Can you imagine web serving where the configuration isn't a thousand-line labyrinth of nested blocks and cryptic brackets, but a clean, flat stream of logic? I can.

just released beastie -- a minimal system fetch tool for BSD. 267 lines of C, no libX11, config.h driven in the suckless style. kern.ident support shows your custom kernel name.

Just measured memory usage of nvi vs neatvi opening a ~500KB file (/usr/include/*.h concatenated):

nvi 5184 KB
neatvi 1960 KB
2.6x less RSS neatvi wins without syntax highlighting even in the picture. The difference is likely nvi's Berkeley DB recovery layer allocating upfront regardless of use.

The news of #Mozilla enshittification makes me want to make a browser again. It would be a WebKit browser again (= #Suckless Surf-like, but without fash affiliation, you know me) but even #WebKit is better than adware anyway.
Does anyone know how to contact a #Suckless software developer? If you do, DM me. We'd like to talk to one of them on the podcast.

What’s your feeling on Google #keep #notion Or, do you have a preference for sharing a text or checkbox-type list?

In a perfect full GNU/#linux world, I would want the list to be in #dmenu (#suckless software), but idk about the file sharing aspect.

I don’t like Resilio. It just hasn’t worked out reliably when I tried. Plus, it is a bit of a drag being proprietary. Dropbox functions better anyway, so it remains a little lingering tech question of mine: what is the best free (FOSS) alternative?

Even more #suckless #surf instead of #Firefox
Fwiw I tried #ghostty but #kitty consumes less resources
I ll profile and post that
