD so long (even sometimes using sysinstall to avoid the CLI tools) that this was super easy and nice.

@paco

Well, I do take interest into matters that happened while I wasn't aware of the world around me.

Inching close to the fourties - when I listen to folks like McKusick talk about the early days I really wish I'd be born a decade earlier.

If your book is 20 years old I am incredibly grateful to your legacy and contribution. Really.

A bit of context can be found at my blog.

I really feel humble to be standing on the shoulders of giants like yourself. Really - thank you.
