I saw him speak in person and averted my gaze from him in guilt when he said that, since I had my "Swindle" in my bookbag at the time.

I lived in Thailand in the 90s. Sad to see it's become (or was it always?) so draconian with speech perceived to be against the monarchy. :\
Re:Operating System Development Series (2008) on Saturday June 04, 2016 @01:55PM (#11837205)
I've been looking at this to review OS fundamentals: https://www.udacity.com/course/introduction-to-operating-sys...

and also this: https://www.udacity.com/course/advanced-operating-systems--u...

My university also has its own recordings for the introductory OS class: https://recordings.engineering.illinois.edu:8443/ess/portal/...

with the corresponding course website (for the latest term): http://illinois-cs.github.io/ and lab slides http://weichunstevelee.github.io/labs.html

Unfortunately, access to the machine problems code isn't available unless you are an enrolled student.

But if you are looking just for video recordings, what I linked to is a decent resource.

Re:Who Needs Git When You Have ZFS? on Wednesday May 25, 2016 @11:23AM (#11770423)
ZFS is very powerful indeed; I've been using ZFS to share a data partition between OS X and Ubuntu. The versioning capabilities the OP mentions has a lot of potential.
Re:Simplifying Docker on OS X on Wednesday January 27, 2016 @10:53AM (#10980668)
Hey, this is pretty sweet.

This is a simple alternative than the solution I wrote about here: https://allysonjulian.com/setting-up-docker-with-xhyve/ which uses docker-machine-driver-xhyve (https://github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve).

I've been trying to figure out how to deal with the env variables used by docker, and used a workaround ~/.profile (https://gist.github.com/astrohckr/efceb07887225cbc2ba2). Like the OP, running eval in every terminal session makes me a bit concerned as well.

I'll give dlite a Go.
