Mac SE/30’s nine-inch screen is ideal for font-wrangling, says dev, 16Mhz 68030 not so much
Wow, back in the days I used Fontographer too, at a client that also used Ikarus, but on even older Mac hardware. But that was early 1990s (:

Grappig om in een stukje achtergrond te duiken.
Mijn broer woonde vroeger aan de Johan Dixstraat 18. Dat is vlak bij de Nicolaas Damesstraat. Ik werkte voor een klant genaamd Nico Dames. De combinatie wekte mijn interesse.
De buurt rondom die straat is allemaal rondom Kwekers, dus je ziet straten als:
Dan een paar linkjes:

Since ESXi is based on busybox, it is using ash a variation of sh (the classic bourne shell) called Almquist shell and most nxes use some form of bash a lot of things won’t work.
For instance, doesn’t support sh –version.
Luckily there are uname -mrs and (more elaborate) vmware -vl to get the version.
Note there is support busybox aliases so alias dir=”ls -laF” works, and you can define aliases for the version information too.

I never had the box, but someone is selling the [Wayback] 10+ kg Borland C++ 3.0 box:

Edit 2022-02-04: the above went away because of link rot, so I replaced it with an Archive.is version as it was copied at [Wayback/Archive.is] My First Windows C++ Application in Ages: Hello World in Win32 with Visual C++ 2010 – Pete Brown’s 10rem.net.
I did a bit of digging ([Wayback/Archive.is] borland c++ box – Google Search) and found [Wayback/Archive.is] Version information for older Borland/Inprise C Compilers has all the product box photos of these products:
Borland C++ 3.1 through 4.5 shipped in huge boxes, each even larger than the before it.
The box with the 1994 Borland C++ 4.5 and Database Tools supported DOS, Windows, and Win32. It had either a CD or 28 3.5″ HD diskettes.

The last version with 5.25″ diskettes was the 1991 Borland C++ 3.1: 15-5.25″ 1.2 Meg. Diskettes or 15 3.5″ 1.44MB disks.

Reminder: install mosh and get it working when it runs behind a firewall.
Mobile shell that supports roaming and intelligent local echo. Like SSH secure shell, but allows mobility and more responsive and robust.
Links:
Then see how well it stacks up against or complements with the ssh/tmux combo.

Last friday I updated the examples at *nix networking – lsof: How to tell what process has a specific port open on Linux (via: Server Fault) as I needed to document some of the machines around here (so it becomes easier replacing them).
I also added some links to background information and (when I get to using it: OS X still goes without) a good iproute2 starter page.
