🎂 Happy Birthday, Slackware!

On this day in 1993, Patrick Volkerding released Slackware 1.0, the oldest Linux distro still maintained!
Still simple, still solid, still Slackware.

I was getting kind of bored so I thought I'd ask.
Which shell do you use and why?

#Linux #Unix #Tech #Technology #FOSS

After seeing the video from the GaryH Tech channel (@garyhtech) I tried #NetBSD on real hardware for the first time too. The installation really was not as intuitive to me as #OpenBSD and #FreeBSD , especially I was trying to install the system to a separate partition alongside FreeBSD on the same disk. But hey I finally did it after some googling!

#BSD #RUNBSD #Unix #UseBSD #FOSS

I was just about to complain why #pkgin in #NetBSD about having long commands like install, search and list and no short form like install for #pkg in #FreeBSD and then pkgin without any argument slaps me in the face and say no you can just use in se ls for install search and list

Free Software hasn't won

Let's see if they'll donate to those open source projects though.

So, one of my resolutions this year was to write more code.
I love to break stuff, but last year I reignited my passion for coding and I would really love to contribute to the community that has given me so much and continues to do so.
And contributing works a lot better by creating, rather than breaking.

So I created a codeberg account. And I already have a first repo published!
I called it Axmar.
Axmar is a C# implementation of the SilentHarvest technique that was published last year.
It uses backup access and rarely used APIs to (mostly) stealthily read the local credentials database in Windows system.

Enjoy!

Mein "altes" Surface Pro 6 aus dem Jahr 2018 möchte ich gern mit Linux weiterbetreiben.

Das Linux-on-Surface-Projekt ist mir bereits bekannt.

Meine Frage:

Auf meinem ThinkPad läuft derzeit Linux Mint. Cinnamon finde ich aber nicht optimal auf Touchscreen-Bedienung ausgelegt. Welche Distro bzw. welcher Desktop ist in euren Augen gut für klassische Desktop-Arbeit *und* Touch geeignet?

Derzeit tendiere ich zu Ubuntu ...

How many people know that #WordPress was co-founded by a black man, Mike Little?

Or that he's from the north of England? A self-taught coder from #Stockport, just south of #Manchester? Or that he never received so much as a share, cent or job offer from the $7bn+ valued Automattic after spending five months working exclusively with Matt Mullenweg on the B2 fork?

After @bevangelist told me about @mikelittle I interviewed him for a documentary I never got round to making. Back then I was left with two certainties: he's Wozniak to Mullenweg's Jobs. Among other things he added the one-click upgrade that's been central to WP's bonkers 45%-of-the-web-success. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed, which is also bonkers given that he not only didn't share in WP's financial success, but that he's barely known.

But he should be - so, better late than never - please meet #MikeLittle, perhaps the most-influential-least-known person in #foss… https://25.netribution.co.uk/nic/mike-little-the-british-co-founder-of-wordpress-youve-probably-never-heard-of/
