Non-recurring Events in calendar(1)

Hi all, I've just discovered calendar(1) and am thinking about using it as an upgrade to my plain text ToDo list. The tool seems nice and simple, but I don't understand how non-recurring events can be represented in it. I see that I can define events that occur every week, every month or every year

Sleep induces acpi0 interrupt storm

Hi all, I've just set up a new T480 ThinkPad with OpenBSD 7.4. I have noticed that after sleeping (by closing and opening the lid of the laptop) my fan turns up and one of my CPU cores is fully loaded. `top -U -S root` and `systat vmstat` tell me, that acpi0 is generating a lot of interrupts, close

less prints superfluous characters with --no-init

Hi all, I find this behaviour unexpected: $ printf foo | less --no-init | xxd : 666f 6f1b 5b41 1b5b 4b foo.[A.[K less prints ANSI escape codes for 'cursor up' and 'erase in line' at the end of my message. Interestingly, when doing the same within tmux, the result is diff

Re: less --no-init and multiline $PS1

olution which doesn't violate any layers and came up with something much simpler: I will replace my less with a script similar to this: /usr/bin/less $@ for arg in "$@"; do test "$arg" = '--no-init' -o "$arg" = '-X' && tput up el && exit done Thanks for making me re-think the problem! Best regards, Richard Ulmer

less --no-init and multiline $PS1

Hi, when using a $PS1, which has more than one line, `less --no-init` cuts of some lines at the top, when it quits. This is especially annyoing when using `git diff` and `git show`. For example, `echo "foo\nbar" | less --no-init --quit-if-one-screen` with a two-line $PS1 leads to terminal content l
