Small but mighty news for UNIX fans:
GNU ed 1.22 is out! Now you can filter specific line ranges through shell commands directly in ed, ex(1)-style:

1,10!sort
Just like in ex or sed, this filters addressed lines through your favorite shell tools a great upgrade for scripting and editing workflows.

Even better: Today’s batch of Slackware -current updates already includes ed 1.22. If you’re running -current and up to date, you already have the new version!

As a Debian user for three years, and Linux for 5 years, I find it hilarious that I know more about Windows than my friends who actually use Windows as their main OS.

At this point, I feel like their go-to tech support, except I’m the only one who gets confused when I see a Windows license key that actually works!

Debian in 2025 is really relaxing. When I think back with horror to how I struggled with Debian in 1999 after switching from the well-functioning Red Hat Linux to Debian to get all my hardware to work halfway, and how easily everything works out of the box today without much fiddling, even with Debian Stable - a remarkable advance. 😎

If I had known this earlier, I would have long since returned to the quasi “mother” of all major distributions. But as we all know, man is a creature of habit. 🏖️

I was actually referring to my ongoing situation here. A site went down for ßome time but I didn't notice it. And by the time I setup Uptime Kuma & ntfy, it came to my attention but slightly too late.

Being one of those popular PHP services, I thought we were hacked.

The log would show several attempts to access various folders by hackers. And I could not visit the index page. Other pages would show gibberish contents.

Past lessons had proved the need to have ZFS snapshots on the host and remote locations. Rolling back snapshots restored the site. Notwithstanding, there were still some awkwardness in the service. I have learnt over time that Unix, FreeBSD in this case, has one and only different approach to running a service.

One of such awkwardness is that the site becomes inaccessible - CDN throwa error - as soon as the config file of the web service changes without reloading the server. I checked online if nginx automatically applies changes despite being sure that it does not.

In summary, ZFS rollback saved the team you mentioned like it did for us. Another lesson learnt is to set up a crom job to automatically upgrade the service/app DB without interaction should it's version be unconsciously upgraded.

#macOS oder #Linux:

Welches #System ist die richtige Wahl für Dich?

#Linux und #macOS sind beide ziemlich beliebte und sichere #Betriebssysteme. Für manche ist der Unterschied gar nicht so sichtbar. Manchmal werden #Unix und #Linux als nahe Artverwandte doch wie Äpfel und Birnen verglichen. Doch sie haben deutliche Unterschiede, die sie für verschiedene Nutzer attraktiv machen.
