@2ch Is the browser thrashing?
Has the browser stopped thrashing, Clarice? Do you think if you install Gentoo you can silence that terrible thrashing of the browser?
@judgedread Slackware makes Gentoo look bloated, https://crux.nu/ makes Slackware look bloated.
No getting around browser bloat, regardless.

Lynx?
@judgedread w3m is more my speed; I use w3m on the RISC-V box (single-core at 1GHz, 1GB RAM; does everything I need done except a browser), or mothra when drawterm'd into the Plan 9 box (mothra was written by 
, with whom you might be familiar, because he worked at LucasArts before/after his stint at Bell Labs writing the rc shell for Research Unix that became the default shell for Plan 9, as well as writing the mothra browser; 9front re-added the webfs support, so you can mount a webfs that speaks to a proxy, so it's easy to run one mothra that talks to Tor and one that talks to the clearnet). netsurf has some minimal support for JS/CSS but I hardly use netsurf.

@judgedread Actually just using FediBBS in acme for this conversation. No browser required.

That's beautiful, man.
@judgedread Works locally, but there's still `ssh bbs@fsebugoutzone.org`. There's a DSMC deployment also but not open access; vague plans for a Poast roll-out exist (cc @graf) now that there's a reasonable(?) way to do that ( https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=fedibbs;a=blob;f=doc/install;h=e3b5d1c97bdc5410ab990283da2f40e2ce912d97;hb=HEAD#l78 ). It is still, as far as I know, the only text-stream interactive client, and the only client of any kind that can post its own source code.

yeah I'll pop it on just not right now (i have to piss and then maybe get a drink)
@graf @judgedread Deployment is complicated. I can pass a binary if needed but the Linux build script *should* work now. (It embeds a tarball of the source in the binary so that `interject` works. The `rumor:` and `rumor` commands were stolen from Enigma Half.)
im sorry pete you can pass a what
