2020-11-28T01:05:27 #kisslinux turns out I was was missing a kernel option for usb storage 2020-11-28T02:46:00 #kisslinux is firefox-bin gone from the repo? 2020-11-28T03:32:44 #kisslinux Rio6: Yes. https://github.com/kisslinux/repo/commit/cbd962343faadd36d31623b729350c0143ee453e 2020-11-28T03:34:41 #kisslinux ok :| 2020-11-28T03:35:37 #kisslinux they certainly made life easier, but for that same reason must be hard to maintain. It would be nice to see a seperate kiss-firefox repo dedicated to this... maybe a CI/CD thing 2020-11-28T03:37:51 #kisslinux acheam I've set up a repo which has binaries for KISS but not sure if you would be willing to trust it 2020-11-28T03:37:55 #kisslinux Since it's all done by me manually 2020-11-28T03:40:26 #kisslinux I should just setup ccache 2020-11-28T03:40:47 #kisslinux testuser[m]: ah nice. I don't use KISS enough to actually use it but im interested. Whats the link? 2020-11-28T03:42:10 #kisslinux https://github.com/git-bruh/kiss-bins 2020-11-28T03:42:59 #kisslinux that reminds me, I need to get back to working on the Nuegia package... 2020-11-28T03:43:07 #kisslinux testuser[m]: nice 2020-11-28T03:48:51 #kisslinux While on the topic of browsers, are there any lightweight browsers that don't... er... suck? 2020-11-28T03:49:20 #kisslinux in this case "suck" meaning poor or non-existent JS and improper handling of HTML and CSS rendering 2020-11-28T03:51:30 #kisslinux if by lightweight you mean not using WebKit, WebEngine/chromium, or Gecko, then I would say none that are worth your time 2020-11-28T03:51:45 #kisslinux either you have great support, and its heavy, or it has bad support and its light 2020-11-28T03:51:48 #kisslinux yeah, that's what I'm finding... 2020-11-28T03:52:10 #kisslinux my ideal browser would be, like... literally just NetSurf, but with a more up to date engine 2020-11-28T03:52:30 #kisslinux honestly I think it's more of an issue of where the web has gone 2020-11-28T03:52:48 #kisslinux I've heard people talking about qute browser (still webkit stuff), idk how lightweight it is 2020-11-28T03:52:49 #kisslinux it seems like a functional browser has to be bloated by its very nature, now 2020-11-28T03:53:12 #kisslinux if I were to use a webkit browser I think it'd be Lariza 2020-11-28T03:53:28 #kisslinux I really like the design of it. It's like a slightly more usable surf 2020-11-28T03:53:42 #kisslinux yeah the web itself is bloat now a days 2020-11-28T03:53:51 #kisslinux can't do anyt without javascript 2020-11-28T03:53:58 #kisslinux even basic shit :/ 2020-11-28T03:54:10 #kisslinux like, why are people using JS to do something as simple as navigate between pages? 2020-11-28T03:54:43 #kisslinux even rendering is done by js now on lots of sites 2020-11-28T03:55:12 #kisslinux It's really depressing. 2020-11-28T03:55:41 #kisslinux not to mention that pretty much all opposition in the browser space now is controlled by google 2020-11-28T03:56:05 #kisslinux either through everything being chromium forks now, or just bribing the fuck out of their competitors 2020-11-28T03:56:08 #kisslinux * midfavila coughs 2020-11-28T03:56:10 #kisslinux Mozilla 2020-11-28T03:56:28 #kisslinux Qutebrowser is nice, but its webengine (chromium) now. QtWebKit is diying a bit, and insecure as its based on an old upstream of WebKit. I really dislike the ideology of using the google engine even if its been de-googled in terms of privacy 2020-11-28T03:56:52 #kisslinux why don't people dig up the old Opera engine? 2020-11-28T03:57:08 #kisslinux qutebrowser is just sooo convinient though. Would love it if QtWebKit development could pick up pace a bit so I could switch to that from web engine 2020-11-28T03:57:23 #kisslinux well, it's also qt 2020-11-28T03:57:25 #kisslinux which is... eh. 2020-11-28T03:57:38 #kisslinux but modern gtk is no better honestly. 