New comment by meitham in "GUIs should be fully keyboard-driven"

meitham — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 11:38:14 +0000

I practically live in the terminal but can’t live without a mouse. I’ve been using Vim (now Neovim) exclusively as my sole editor and everything in tmux including my email. I agree with the power of the keyboard but a properly configured mouse is a truly powerful terminal utility.

Claude comes with very nice hook-api you can use it to customise notifications and allow tmux window to blink or to come to the front when Claude needs your attention

Normal GUI runs local. I have mosh running from Blink on my iPhone to my server and I can continue months long session of AI

I've taken a look at herdr and I am confused, what does it offer over using Blink terminal from iPhone and tmux on the server?

This echoes my experience too! You write one thing that can be misinterpreted as offensive to someone somewhere and suddenly you are an enemy of the Reddit state

meitham — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 05:22:33 +0000

I am satisfied with pve and qm commands on proxmox, but I wish there was a nix answer to pfsense where my network and firewall are defined declaratively

Perhaps we could even make the file the port itself, perhaps calling it a “socket”? A “unix socket” would be a great name. If we could place all these files behind a local reverse proxy then we could use localhost/jekyll or localhost/fastapi. It’s just a dream

I read somewhere that Spotify initially seeded their db with pirated music! Now they go after anyone following their suit! It’s like a mafia’s boss that became mayor and is suddenly tough on crime, without acknowledging his past history!

I’m sorry to hijack this thread but can you run Ai agents like Claude or Cursor on BSD? I’m considering making a switch for development environment

I haven’t come across lesswrong before! Great site and this caffeine article is great presentation of data.

Agreed. Minus the nuclear and air defence, Iran is more advanced than US and Russia in many other weapons capabilities.

The global Shia’s population is even larger than Russia’s population, and more willing to fight the US/Israel. Russia is of course superior to Iran technologically but Iran has the larger support worldwide.

meitham — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 04:58:52 +0000

The article promotes the value of UI for the infrastructure by touching on ZFS. But in this age of Ai, what I’m really looking for is a good api or cli one can let LLM drives. I basically care more about using my infrastructure than how to create it. I know proxmox can do this, but I wish there was a nixos like system where all my VMs are in one file I can verify between LLM making the change and deployment

As a father of 3, nothing is more satisfying than raising kids.

How do you propose fixing that? Let the kids take both parents last names? In few generations you end with kids having their entire family tree as their last name! It might even make marrying within the tribe attractive again to keep last name single word!

erm, I think they're now called "sex workers" but self-employed or digital prostitutes is more correct now, given the inability to tell if you're dealing with a person or AI hologram!

This ban targets children, prohibition covered adults! This more like requiring proof of id when you purchase alcohol
