hydroptic ( @hydroptic@sopuli.xyz ) 8•19 days agoHuh, I never actually gave any thought to how the SysRq key works. Interesting thing to learn after all these decades, heh

Unix internals is a great book! If you haven’t had an occasion to read it, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Similar to design of the BSD operating system, it goes into the internal data structures, but most importantly the rationale
hydroptic ( @hydroptic@sopuli.xyz ) 3•19 days agoI actually don’t know nearly enough about OS design, and I’ve been toying with the idea of learning more for like 20 years now but never manage to get around to it. How’s that book hold up, considering it was (apparently?) published in '96? I’d assume a lot of the basics are still the same, and since it’s a book about the “evolution” of UNIX the historical parts will still be interesting in any case
jet ( @jet@hackertalks.com ) English4•19 days agoThe design of the BSD operating system is more narrative friendly, easier to read just for fun
Unix internals keeps getting updates, but is far more technically applied. And probably easier to become outdated.
From a philosophy perspective both books are great but if you could only read one I would recommend the BSD book. I know the Linux kernel and the BSD kernel have divergent development, but as far as posix structures are concerned they’re pretty similar
hydroptic ( @hydroptic@sopuli.xyz ) 2•19 days agoThe BSD book does seem interesting from a historical perspective, BSD is one of Ye Olden UN*X distros after all. Thanks for the recommendations! I think I’ll try to get my hands on a dead trees version of the BSD book.
Oh and did you specifically mean “The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System”? Looks like there’s one for FreeBSD as well
jet ( @jet@hackertalks.com ) English3•19 days agoYes that’s the book, though I read a older version initially.
I haven’t read the free BSD version, I wonder if there’s a Linux version? That would be interesting too

I’ll set aside a whole day for you to talk about me not liking Linus tech tips if you like.
Let’s dive deep!

What happened? You don’t want to talk endlessly anymore ?
jet ( @jet@hackertalks.com ) English8•19 days agoI love abusing sigusr1 and 2. Absolutely no confusion or shooting myself in the foot in 3 months when I forget what I did… No sir

What happened? You don’t want to talk anymore? I thought you wanted to endlessly engage.
Admiral Patrick ( @ptz@dubvee.org ) English9•19 days agoDude(ette): You’re following them around and bordering on harassment. Chill.
- Juno ( @Juno@beehaw.org ) 1•19 days ago
Let’s talk about how I don’t like Linus tech tips again. I know your can’t wrap your mind around me having my own opinion and posting one sentence about it
THIS IS MUCH BETTER
ahto ( @ahto@discuss.tchncs.de ) 6•19 days agoYeah you’re really showing them how you have the moral high ground by following them to other posts and harassing them there… ???
- Juno ( @Juno@beehaw.org ) 1•19 days ago
Who said I wanted moral high ground anymore? 🤔
hydroptic ( @hydroptic@sopuli.xyz ) 5•19 days agoYou’re behaving like an unhinged stalker, though.
We all get it, you have an axe to grind with jet, but like maybe keep it to private messages then? What’s the point with following them around and spewing this stuff on completely unrelated communities?
- Juno ( @Juno@beehaw.org ) 1•19 days ago
He gave me a long bit of the opposite of what I asked for. I owe him the same attention.
ahto ( @ahto@discuss.tchncs.de ) 2•19 days agoYou were talking about them not being able to comprehend the fact that you have your own opinion, so that was my guess.