2020-11-28T03:58:04 #kisslinux * acheam `kill -9 -1` his KDE desktop 2020-11-28T03:58:24 #kisslinux the k stands for kringe 2020-11-28T03:58:25 #kisslinux :p 2020-11-28T03:59:10 #kisslinux :) 2020-11-28T03:59:27 #kisslinux sometimes I feel like I get way too worked up over this stuff though, tbh. it'd be nice if I could be satisfied using firefox, but it gets in the way of my autistic urge to tinker 2020-11-28T04:00:19 #kisslinux I would honestly just give up with that on a web browser unless you wanna go full Terry Davis, a modern web browser is almost an OS of its own 2020-11-28T04:00:37 #kisslinux that's what I'm realizing 2020-11-28T04:01:06 #kisslinux I don't even really use the web much at this point 2020-11-28T04:01:22 #kisslinux just to check ebay and do research now and then 2020-11-28T04:02:16 #kisslinux unfortunately i'm a bit tied to the internet. Literally have my IRC client on the right, and QuteBrowser with 10 tabs open on the left 2020-11-28T04:02:30 #kisslinux I mean, same 2020-11-28T04:03:16 #kisslinux IMs are honestly a little out of control for me, haha. i've got pidgin connected to discord, telegram, freenode, and espernet at pretty much all times 2020-11-28T04:03:22 #kisslinux been playing a lot of MUDs recently though. 2020-11-28T04:04:03 #kisslinux lol nice. I just have IRC and Discord sometimes. I would setup an IRC/Discord relay but need to use a lot of Discord features beyond text 2020-11-28T04:04:06 #kisslinux whats a MUD? 2020-11-28T04:04:22 #kisslinux multi-user dungeon 2020-11-28T04:04:36 #kisslinux think of it like a cross between an old text game, IRC, and DnD 2020-11-28T04:04:47 #kisslinux they're basically proto-MMORPGs 2020-11-28T04:05:02 #kisslinux sounds interesting. Is it automated like a text game or run by a DM? 2020-11-28T04:05:10 #kisslinux no and no 2020-11-28T04:05:18 #kisslinux well, some games let you use bots 2020-11-28T04:05:24 #kisslinux but it's heavily regulated even in those instances 2020-11-28T04:05:37 #kisslinux it's normally a sit-down-and-type-commands-in-your-terminal experience 2020-11-28T04:06:06 #kisslinux but there's not really a DM either. well, except for the times there are 2020-11-28T04:06:16 #kisslinux but most of the time it's controlled by the computer program 2020-11-28T04:06:36 #kisslinux i see. Sounds like fun, but not the kind of thing I personally am super into 2020-11-28T04:06:45 #kisslinux yeah it's not for everyone 2020-11-28T04:06:58 #kisslinux I just like them as time-wasters 2020-11-28T04:07:31 #kisslinux plus it's one of the few forms of entertainment that's pretty much FLOSS throughout the whole stack, so I don't even have to justify it to myself :D 2020-11-28T04:07:37 #kisslinux theres lots of curl muds 2020-11-28T04:07:46 #kisslinux wait, curl? as in the utility? 2020-11-28T04:07:53 #kisslinux oh wait 2020-11-28T04:07:56 #kisslinux i meant nc 2020-11-28T04:07:59 #kisslinux my bad 2020-11-28T04:08:05 #kisslinux curl and netcat are both super powerful 2020-11-28T04:08:21 #kisslinux if it works with netcat will it work with anything that can latch to a tcp socket? 2020-11-28T04:08:25 #kisslinux idk why but I mix curl and nc so often 2020-11-28T04:08:44 #kisslinux there is actually a really cool curl pastebin 2020-11-28T04:08:57 #kisslinux i kbow there is 0x0.st 2020-11-28T04:08:59 #kisslinux there are lots of netcat ones, but I think curl makes it cooler 2020-11-28T04:09:18 #kisslinux wttr.in is my favorite curl site so far 2020-11-28T04:09:40 #kisslinux just do curl wttr.in and you get your weather 2020-11-28T04:09:47 #kisslinux wttr.in is nice because it has tons of options, but it doesn't scale nicely to small terminals 2020-11-28T04:10:24 #kisslinux I rmbr there's a small option, but forgot what it is 2020-11-28T04:11:53 #kisslinux hmm I thought I couldn't find one but I will look into it 2020-11-28T04:12:11 #kisslinux anyways 95% of the time I need to see the weather I need to see it in detail and im already on my phone 2020-11-28T04:12:18 #kisslinux wttr.in is cool 2020-11-28T04:12:29 #kisslinux but I normally just pull reports straight from my local METAR 2020-11-28T04:14:17 #kisslinux oh god, you weren't kidding about wttr failing to scale 2020-11-28T04:14:29 #kisslinux it freaks out even with a standard 80x24 terminal 2020-11-28T04:14:41 #kisslinux yeah you've gotta fullscreen it 2020-11-28T04:15:04 #kisslinux at least because its curl, you don't need to re-curl it to fix it 2020-11-28T04:15:09 #kisslinux i'll stick with my personal script kek 2020-11-28T04:15:36 #kisslinux then again I could probably do with turning down the font size in my xresources files 2020-11-28T04:15:49 #kisslinux urxvt? 