my DNS provider helped me delegating a subdomain of one of my domains to DYN-DOT-COM
https://www.united-domains.de There is not a web GUI way to configure that, but when I asked them over the phone, they just asked me to give them the details, and the task got accomplished within less than 2 hours. Now I am able to reach my home network with a really nice FQDN. Next steps: blogs are…

started the article on LIBPATH at the English wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIBPATH I have no idea for how long it will survive the storms on en.wikipedia.org. I still just felt like I really should start it. On AIX (apparently with some OS/2 ancestry) it means basically the same as LD_LIBRARY_PATH elsewhere.

Wikipedia:Redirect – how to deal with a wikipedia “redirect”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIBPATH had gotten redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONFIG.SYS#LIBPATH, but LIBPATH is a meaningful environment variable on AIX as well. (There it means basically the same as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LD_LIBRARY_PATH.) So I wanted to create a disambiguation article for LIBPATH instead of the “redirect thing“. That article helped me doing so.

“Lexical File Names in Plan 9” or “Getting Dot-Dot Right” (an article on symlinks in Unix)
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/lexnames.html An article on symlinks in Unix. ABSTRACTSymbolic links make the Unix file system non-hierarchical, resulting in multiple valid path names for a given file. This ambiguity is a source of confusion, especially since some shells work overtime to present a consistent view from programs such as pwd, while other programs and the kernel itself…

long PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, … – what kind of performance impact do they have?
