  1. source-file [-Fnqv] [-t target-pane] path ...
                  (alias: source)
            Execute commands from one or more files specified by path
            (which may be glob(7) patterns).  If -F is present, then
            path is expanded as a format.  If -q is given, no error
            will be returned if path does not exist.  With -n, the
            file is parsed but no commands are executed.  -v shows
            the parsed commands and line numbers if possible.

  3. The BBS Documentary Video Collection is a varied set of video items collected by Jason Scott, curator of TEXTFILES.COM. These are recordings about and from the era of the domination of ASCII and Dial-up Bulletin Board Systems (roughly the 1970s through the 1990s, with examples far before and after that).

  4. 79 AD Mount Vesuvius erupts. In Herculaneum, twenty meters of hot mud and ash bury an enormous villa once owned by the father-in-law of Julius Caesar. Inside, there is a vast library of papyrus scrolls. The scrolls are carbonized by the heat of the volcanic debris. But they are also preserved. For centuries, as virtually every ancient text exposed to the air decays and disappears, the library of the Villa of the Papyri waits underground, intact.