2020-11-28T04:15:54 #kisslinux Yeah 2020-11-28T04:16:15 #kisslinux I normally use urxvt, but I set up a bunch of the classic X programs over the past few days 2020-11-28T04:16:34 #kisslinux so xmore, xman, xmessage, xfontsel, imake, etc are all packaged now 2020-11-28T04:17:10 #kisslinux Nice 2020-11-28T04:17:15 #kisslinux M'hm 2020-11-28T04:17:33 #kisslinux I actually kind of dig Xaw... it's a shame nobody really uses it 2020-11-28T04:18:04 #kisslinux here's the wttr.in issue on small displays, looks like they are very well aware of it. https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/issues/151 2020-11-28T04:19:01 #kisslinux that's good 2020-11-28T04:19:21 #kisslinux just had to look up what it was lol. Honestly i'd rather things sticked to qt or gtk just because it sticks with my theming and standards, even if they suck 2020-11-28T04:20:25 #kisslinux I suppose. I've heard the next generation of GTK is removing theme support, though... not sure if that's actually the case or not, but I wouldn't put it past those GNOME losers 2020-11-28T04:20:36 #kisslinux gtk5? 2020-11-28T04:20:39 #kisslinux 4 2020-11-28T04:20:47 #kisslinux gtk4 isn't removing theme support 2020-11-28T04:21:01 #kisslinux that's a minor relief then 2020-11-28T04:21:14 #kisslinux I'm rather firmly stuck on GTK2 though, myself 2020-11-28T04:21:23 #kisslinux why's that? 2020-11-28T04:21:36 #kisslinux theming and resource utilization 2020-11-28T04:21:47 #kisslinux i've tinkered with GTK3 themes before and oh my god it's such a pain 2020-11-28T04:21:52 #kisslinux we obviously have different priorities :) 2020-11-28T04:22:00 #kisslinux although yes, gtk3 themes are endlessly complicated 2020-11-28T04:22:09 #kisslinux well, I like my GUIs to look nice :p 2020-11-28T04:22:17 #kisslinux to the point where most of them are just copies of one another with the colors changed 2020-11-28T04:22:20 #kisslinux if I'm going to be stuck staring at it all day I want it to look the way I do 2020-11-28T04:22:21 #kisslinux and yeah 2020-11-28T04:22:23 #kisslinux that's what I've noticed 2020-11-28T04:22:30 #kisslinux everything is a clone of numix or adwaita 2020-11-28T04:22:41 #kisslinux I rather like adwaita dark actually 2020-11-28T04:22:56 #kisslinux although I am using aritim-dark right now which is a really nice deep blue theme 2020-11-28T04:24:12 #kisslinux I just find adwaita boring 2020-11-28T04:24:21 #kisslinux which, okay, not always a bad thing 2020-11-28T04:24:30 #kisslinux but when there aren't many other options... eh 2020-11-28T04:24:41 #kisslinux yeah it is a bit boring, but it gets the job done. Another one I really like (although does not have a qt version, which is a dealbreaker for me) is prof-dark 2020-11-28T04:24:52 #kisslinux there are some nice retro-inspired themes that I like 2020-11-28T04:25:10 #kisslinux someone made a set of MOTIF themes, and there's the obligatory win9x stuff 2020-11-28T04:25:10 #kisslinux I like how KDE lets you choose colors and widget styles seperately really easily, so you can mix it up a bit 2020-11-28T04:25:35 #kisslinux chicago95 is the only experience I have with the old themes. I really don't understand people still using WindowMaker and stuff 2020-11-28T04:26:00 #kisslinux I like Window Maker because it's lightweight, looks reasonably nice, and it has a unique feel 2020-11-28T04:26:07 #kisslinux also it's shockingly good