Configure your bouncer and hop on IRC! We can meet on libera.chat I'm on the same boat, I also don't have anyone to speak too. But on IRC you have a lot of channels available where you can join and talk with the others.

I don't use them. I'm using OpenBSD on my server which don't support this feature.

Where speaking about shells, not terminals.

I lost my SimpleX profile haha But to be honest I don't like too much it. IRC, XMPP, DeltaChat are better options for me. They're more popular and good for privacy also, but of course SimpleX is more focused on privacy :)

And why are u using openbsd ksh instead bash?

[–] mlody@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

yeah, they're better for embedded devices

ZSH is used by MacOS at the moment as interactive shell. I have these shitty laptops in school

What? 🤔 Alacritty is terminal.

[–] mlody@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I was asking about that ksh because I love OpenBSD and in OpenBSD it's default shell. As I like to experiment with different operating systems, not only Linux I think that much better for me would be to learn POSIX shell. What's difference between POSIX shell and bash by the way?

I had contact with Alpine on one server. It's great OS but I don't think it's great choice not for desktop. I'm using Gentoo and it gives me much more capabilities ;) Gentoo can't work with busybox as GNU coreutils are hard dependency. musl is supported by Gentoo but as I heard there's a lot of issues with it

I don't want to remove bash, that's not my point. It's hard dependency for my system. Now I understand that dash sucks as interactive shell. Maybe I'll try fish as interactive shell just to check what it is, cause it's popular at the moment. But as I'm forced to have bash installed and it's great for interactive shell usage I will stick with it :)

 

Recently I got really interested in debloating and hardening my operating systems, cause I'm heavily inspired by Unix and "worse is better" philosophy. As I heard bash is heavy and we have much more lightweight and faster alternatives like these mentioned in title. They must be great alternative for scripting and interpreting but is there any reason to use them on my machines as interactive shell? Anyone are using them? Also is it worth to learn them as bash is standard IT industry?
