Linux kernel 0.01 was released today! 27 years back!

In 1991 September 17, Linus Torvalds released the initial release of Linux Kernal 0.01. On 25 August 1991, Torvalds posted the following to comp.os.minix, a newsgroup on Usenet:

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since April, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months [...] Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

[...] It's mostly in C, but most people wouldn't call what I write C. It uses every conceivable feature of the 386 I could find, as it was also a project to teach me about the 386. As already mentioned, it uses a MMU, for both paging (not to disk yet) and segmentation. It's the segmentation that makes it REALLY 386 dependent (every task has a 64Mb segment for code & data - max 64 tasks in 4Gb. Anybody who needs more than 64Mb/task - tough cookies). [...] Some of my "C"-files (specifically mm.c) are almost as much assembler as C. [...] Unlike minix, I also happen to LIKE interrupts, so interrupts are handled without trying to hide the reason behind them.

Stallman's final interview as FSF president: Last week we quizzed him over Microsoft visit. Now he quits top roles amid rape remarks outcry

Some thoughts.

What a year. First the add-ons outage, now this.

I was going to be disgusted. After reading some more, I don't know what to think.

Free Software now encompasses the whole political spectrum, and the FSF is inherently a political organization, FSF advocating governments use free software, him advocating Wikipedia use the GFDL, using his rhetoric like 'Tivoization'. Frankly, the line between the FSF and Stallman is blurry. Ripping him out may have made things worse.

And its unfortunate, because I care about the FSF's (consumer?) advocacy. Let's call it 'right to install.' Right to install allows me to install any free OS on my PC. The custom ROM and router community would cease to exist without advocacy from both. And now, with this association, companies might be more reluctant to open up.

Other unintended consequences of a messy exit would be condemning him to Xenophobes and confirming their beliefs. (Let's hope I'm wrong.)

I think the takeaway is that the FSF should set clearer boundaries next time. I also agree that new president be found, seeing as he will eventually be really gone, and we might as well get it done.

As for Stallman himself, he must put out a statement detailing everything he knows, removing any doubt whatsoever. Do more research if necessary. Acknowledge that some may not want to read it, and update everyone on the progress of it. Publish it everywhere. This must be cleared up before anyone can feel safe advocating for free software again.

(I can't believe we've had to deal with [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_response_to_the_Wikimedia_Foundation's_ban_of_Fram) again... IN LESS THAN A YEAR.)

Are you afraid of the Cloud, Automation, Iac as a System Admin ?

**1)** Are you afraid of the Cloud, Automation, Iac as a System Admin ?

**2)** Some industry research have shown that most company have a hard time doing/implementing Iac the right way and it's better to go Cloud native... Do you agree with this ?

**3)** Sometimes do you feel like going back to programming full time ?

Chown easter egg

Yesterday I came across a chown command that uses a period to separate the user and group field is.

chown user.group {file|dir}

Interestingly OSX mention period syntax in the compatibility section of the manpage. The manpage mentions previos versions "of this system" did support ownership of symbolic links. RHEL8 manpage does not mention it but the functionality does work.

Anyway. I thought that was a neat bit of functionality that may proceed most of our careers