for tablet PCs 2020-11-28T04:27:46 #kisslinux lol didn't realize you use it. Makes sense with the other stuff that you have said though. Personally, I like my comforts of a desktop environment (trust me, i've been through the works with xmonad, dwm, etc) but still like tiling so I use KDE with a kwin tiling script that actually works really nicely. Never would of though about Windowmaker being good for tablets but now that I think about it it makes sense 2020-11-28T04:28:03 #kisslinux well, I don't use Window Maker atm :p 2020-11-28T04:28:08 #kisslinux I'm using FVWM 2020-11-28T04:28:27 #kisslinux but yeah, it's great for tablets because of the large UI elements and emphasis on drag-n-drop 2020-11-28T04:28:47 #kisslinux and I mean, I get the appeal of DEs where things just werk, but I find a lot of them really restrictive 2020-11-28T04:29:52 #kisslinux they can be restrictive for sure (especially GNOME, budgie, DDE, cinnamon, etc) but KDE strikes a good balance IMO and more people should give it a fair shot. I have heard really good things about FVWM but never tried it. Anyways, I think that my window-manager-only days are behind me 2020-11-28T04:30:00 #kisslinux I have to go to sleep now, see you 2020-11-28T04:30:07 #kisslinux Alright, rest well 2020-11-28T04:30:28 #kisslinux thank you 2020-11-28T05:45:27 #kisslinux binary firefox from mozilla doesn't work because of musl 2020-11-28T05:45:28 #kisslinux rip 2020-11-28T06:00:40 #kisslinux It probably depends on dbus and all that stuff too 2020-11-28T06:04:40 #kisslinux maybe it's time to explore other browsers 2020-11-28T06:05:05 #kisslinux Why do you need a binary ff btw? 2020-11-28T06:10:08 #kisslinux cuz I dont want to compile clang + rust + ff 2020-11-28T06:10:34 #kisslinux the one from kiss-bin uses 50% cpu for some reason 2020-11-28T06:13:12 #kisslinux Rio6 binary works fine here, do you instantly get 50% cpu usage? 2020-11-28T06:18:50 #kisslinux I have normal cpu usage, 0-10% with a few tabs open 2020-11-28T07:14:02 #kisslinux Opened quite a few tabs now, both RAM and CPU usage is normal. Do you see something in logs? 2020-11-28T07:14:21 #kisslinux (im running it in a kiss musl chroot, but i dont think that should make a difference) 2020-11-28T11:07:13 #kisslinux My HP Mini 210 is hating me for trying to compile on it :x 2020-11-28T11:31:10 #kisslinux Has anyone ever had `cat: -: Failed to open '-'` this come up whenever using configure scripts? 2020-11-28T11:32:01 #kisslinux * testuser[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/CbCdpOXoauYSnZtkORkAfXLG/message.txt > 2020-11-28T11:58:59 #kisslinux testuser[m] : it also says "cannot create executeable" 2020-11-28T11:59:11 #kisslinux what are your CFLAGS CXXFLAGS? 2020-11-28T12:00:27 #kisslinux Nah the compiler works fine, say i use CMAKE or use a pre-generated Makefile it builds 2020-11-28T12:00:39 #kisslinux tried without any CFLAGS aswell 2020-11-28T12:03:43 #kisslinux Just to be sure, 'cat' works as expected? 2020-11-28T12:04:01 #kisslinux I mean, i can `cat` any file just fine 2020-11-28T12:04:21 #kisslinux Y, I meant something like this (: 2020-11-28T12:04:59 #kisslinux Like libressl gave me that error, but if i use cmake to generate the makefile it works fine 2020-11-28T12:05:09 #kisslinux would a `config.log` be of any help? 2020-11-28T12:05:27 #kisslinux testuser[m]: does "echo 'hello' | cat -' work? 2020-11-28T12:05:53 #kisslinux sure: provide as many logs you can. 2020-11-28T12:07:10 #kisslinux AH 2020-11-28T12:07:24 #kisslinux I did a `kiss a | kiss a -` which swapped my cat from busybox to libarchive 2020-11-28T12:07:29 #kisslinux and i didnt notice 2020-11-28T12:07:31 #kisslinux lol 2020-11-28T12:08:04 #kisslinux :p 2020-11-28T12:08:26 #kisslinux Didn't remember since it was a few days back 2020-11-28T12:10:40 #kisslinux claudia02: btw, libarchive can be used for RAR files aswell, so p7zip can be dropped from `kiss-games` 2020-11-28T12:10:47 #kisslinux not sure if it works for password protected stuff though 2020-11-28T12:11:48 #kisslinux Does anyone know of a repository that includes the b43 driver? 2020-11-28T12:12:23 #kisslinux I need p7zip to extract assets from an exe file.

