The lost tape of UNIX V4 was found, I gave it a spin and was amazed how fast you feel familiar using it.

    Vi is unintuitive and annoying to me. Others can use whatever they want but I can’t stand people who tell others they’re wrong for not preferring vi.

    I use micro in my console, or rather terminal. Why wouldn’t it work over telnet when it works via SSH?

      Totally fair, I only learned because I was forced to.

      Serial consoles feed back information one line at a time, so no curses interfaces. No arrow keys, just hjkl. Anything that needs to count characters and columns (like position-based cursor editors like nano) won’t work over telnet.

      A serial console and a terminal aren’t the same thing.

      If you like micro, use micro. I don’t care.
