What does your BSD look like?

FreeBSD with bspwm & xfce4-panel and compton

I'm gonna make a new installation of the latest 13 beta and i may switch to awesome and make it seem fabulous and make another post later.

Just for fun (maps in the terminal, echomap) 😁

Had to use kitty, hence the black terminal.

pin Terminals get a makeover:
github/notcurses.
Notcurses 2.1.2 demo.
Maybe our next desktop will run in an xterm. ;-)

Found an old screenshot of mine featuring OpenIndiana 2018.04 with Enlightenment desktop (pkgsrc build, with Joyent's binaries). Thought it would fit here. That 2009 fully supported Sumsung laptop of mine is unfortunately dead now.

ok, I like sdorfehs. I cant really say why, but I do. Colours are the same, using built in bar.

EDIT: same screenshot but I updated my bar... didn't warrant a new post.

pfr 31 °C!
Today is rather warm here also, -4 °C 😆

pin I must admit, it was a perfect sunny day. In Melbourne (which is actually lower than South Australia) It doesn't really get too hot here. Sure we'll get up-to 40°C heatwaves in the middle of summer, but mostly its between 18-30°C all year round and will get down to around 8-12°C in winter (during the day). Can get down to 0°C at night.

OpenBSD 6.9 Beta :-)

OpenBSD and xfce on a thinkpad T430s

My main machine is a different thinkpad running linux....but I've been meaning to install openbsd on real hardware and not just a virtual machine. Pretty easy to use so far.

Don't know how long I will keep this install going, since this laptop has terrible battery life, and I've already replaced it. Maybe save up and get another refurbished thinkpad and put bsd on it.

nortonham and I've already replaced it.

With a genuine Lenovo Battery? What model ThinkPad is it? I use an X230 and it still has the original battery which is pretty much dead. But I plan to flash coreboot which will allow for aftermarket batteries and wifi cards.

I also read somewhere that there are certain power saving settings that can be applied in OpenBSD ?

The laptop is a T430s. Overall it's a nice machine, but the 's' is not something I would buy again. I do like my T420 though.

I don't think it's a genuine lenovo battery replacement. The battery it came with was terrible, the replacement has been the same. Was just looking again; slightly harder to find a replacement for T430s than the standard T430.

Very cool! I just installed aiomixer but on my light theme terminal the BG colour is set to dark ?

Post deleted.

oui

pfr aiomixer is using the default terminal colours. Taking a quick look at your .Xresources file it seems you have exported your light colour scheme the other way around - terminal applications use black (*color0) as background colour by default. So when using a light theme you should set black to a light colour and white to a dark colour.

pfr

oui Thank you! This makes sense but because I've never used a light theme before It never crossed my mind.

Another one for fun... remember 1999 😉

I don't really dare to merge this into the main branch but, it works perfectly and you can build it from wip

pin It doesn't quite have the same affect when it's not green text on black background though 😁

pfr Yeah, I know but, was lazy

pfr Better now? 😁

pfr

pin Yes. But If I'm being really picky, where are the Japanese characters and hieroglyphs? Also the fact that it is all upprcase is a little odd.

There are so many forks of the old cmatrix, some better than others. Was rusty-rain written in rust?
