Heyy thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us !!!
Very interesting and the write up is easy to follow up ! That’s the kind of cool blogpost we will be missing when the internet will be dead brained and flooded with AI shit…
Will you integrate an RSS feed to your blogposts? So I could get your feeds directly into my RSS feeder? 😁
It looks like there is one here:
Not my blog, just sharing it here. Saw it on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40419325)
There’s modern terminals?
I think we call them thin clients now.
Yeah, they’re mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.
After they’re connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly
Do you know what a terminal is?
Yeah. But the article describes terminal emulators.
hahaah. Ok sure you win. Linux TTY’s are absolutely not terminals. Sure they are called terminals, they are for all intents and purposes modern-day terminals with a long and storied history that directly links them to terminals from the 70’s but since they aren’t a physical piece of hardware that electro-mechanically connects to a mainframe, obviously they aren’t really terminals and they should be be called something else.
