No disrespect to Linus Torvalds, but this guy is the greatest geek alive 🫡. Created UNIX in 1971 when he was 28 years old. Created Go in 2009 when he was 66 years old😲. He also developed the B programming language (which led to C), created UTF-8 encoding (making international

Let's show something unusual again. 🤭.💾Adding a second 64-bit HP PA-RISC CPU to a computer from 2001💾.I have multiple old 650MHz PA-RISC 2U #UNIX servers and I found that they are dual-socket with 1 CPU installed. Why not make a machine with 2 CPUs and a lot of memory?🧵1/6

Here is another cool one:. Prompt share: Old UNIX “top” process list whose CPU graphs shape a scrolling side-view of [object, building, logo]

Everyone's a comedian. Even on old UNIX.

Stress-testing 211BSD UNIX on my PDP-11/83. doing a full kerrnel compile, disk copy, and prime sieves at the same time. Even 'top' is a load on a machine this old!

Example: Old UNIX “top” process list whose CPU graphs shape a scrolling side-view of the Pyramid of Giza

Prompt: Old UNIX “top” process list whose CPU graphs shape a scrolling side-view of a Persian cat

@caesararum @SwiftOnSecurity The old unix wizard poster is 100% acurate

You never stop learning something new (which is actually old) on Unix/Linux. TIL: The "type" command. "which" does not look at aliases; "type" does. Which (pun intended) makes it a better command to use than "which" more often than not!

Been working on #Unix #Linux 🐧since 1984 and the terminal never gets old!🤪

🐈‍⬛ Tired of plain old cat command (`cat filename`)? Want beautiful syntax highlighting and Git integration in your terminal? Try `bat filename` on your #Linux, #macOS, or #Unix system! You'll wonder how you ever lived without it. See for more info.

At what age should old people be forced to wear diapers?

Every time I compile something on old unix systems I remember the pain. Here is VICE x64 Commodore 64 emulator running on tru64 5.1B on a 466MHz DS10.

I have a nice Sieve Benchmark for integer math comparison of old computers (running on 8bit Atari, AmigaOS, WinCE, UNIX, DOS, RISC OS. ) but I wanted also something to compare my Itanium, PA-RISC, Alpha AXP workstations in floating-point focused tasks. What about fractals?😅

got my dad an early christmas gift. i’ve always believed that if i’m to give an old person a piece of technology that connects to the internet, it’s gotta be an apple product. like a layer 2 block chain, a mac inherits the security of the underlying unix-based operating system

So you think you are a nerd?.Meet Ken Thompson. 👉Created UNIX in 1971 when he was 28 years old. 👉Created Go in 2009 when he was 66 years old. 👉Developed the B programming language (which led to C). 👉Created UTF-8 encoding (making international text possible online).

Hey kids, an old man is going to tell a story about a big hard drive on UNIX! Gather 'round!.I'm stoked because I just booted a PDP-11 off a big DEC RA73 drive running a custom-built 211BSD UNIX kernel and operating system!.This has been the year of the PDP-11 here in Dave's

did you know that severence is filmed in the old bell labs building in new jersey?. a list of bell labs innovations:. > laser.> transistor.> solar cells.> information theory.> unix operating system.> digital signal processing.> c programming language.> fiber optic communications

One Apple product worth buying and you can't go back to old unix or windows machine.
