That's so close to being yaml though.

This is actual yaml:

the '83-'92 years look like the actual "System V" period from SVR1 to SVR4.2

'92 and later would have been the period of "sysvinit", miquel van smoorenburg's clone of System V's init for minix/linux

yeah, prior to that you’d get a SysV-style init if you ran a SysV derivative or an oldschool /etc/rc script on a V7-like or BSD derivative

remember that V7-likes were also common on small systems like PCs and lower end 68K minis: MINIX was one but not the only one, Coherent was really popular and PC-IX was another with which I think MINIX was compatible

something that honestly surprises me is that Sun didn’t make SunOS 4 for generic i386 & i486 hardware available after discontinuing the 386i—it was full and good SunOS 4 including source compatibility, shared libraries, the rewritten unified VM system, etc.

instead they bought and resold Interactive UNIX for i386, which was a System V that had no binary or source compatibility with SunOS, and they didn’t even bother with 386i bincompat when they released Solaris for x86

I can’t wait to get my 386i up and running again, I just wish I could find the SunOS 4.0.2 SUNSRC distribution for it

I don't know if this is a Firefox thing or, more likely, a linux on the desktop thing. Here we go:

I have a raspberry pi plugged into a TV. The only thing this raspberry pi needs to do is have firefox (or another browser) in full screen mode.

I boot up the rpi, open firefox, fullscreen it, and it's beautiful.

However, when I switch the HDMI source to another device and then switch back, firefox goes to maximized (not full screen).

How do I make firefox always be full screen?

I'm fine switching to any other browser that can do full screen and have an add-in to auto refresh the page every X seconds.

do you need the ability to access the address bar and such, or can you just launch a single page with the command line?

if the latter, use `firefox -kiosk https://foo.com`. if the former, i got nothin

are you using x11 or wayland on the pi, and if wayland, which compositor?

Wayland LXDE

This may or may not be a dumb idea but maybe try using gamescope? I believe the Steam Deck uses gamescope as its compositor when not running in full-screen mode.
