keithmy aliases file goes back to 1993. i've been adding and deleting from the same file since my first pass at grad school. luckily most of this is obsolete now: ``` ## next/apple keyboard fix <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> ?er 'stty erase ^?' <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> her 'stty erase ^H' # <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> finger 'finger -l' <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> ftp 'ftp -i' <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> mroe 'more' <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> telent 'telnet' <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> rhs 'rsh' <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> vip 'vi ~/.procmailrc' ``` when i set up accounts for the navy research lab i just copied my aliases file until one of the researchers got really offended when they ran "dir": ``` <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> dir 'echo "This is unix, idiot..."' ``` and seeing `procmail` makes me nostalgic for the good old days of mail filtering. kids these days will never understand the nonsense we did with our email. get an email from your boss - send a text to yourself. get a calendar warning - send a text with the meeting title and location. get an email from your least favorite customer? make a bleating noise on your workstation.we used to forge texts too via our smtp->sms gateway. it was not uncommon to get several texts a day from our ceo irwin jacobs or our chief scientist franklin antonio saying something like "there's leftover greek food in the conference room." -- until one day they started sending receipts to the sender.

Dr. Juande Santander-VelaToday I learned how to create a Finder alias using AppleScript and the command line:```bash $ osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to make alias file to posix file "/opt/homebrew/opt/emacs-plus@29/Emacs.app" at posix file "/Applications" with properties {name:"Emacs.app"}'alias file Emacs.app of folder Applications of startup disk ```This is for the particular case of creating an Emacs.app named alias at the Applications folder for the Homebrew version of the `emacs-plus` package, but changing the paths above will allow you to create arbitrary Finder aliases from the command line.<a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TIL</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/TodayILearned" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TodayILearned</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/AppleScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleScript</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Finder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Finder</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/alias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alias</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/CLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CLI</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/CommandLineInterface" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommandLineInterface</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/osascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#osascript</a>
