Into the unknown (part 1)

Welcome to the tty. It is called vt(4), but it does not matter. Package manager is called "pkg". Fine. Now I need some basic things.

Git. Found. In kitchen sink configuration, with support of svn, cvs and all other useless things. I will deal with that later. Why "git add -p" is so slow?

Editor. By default there is only "vi", not "vim". It does not support "gq" and "gg" command and has no syntax highlighting. I'll try to get used to it. This is SPARTA!

Terminal multiplexer. I want one. Switching between consoles via Ctrl-Alt-F* is too inconvenient. Dvtm. Found. For some reason packages it does not contain terminfo. Broken. Inhibit desire to fix. Tmux. Found. How to change prefix to C-a? Found. Will do.

Web browser. W3m. Found. Surfraw. Removed from ports, broken for more than 6 months. What?! How set of simple shell scripts can be broken? Whatever, can live without for now.

Gemini browser. diohsc? Missing, and building Haskell stuff from the source on this laptop would take ages. Okay, gmni will do. Missing too? Sigh. Okay, I can build from the source, I guess. Bearssl in dependencies? Found in ports. Quite decent.

I need my keys. Okay, passphrase2pgp not in ports, golang is. Good enough, golang compiles fast.

Posix shell. Both mksh and bash in ports. Good.

I still need to setup IRC and email, but I am more or less comfortable: I can browse Internet and have C compiler and C manpages.
