Justine SmithiesSo still on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it <code>sixel</code> in <code>xterm</code> or the kitty protocol in <code>kitty</code>, I've decided to stick with good old <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xterm</a> . Also on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used <code>alacritty</code> or <code>kitty</code> to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> chic on my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a> I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HerbstluftWM</a> and <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Openbox</a> are in my sights although I'm still using the default <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=fvwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fvwm</a> right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into <code>nsxiv</code> for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of <code>imv</code> is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a>

Yes I know the first is a tiling window manager but I know I can setup OpenBox to tile too with a few scripts. I think I'll have to research a tad more and decide later.

I've fallen down the `xlock -mode _modename_` rabbit hole. 🙂 This is interesting: when - instead of `startx` - you run `exec startx`, if you try to bypass the screen locker by CTRL-ALT-Fnum to a console and kill the X session it knocks you back out to login.
