Updating my shit in Termux:

# update via apt wrapper
pkg upgrade
# update yt-dlp
yt-dlp -U
# update everything in ~/.src
# (in this case, just ksh93)
gr ~/.src
cd ~/.src/ksh
bin/package make
bin/package install /data/data/com.termux/files/usr

I miss that brief period of time when dipshits like this would be told “Okay, buddy” and escorted out of the building.

I also plan to run Haiku on one of my older machines, but I can’t write down its components (e.g. init system, audio server), as it’s more monolithic than NetBSD or GNU/Linux.

To transfer files using netcat, it’s:

# Replace 1337 with any port number you like
nc -vl 1337 > file   # On recipient
nc -N 192.168.X.X 1337 < file   # On sender

Of course, things like compression and encryption need to be done beforehand; but one would hopefully use other means to transfer such files.

Wtf is up with Lemmy right now‽ It’s suddenly become rather xenophobic.

Depending on your drivers, you could give Guix a go. It’s not for everyone; but it’s decent, solid, and I used to run it on a 32-bit machine with 3GB of RAM.

If you do require nonfree drivers, there are guides to set it up using Nonguix; but I don’t know how well that works (I am yet to try it).