Build gcc in the morning and come back in the afternoon. But 2gb of ram. 2020-11-28T12:31:15 #kisslinux This consumer hardware is not meant to run so long time on full heat.Especially when the cooling is on the "barely enough" side. 2020-11-28T12:32:07 #kisslinux I'm still surprised it runs after the 10 years I have it now. 2020-11-28T12:32:51 #kisslinux Do you use it for "serious" work or just play around? 2020-11-28T12:34:31 #kisslinux I use it for what it is worth. I basically live in the terminal, so everything CLI works great. 2020-11-28T12:35:49 #kisslinux Weechat with IRC and Matrix, note taking, fediverse via toot, programming, text browsing, everything goes. 2020-11-28T12:36:38 #kisslinux If I really must, it can handle qutebrowser with 2-3 tabs. Only thing it struggles with is watching videos with mpv. 2020-11-28T12:47:38 #kisslinux To safe you one day of compiling, since you are using intel graphics, you can build mesa without the need of llvm. Have a look here https://www.reddit.com/r/kisslinux/comments/k1a7v4/llvm_fails_to_build_xorg/ 2020-11-28T12:52:24 #kisslinux claudia02: I will take this as a future reference, thank you. 2020-11-28T15:21:08 #kisslinux testuser[m], sorry for late reply, went to sleep last night. firefox from kiss-bin uses up to around 50% cpu when I open like 3 tabs, and then drops back down. I didn't see a pattern on what exactly causes it. It might just be the new version of firefox itself. I don't remember there's much coming from the stdout when run from command line 2020-11-28T15:28:01 #kisslinux Hmm, weird 2020-11-28T15:28:19 #kisslinux i do have a small spike when starting ff but i think that's just 10-19% 2020-11-28T15:28:26 #kisslinux and just for 1 sec 2020-11-28T20:13:27 #kisslinux https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=wzX6Y6kFehE 2020-11-28T20:13:38 #kisslinux boomer rants about how bad alsa is in the woods 2020-11-28T20:28:32 #kisslinux excuse me if he mentioned it, I can't watch it ATM, but what do you guys think about sndio? 2020-11-28T20:29:24 #kisslinux nah, he didn't bring it up. not really familiar with sndio 2020-11-28T20:29:28 #kisslinux I've heard of it before, but that's it 2020-11-28T20:39:50 #kisslinux hey, does anyone know if there is a arm port of kiss still being maintained? 2020-11-28T20:40:02 #kisslinux the one linked on the k1ss.org wiki is unmaintained 2020-11-28T20:40:11 #kisslinux if that's the case then probably not 2020-11-28T20:40:29 #kisslinux :c 2020-11-28T20:40:31 #kisslinux I can't imagine it would be too terribly difficult to bootstrap an ARM KISS tarball though 2020-11-28T20:40:43 #kisslinux probably a lot less tedious than something like LFS too 2020-11-28T20:40:52 #kisslinux true, but it's not for me 2020-11-28T20:40:58 #kisslinux Fair. 2020-11-28T20:41:01 #kisslinux yeah I would take on the challenge of it if I had some arm hardware to play with 2020-11-28T20:41:08 #kisslinux another person was asking about nice arm musl distros 2020-11-28T20:41:12 #kisslinux so like, literally not for me 2020-11-28T20:41:25 #kisslinux Definitely fair, then 2020-11-28T20:41:34 #kisslinux I think Alpine has ARM support 2020-11-28T20:41:46 #kisslinux it does 2020-11-28T20:41:46 #kisslinux yeah, alpine supports a lot of stuff 2020-11-28T20:41:50 #kisslinux probably the best choice 2020-11-28T20:41:54 #kisslinux cheers! 