for the win: Using ctwm (window manager), urxvt (terminal emulator), mrxvt (tabbed terminal emulator), pload (network monitor) and, in the spirit of the 90s, hot-babe (CPU monitor), I have a nice and borderline usable "desktop" on this 486.

Until starts doing work of course. Then I just sit back and wait.

      There are only hot girls here. See proof in attachment.
      Note that the compiler process is running with nice so as not to make the poor lady freeze too much.

          Kernel messages from NetBSD 10.1 on an AMD 486. Panics due to low memory after showing interesting sound cards detected. No correlation I'm sure - only including to brag.

            Yeah I agree. It's absolutely awesome - also that (and all the other variants) are first-class citizens. Thank you, @grunfink@comam.es!

              Damn I like the whole css-or-bust approach to styling that has. I mean I know many (most?) others do a bit of the same but this is just delightful.

              So..TLS aside, what is the most lightweight reverse proxy I can use instead of nginx in front of this thing? You know, in case I would like to move the instance from this beefy PPro to, say, a or a Wii running ? :)

                After a fair bit of fiddling, this instance is now .. operational, I think? And this is officially my first post here.
