Justine SmithiesSo still on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it <code>sixel</code> in <code>xterm</code> or the kitty protocol in <code>kitty</code>, I've decided to stick with good old <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xterm</a> . Also on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used <code>alacritty</code> or <code>kitty</code> to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> chic on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a> I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HerbstluftWM</a> and <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Openbox</a> are in my sights although I'm still using the default <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=fvwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fvwm</a> right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into <code>nsxiv</code> for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of <code>imv</code> is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a><br>

Justine SmithiesDecided that using xorg on my dell optiplex 3080 tower under <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> isn't for me although it bought back memories. I have seen how certain software has already become stale by which I mean no updates or bug fixes in a good 4-5 years. So I've switched back to <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> which I still use on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkPAD</a> . But my experience of using twm and xterm have made me go explore <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=labwc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Labwc</a> again with my favourite Wayland terminal Foot. It's a lovely minimal stacking window manager which can be themed using <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBox</a> themes. I have gruvbox dark installed which I quite like. As to what bar I'm going to use ? I'm not sure maybe waybar or sfwbar or even something else ? <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a><br><br><a href="https://github.com/labwc/labwc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/labwc/labwc</a><br>
Justine SmithiesStill playing around with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=labwc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Labwc</a> and although it's a <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> stacking window manager that can tile aka snap to edge it can also be totally configured to work with just the keyboard. I'm pretty impressed so far with what can be achieved. If you liked <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBox</a> then definitely give this a shot as you'll love it.<br>
