I’ve been running OpenBSD since 2.8. I’ve only met one other BSD user in real life and they were baffled to why I’d run it as a workstation OS. Sometimes I am too.

Hahah. At least you learned some things. Took me a few goes after thinking I was slick having stage 2 down pat. Then tried some BSDs and was humbled again.

Not sure if you’d gain all that much with your level of experience. LFS might be a better starting point. However, after suggesting doing a stage 2 to a few that were eager to learn more (even though they’d been using it for a very long time), it was generally a positive experience. If you go through the guide I’m sure you’d be able to tell quickly whether it would be useful.

But seriously - if you do want to see the inner workings, perform a Gentoo stage 2 to dip your toes in. LFS after if you’re feeling dangerous. Then things will start to come together. But maybe do it on a spare machine… You can/will break things and you will need a fallback to do research. Don’t bother if you don’t care to read manuals, it’s not easy and can be frustrating.

jfc we’ll eat anything.

Oh damn, I forgot about acme. Plan 9 is a trip.

vim is basically my foreverhome at this point. I feel clumsy trying to use most other things. But I also like emacs shortcuts and learned a bunch of them unwittingly via bash having that mode set out of the box.

it will also of course remove overspray if you’re out of lacquer thinner and as a side bonus the fumes will later reveal that the paint shop didn’t prep for top coat what they “fixed” next to what you’re working on.

They endlessly tooted their horn about their diversity and fully remote operations. So this is pretty rich.

“This isn’t cost cutting” Oh, fuck off. This is trimming the fat before they try to look for a buyer again.

Stuff like this in the only reason Twitter needs to stay alive.
