A History of the BSD Daemon by Marshall Kirk McKusick

This talk tells the history of the BSD Daemon. It starts with the first renditions in the 1970s of the daemons that help UNIX systems provide services to users. These early daemons were the inspiration for the well-known daemon created by John Lasseter in the early 1980s that became synonymous with BSD as they adorned the covers of the first three editions of `The Design and Implementation of the BSD Operating System' textbooks. The talk will also highlight many of the shirt designs that featured the BSD Daemon.

I’ve created a very customized LaTeX document which contains portions of machine translated text. I will ask a native speaker to make the text proper. I’m not sure who will take on the task yet, but it’s unlikely to be someone who understands LaTeX. My large preamble would add to the intimidation.

I think overleaf would have normally been ideal. But it became restricted access and hostile toward Tor users a few years ago. I cancel oppressive platforms like that.

One idea is to host it on some arbitary gitea server. They can probably edit the text directly in the web browser of they are a low-tech user. Or if tech-proficient they can use git as it was designed. Doesn’t matter if they butcher the code.. I’ll deal with the cleanup. I guess my main concern is that they would be so alienated by the code that it would put them off this volunteer effort.

Pandoc was one thought: pandoc -o paper.md -f latex -t markdown paper.tex, in which case they would work in a less alien situation. But pandoc can’t even handle my 2-column doc. It falls over on a tabular and produces nothing. But even if it could produce results, I’d expect disaster anyway.

Probably no great answers here.

Music from the arcade game Valkyrie no Densetsu, composed by Hiroyuki Kawada. This game was developed and published by Namco, and utilizes both a Yamaha YM2151 FM chip and a Namco C140 PCM chip.

This was played using the development version of Benben v0.7.0, a high-performance open-source music player written in Common Lisp. You can find out more information about Benben here: https://chiselapp.com/user/MistressRemilia/repository/benben/

Bonus video of bun fleeing the scene.

can’t say i remember much from using winME. maybe i blocked it out, haha.

I built these bleachers from recycled pallets. I use them for container gardening (tomatoes and eggplants this year).

Today was very hot (30C) and this bun was laying down back there when I got back from work. I set out a tray of fresh water just in case bun’s feeling a bit dehydrated.
