    Looking at shells for interactive use as I've been using Bash since the beginning. I did look at default sh but it's history is a tad clunky. Yesterday I was introduced to oksh a public domain Korn shell via a blog by @rubenerd@bsd.network and it does look interesting. I'd obviously continue writing my scripts to be posix compliant and running with sh but for interactive use this might be more me ?
    Only one way to find out and that's to read up and try it I suppose. Feel free to chime in if you use oksh AKA korn shell.

      Happy birthday bash!

      This screenshot shows the bash shell source code being downloaded using the wget command. The grep command then displays its birthday, which is January 10th, 1988. Bash was originally created by Brian Fox.

        Now installing GhostBSD. FreeBSD with a desktop.

        Pretty cool. I'm interested.

        I also might try an Indie Archive install with FreeBSD and no desktop. Midnight Commander to the rescue.

        I'm curious if FreeBSD will require the coreutils install to get gnu cp (gcp).

            there's a lot of fun tinkering that went into syncing my vimwiki files between my computers. firstly, i use wsl2 on my laptop, and after extensive failures, i concluded that port forwarding is not possible. then i settled on installing syncthing on windows to sync the vimwiki folder, which also failed. now i have a cron job to copy files every day at 8 pm to my windows drive, which syncs to my pop os computer.

                      @amoroso my staff and I have been wrestling with the development model here: what IF a minimal OS was groomed or altered to be a specific program. What if it stayed up and didnโ€™t have volatile state wiped? How does โ€œthe OS is the program exceed/falter versus the web or osx/win64 model. The mental models arenโ€™t clearโ€”but hints were found in the haters handbook where those who had mourn what they lost when they were forced to Unix

                        So I'ts been 4 months since switching from to on my homelab and just 1 month since switching my daily driver to FreeBSD. Do I regret my decision ?
                        Absolutely not a jot! I'm loving running BSD aka and I know it's not legally Unix but technically it is and I'm happy with that. I love the documentation, The community spirit, and everything about it. Yes there are issues with WiFi cards and so on but that doesn't phase me. Linux was just the same back in the 90's. Slow and steady wins the race. ๐Ÿ˜‰
                        I really don't know why I didn't jump sooner ? :beastie: :runbsd:
