ed(1) conference @ed1conf@bsd.network

@saper No #EuroBSDCon for me this year.

#edmastery is distributed globally through Ingram's so any bookstore can order print for you. Even your corner mom & pop place. That's why I bought my own ISBNs, to enable exactly this.

@mwlucas got it:

> ed jabberwocky
963

No trailing spaces, unicode converted to ` " --

Two spaces before every second verse.

I don't even know why am I doing this

Just bought #EdMastery by @mwlucas as ebook only because I cannot currently buy a hardcopy direct from the author

"For a random user, there’s no shame in being unable to use ed. I’m not qualified to become a Navy SEAL. I’m not even qualified to become the kind of seal that lies on a beach and barks. That’s okay. The world is full of computers. If you cannot handle the undiluted glory that is ed, use one of those friendly pointy-clicky systems."

#EdMastery

Learning about #Unix is a joy anyways, but sprinkle some Michael Lucas banter in there and you know you're in for a good time

@mwlucas lol uh oh fellow #FreeBSD'ers... sick footnoote burn :)

"This book won’t cover OS-
specific extensions, such as Linux’s x and y commands and FreeBSD’s encryption support."

2 Why add encryption to ed? That’s what crypt(1) is for.

oed - portable ed(1) from OpenBSD.

Thanks to @bcallah for taking on this vital program. #sysadmin

Was telling the coworker (in another department) who actually is old-school enough to know ed(1) about ed Mastery by @mwlucas. At one point I looked at his bookshelf and said "Oh, you have one of his books already." He had the 1st edition of SSH Mastery. I let him know there was a new edition out. 😃

Gave @mwlucas and Ed Maste a shameless plug during this three-day pentest training at work, talking about the origin of the name of the grep command along with Michael's new Ed Mastery book.

Found a roll of receipt paper while cleaning and could finally run a ~real~ ed(1) session // @_xhr_

@ed1conf I see no contradiction. It is not like ed became less useful in a graphical world.

It's eight hundred miles to Ottawa. We've got half a tank of gas, one pair of clean undies, a crate of Coke Zero, and eight hundred copies of "Ed Mastery."

Hit it.
