lot to love about #netbsd and missing surprisingly little.

@hipsterelectron gnu versions are in pkgsrc and i ended up with many unix aliases already, even
alias make=gmake
alias sed=gsed
alias awk=gawkfirst is obvious of no fault of bsd, the second two i don't remember why any more (does bsd awk have gsub()??). i'm sure bsd versions are okay, blaming this on years on gnu
@lkundrak you can also build them to use that g binary prefix

@lkundrak blaming gnu always a good strategy although i'm kind of a gnu apologist

@lkundrak otherwise autoconf was for nothing
@hipsterelectron it's making things portable*
*to osf/1 on alpha, not a perfectly fine future risc plaform with a perfectly standard modern c compiler

@hipsterelectron sorry to hear, hope you get better

lot to love about #netbsd and missing surprisingly little. real annoying things:
find requires a path. "find ." instead of "find", i'm getting it wrong every time.
no "sort -h". how do people sort "du -sh" output? are they content with seeing their file is 173666 blocks big?
anybody knows if patches for these would've been accepted or if they'd be shunned off as gnu-isms?
@lkundrak Haha I come from the BSD, and TIL that you can omit the path in gnu find xD.

@mathieu omg do not get used to it, it's a trap!!

@mathieu it's how gnu vendor locks you

@lkundrak funniest joke i've ever made in my entire life

@mathieu it's how gnu vendor locks you
@mathieu do you know research shows that if you learn to ride a reverse bike, your ability to steer a normal bike will get measurably slower
that is how using gnu impairs everybody's ability to use a normal computer

@ozzelot oh hail the world of init system neglect

@lkundrak I didn’t know “sort -h” was a thing! I always use “du -sk”
