So, when I aim for portable C code that works on all *nixes, is the "Single Unix Specification" now the authorative reference, instead of just POSIX?

I think I missed that train. Advice from experienced devs appreciated.

Want to run the same command again? In many shells (e.g., tcsh, zsh, bash) you can type "!!" to recall last command and run it. Example:

apt install nginx # missed sudo
sudo !! # this will run sudo apt install nginx

Any good cli/terminal spell checking programmes? Pass in a file, get an terminal interactive “replace this with that / ignore / add to dict.” workflow.

I remember using aspell(1) back in Ye Olden Days. Is that still the best?

Are Ksh scripts still used in production environments? Or has Bash become the dominant scripting choice nowadays?

This aged well.. found from random Googling:

Did SCO really indemnify their users ... ?

"20. Indemnification: As SCO owns Unix, hence indemnifies all SCO Unix users unlike Linux offered by most of the popular Linux trading houses." 😬

Recently got a cheap 128 GB SSD to see how BSD would run on my main machine, and this weekend threw FreeBSD on it. I'm sending this toot from the working system, and aside from the general configuration joy of being an Unix nerd, finding almost everything I need to know in the FreeBSD Handbook is a great perk on the second joy: reading docs and being able to flow acting on them.
