Ronn-NG is a new, currently-maintained fork of the defunct original Ronn project.

Ronn builds manuals. It converts simple, human readable textfiles to roff for terminal display, and also to HTML for the web.

The source format includes all of Markdown but has a more rigid structure and syntax extensions for features commonly found in manpages (definition lists, link notation, etc.). The ronn-format(7) man page defines the format in detail.

An organization aiming to make simple, minimal software. They are behind stuff like dwm, dmenu, and st.

Holy shit this is the bee’s knees istg. It works out of the box with ssh, any other TCP connection, etc. This is literally tailscale without tailscale.

Great paper

Fascinating peak into both past and also the Unix culture. It was originally made in the mid 1980s.

Really neat to have this annotated version!

A book about Unix expertise, that teaches you the things about Unix development that Unix experts know, but aren’t aware that they know.
