profile

I don't know how "portable" a .profile can be, but let's try!

Althought I'm not using acme as my go-to text editor program, I still like to use it and have the rest of the plan9ports at hand.

I manually fetched and installed the ports in ~/plan9, and need to define $PLAN9 in order for the various tooling to work.

PLAN9=$HOME/plan9
export PLAN9

I tend to have an abnormal $PATH

PATH=$HOME/bin:$HOME/opt/emacs/bin:$HOME/opt/gcc10/bin:$HOME/go/bin:$HOME/opt/unnethack/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.node_modules/bin:/home/ports/infrastructure/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/games:/usr/local/jdk-17/bin:$PLAN9/bin

Let's split it:

Tell npm to install things globally in the right directory

export npm_config_prefix=~/.node_modules

ksh doesn't have a "default" configuration file (like ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc); instead, if called interactively, it loads the file pointed by ENV. Tell ksh to load ~/.kshrc then

export ENV=$HOME/.kshrc

An UTF-8 locale is mandatory. I'm using en_US even if english is not my main language:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Got is quickly becoming my favourite version control system. It should be able to load the author data from a config file, but I still keep this variable, just in case :)

export GOT_AUTHOR="Omar Polo <op@omarpolo.com>"

Sometimes I need to do stuff with Docker. I have a virtual machine running alpine with docker configured and this bit here will allow docker-cli to transparently talk to the VM:

export DOCKER_HOST=ssh://op@100.64.2.3:22

I had this revelation. I don't MoGrify text. I don't VIsualize files. I EDit them!

EDITOR=ed
export EDITOR

less(1) should be the default pager pretty most everywhere, but ensure that!

export MANPAGER=less

I've found a cool pager for postgresql, pspg. It's designed explicitly for tabular data. Extra points for having some cool light themes! Tao light theme (number 20) is my favourite.

export PSQL_PAGER='pspg -s20'

I'm using reposync to manage my local clone of the OpenBSD source tree. Technically this isn't needed, because /home/ports is already a checkout from /home/cvs, but anyway...

export CVSROOT=/home/cvs

This is just to make some command outputs a little bit nicer:

export BLOCKSIZE=1m

I don't particularly like coloured outputs when I'm in front of a terminal, so I tend to disable them:

export NO_COLOR='yes, please'
export CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE=OFF
export WG_COLOR_MODE=never
export AV_LOG_FORCE_NOCOLOR='fuck yes'

...as an exception I'm trying to enable colors in tog(1) (cautiously!) and see how it goes:

export TOG_COLORS=yes
export TOG_COLOR_DIFF_MINUS=magenta
export TOG_COLOR_DIFF_PLUS=blue
export TOG_COLOR_DIFF_CHUNK_HEADER=green
export TOG_COLOR_DIFF_META=default
export TOG_COLOR_COMMIT=default
export TOG_COLOR_AUTHOR=default
export TOG_COLOR_DATE=default
export TOG_COLOR_REFS_REMOTES=red

some other tweaks for tog

export TOG_DIFF_ALGORITHM=patience
export TOG_VIEW_SPLIT_MODE=h

mblaze uses quoted-printable if there are lines longer than 78 character or so. if $MBLAZE_RELAXED_MIME is specified tho, it will only do so if it founds lines longer than 998 characters, allowing me to send diffs without mangling!

export MBLAZE_RELAXED_MIME=1

On OpenBSD, automake and autoconf requires these variables to be up to work. Otherwise one can run automake-X.Y and autoconf-X.Y, but that's ugly:

export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.71
export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.16

Finally, load the specific profile for this machine if it exists:

if [ -f "$HOME/.profile-local" ]; then
	. "$HOME/.profile-local"
