Here here. vim with syntax highlighting on an 80x20 tty with monospace font… I don’t know If I’m more productive than the next guy, and I don’t care. This is my happy place.

“freebsd-update” would probably be the equivalent of updating the “base” meta-package on a linux distro

most DE’s have a thing where you can paste highlighted text using the middle mouse button

Same here. I have and will always periodically reinstall no matter which OS I happen to be using. Arch is the only distro that keeps me coming back because installation and setup is such an active process. Every time around I learn something new and get more effecient at the process, which is so much more rewarding than filling a few boxes and waiting on a progress bar as is the case with most distros I have experienced.

iPXE maybe? But there’s a lot of implementation details you would have to figure out. Two that come to mind are:

1. A mobile device from which you can selectively provide an image for booting

2. A physical intrusion detection system for your home machine that you can also read remotely

Porque no nouveau?

hmmm… looks like emacs doesn’t have a lemmy extension yet.

I’m pretty comfortable on the command line, but I also won’t hesitate to boot a live disk and # dd if=/dev/zero the main hard drive the moment my gui refuses to load.
