I like Kitty Graphics. I like graphics in the terminal for two reasons:

1. integration with MC (midnight commander) style directory browser to show previews of jpegs, pdfs, etc.
2. w3m web browser. I like being able to use that super-light weight webrowser when working/coding to keep me focused.

Reason (1.) works with Kitty. (2.) does not. (2.) is pretty esoteric so I think sixel will probably die out soon due to the user base?

• Ctrl + Alt + F[1-0] to access other TTYs which might still be responsive even if your desktop environment is unresponsive. Pull up top/htop and ID the problematic process to kill.
• Agree with using an oom killer.
• Do you need more swap? Can use swap file if expanding swap partition is problematic.

Thought out choice but disappointing nevertheless:

My stance for now is that Ghostty will not support sixels.

...AppImage? No thanks.

• Self-hosted Radicale for calendar, contacts, and todo list
• On Desktop use vdirsyncer for syncing and khal/khard/todoman
• On Android I use davsync with mostly default android apps for calendar, contacts and todolist

  \ Works flawlessly.

  \ Use custom curl scripts to get some internet calendars that also works flawlessly.

  \ Been doing this for almost a decade now.

Irrelevant. You can sublicense MIT to GPL by forking if you're so inclined.

Who wants another Silicon Valley? Their model is foundationally based on "moving fast and breaking things".
\ What about focusing on responsible, organic stewardship and community over growth at any cost? If no one's making any real money, we don't have to hitch our cart to the capitalist horse which has resulted in our current situation.

I wholeheartedly agree, though I will need to look up the XNU kernel and the relevance of licensing to Elasticsearch and Terraform. I develop and use R packages and am happy to see that the majority (70%) of those packages are GPL. Not core linux infrastructure, but I an at least happy in my small corner of the OSS community.

Thank for the reply!

I definitely understand your preference for copyleft licenses.

This is off-topic but are there any recent media that have strengthened your views for GPL or even AGPL (outside of Stallman) over MIT/ISC?

I have been using Zotero for a while and syncing my library directory with Syncthing, even though they say not to (no problem in 7 years including PhD and job).
\ If you want something even more minimalist, it is possible with the command line too, , which is the approximate setup I'm currently using in my pharma job.

Look at the European, having to only stock metric screw sizes, so lucky. Kidding!
\ I'm definitely going to try this out. Looks great!

I don't support the .NET Framework which is a dependency of most (all?) of the -arr suite. It's a fairly divisive and niche argument so I didn't bring it up initially, but I try to reduce my reliance on proprietary software and hardware as much as possible.

I would vote for syncthing as it can have better support if you need syncing across work firewalls. Also allows device-to-device sync, not just server-device. It's a cool federated solution (like lemmy!).

Good to know! I'm still at the vim+markdown+LaTeX for equations mode, but other than for math stuff I can't be bothered for LaTeX. I wish collaborators would be open to LaTeX rather than Google Docs or the highway.

I'm not a big fan of the -arr suite so I use Headphones.

Surely the support for LaTeX is the killer feature with your math class, not emacs vs. vim.