2020-11-28T20:41:55 #kisslinux I used to use Alpine on my laptop. Wasn't too bad, although definitely strange compared to a more "standard" distro 2020-11-28T20:42:31 #kisslinux alpine is nice but the repos really suck IMO, and unlike KISS, its difficult to package for 2020-11-28T20:42:38 #kisslinux Yeah. 2020-11-28T20:42:43 #kisslinux That's probably the best part of KISS 2020-11-28T20:42:50 #kisslinux it's like, stupidly easy to package stuff 2020-11-28T20:43:07 #kisslinux I just learned yesterday that postmarketos is alpine based 2020-11-28T20:43:11 #kisslinux yep, doesn't matter if the repos are (intentionally) small, just make a personal repo 2020-11-28T20:43:18 #kisslinux Rio6: huh I didn't know that 2020-11-28T20:43:21 #kisslinux M'hm 2020-11-28T20:43:41 #kisslinux which reminds me, I should probably set up a binary distro for myself... is kiss-bin still a thing? 2020-11-28T20:43:47 #kisslinux s/distro/repo/ 2020-11-28T20:43:49 #kisslinux fml 2020-11-28T20:44:35 #kisslinux testuser[m] has this one: https://github.com/git-bruh/kiss-bins 2020-11-28T20:45:06 #kisslinux I'll probably steal Rust and LLVM from it 2020-11-28T20:49:56 #kisslinux does busybox man output ESC[1m for anyone else? 2020-11-28T20:50:57 #kisslinux (if anyone uses busybox man) 2020-11-28T20:51:44 #kisslinux I didn't even realize busybox could provide man 2020-11-28T20:51:45 #kisslinux :v 2020-11-28T20:51:48 #kisslinux dilyn: libbytesize/build has a typo 2020-11-28T20:51:51 #kisslinux i'm just using mandoc 2020-11-28T20:59:11 #kisslinux Heeeeeey, yash isn't fucky any more 2020-11-28T20:59:13 #kisslinux Based 2020-11-28T20:59:58 #kisslinux muevoid: iirc you asked about krita deps, this is what you need http://ix.io/2FQh 2020-11-28T21:06:04 #kisslinux that's a long list XD 2020-11-28T21:08:03 #kisslinux that's form a base KISS install xD 2020-11-28T21:08:19 #kisslinux so that's 90 deps, most of which you're bound to already have 2020-11-28T21:10:35 #kisslinux even smaller if you already have something like falkon and mpv installed. it's basically just some kde frameworks deps and math libs 2020-11-28T22:59:52 #kisslinux busybox man is surprisingly easier to configure than mandoc 2020-11-28T23:00:11 #kisslinux as it mostly use the same config format as man-db 2020-11-28T23:00:39 #kisslinux and I can specify sh -c "fancy pipe stuff" as a pager 2020-11-28T23:01:00 #kisslinux mandoc I need to make a wrapper script for that 2020-11-28T23:01:52 #kisslinux lol i've literally never put more thought into man than `man ` 2020-11-28T23:03:39 #kisslinux I use vim as pager, and I can use short cut to jump between man pages as I read 2020-11-28T23:03:55 #kisslinux interesting, i should look into that 2020-11-28T23:06:25 #kisslinux col -b -x | vim -R -c 'set ft=man keywordprg=:Man nomod nonumber wrap breakindent linebreak' - 2020-11-28T23:06:35 #kisslinux is what I use currently 2020-11-28T23:07:31 #kisslinux I switched to mandoc in the end tho, so it'll need a wrapper script 2020-11-28T23:07:43 #kisslinux because mandoc can specify section 2020-11-28T23:10:02 #kisslinux speaking of mandoc config 2020-11-28T23:10:10 #kisslinux do you guys know how to set it to dynamically adjust its width? 2020-11-28T23:13:55 #kisslinux not sure 2020-11-28T23:14:38 #kisslinux I'll have to keep looking then... 2020-11-28T23:14:48 #kisslinux I'm positive you can, 'cuz other distros I don't recall ever having this issue 2020-11-28T23:14:53 #kisslinux I set up vim to wrap the lines so I can still see the text when I resize 2020-11-28T23:15:03 #kisslinux Line wrapping, ofc 2020-11-28T23:15:07 #kisslinux how did I not think of that 2020-11-28T23:15:18 #kisslinux gotta peek in my options... 2020-11-28T23:16:28 #kisslinux doesn't look as nice, but it's better than lines getting cut off 2020-11-28T23:18:25 #kisslinux (tbh I forgot how less handle resize) 2020-11-28T23:18:33 #kisslinux it's on by default with mine 2020-11-28T23:19:09 #kisslinux but for some reason when man invokes less, it doesn't wrap 2020-11-28T23:19:09 #kisslinux :/ 2020-11-28T23:37:50 #kisslinux Huzzah 2020-11-28T23:37:56 #kisslinux Found a trick that works 2020-11-28T23:38:27 #kisslinux You can use `tput cols` as the value for the -O width= argument to set the width of a manpage on invocation 2020-11-28T23:39:42 #kisslinux example command could be alias man="man -O width=`tput cols`"
