    > it supports my keystrokes

    You know that there is basically a standard set, imposed by Windows in about 1986 or something and also supported in GNOME 2, MATE, Xfce, LXDE, etc etc.? I am more interested in if it supports them. I mean, I don't know what your set are, and I am not for a moment saying there's anything wrong with them, but there are standards for this stuff, used heavily by millions of blind computer users for example.

    > Have you considered the possibility you are so set in your ways that you are neglecting new and useful tool?

    Could be. I am a professional assessor of, and commentator on, this stuff, though.

    I mainly use a desktop I switched to in 2011. :-) Before that, I changed in 2004, after a change in 2001, after a change in 1995, after a change in 1992, after one in 1989, etc. etc.

    I mean I am an old pharte, fair call, but I am a reasonably adaptable one, I think. :-D

    What is "fzy"?

    ...?

    > Then make the panel vertical instead of horizontal

    Why don't any of the screenshots show that, then?

    I see 6 horizontal panels in the screenies on the homepage and Github, and one with none. From that, I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude this is not a core feature or something.

    Sure. Historical Unix is available here, though you'll need a PDP-11 or an emulator to run it. Most of the issues around the original Unix code base were resolved in this suit.

    WordPerfect is a thing, still, and while its way more powerful, some would consider to be pretty clunky in terms of usability.

  • RHash

    Great utility for computing hash sums

    Project mention: How do you protect yourself from failing drives and data corruption? | /r/DataHoarder | 2023-04-23

    Calculate their digests with rhash or similar utilities (but not too frequently, or you'll beat up your hard drives! once a month is plenty).

  • ast

    AST - AT&T Software Technology

    Project mention: A Generation Lost in the Bazaar (2012) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-19

    I suspect the intended point of comparison is the monolithic Unix of old, where the entirety of the code of the system is (hopefully, ostensibly, allegedly) developed with a single vision, except for the applications in the narrowest sense of the word (e.g. the particular piece of numerics you need to design your airplane or whatnot, but not the editor you used to write it, the cluster scheduler you used to run it, the typesetter you used to write down your results, or the 3D viewer you used to present them).

    One example that’s just plain interesting to read to see what things people were exploring (because, let’s admit it, historical Unix source gets plain boring after a while) is AT&T Research’s https://github.com/att/ast.

  • DragonFlyBSD

    DragonFly BSD System Source Repository (read-only mirror)

    Project mention: FreeBSD at 30 years: Its secrets to success | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-05

    Love FreeBSD but ...

    Really wish there wasn't a split between FreeBSD & Matt Dillon 18-years ago (DragonflyBSD), since DragonflyBSD is so strong and yet FreeBSD hasn't benefited from it's innovations.

  • ponyos

    My Little Unix: Kernels are Magic!

  • proftpd

    ProFTPD source code

  • Melang

    A script language of time-sharing scheduling coroutine in single thread

    Project mention: User space dynamic tracing and feedback control | dev.to | 2023-02-03

    In order to simplify the demonstration code, the above example does not show network communication and data storage at the script layer, but all these functions are supported by Melang scripts. Interested readers can refer to Melang official website.
