# 2025-07-12 - OCC Delousing |
|
|
|
I switched to my OCC rig a day early to work out some of the nits |
|
ahead of time. |
|
|
|
In my original setup i neglected to install a web browser that is |
|
capable of accessing Mastodon on tilde.zone. I still didn't want |
|
to, so i configured DOStodon in DOSBox-staging. Tekk told me that i |
|
could also use lynx with https://brutaldon.org/ |
|
|
|

|
|
|
I wanted some system monitors and screenshots. |
|
|
|
# apk add xfce4-cpugraph-plugin |
|
# apk add xfce4-genmon-plugin |
|
# apk add xfce4-screenshooter |
|
|
|
Then i performed the following steps: |
|
|
|
* Right click the top panel |
|
* Click Panel preferences... |
|
* Click Items |
|
* Click +Add |
|
* Add a Separator, Power Manager Plugin, CPU Graph, and |
|
Generic Monitor |
|
* Re-order them to go right after the Workspace Switcher |
|
* Select Generic Monitor |
|
* Click the wrench button |
|
* At Command, enter: /home/ben/bin/wifi-monitor.sh |
|
* At Period (s), enter: 30.00 |
|
* Click Save |
|
* Click Close |
|
|
|
$ cat >bin/wifi-monitor.sh <<'__EOF__' |
|
#!/bin/sh |
|
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | awk -F '[()]' '/RX bytes/ { |
|
printf "%s/%s", |
|
substr($2, 1, length($2) - 2), |
|
substr($4, 1, length($4) - 2) |
|
}' |
|
__EOF__ |
|
|
|
Every 30 seconds it updates a display of traffic over WIFI, |
|
formatted like so: |
|
|
|
108.8 M /2.8 M |
|
|
|

|
|
|
I wanted a larger font than the default in `st`. Turns out this is |
|
trivial to configure. |
|
|
|
$ cat >bin/st.sh <<__EOF__ |
|
#!/bin/sh |
|
FONT='-*-terminus-bold-r-normal-*-22-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' |
|
if [ -z "$1" ] |
|
then |
|
/usr/bin/st -f $FONT |
|
else |
|
/usr/bin/st -f $FONT "$1" |
|
fi |
|
exit 0 |
|
__EOF__ |
|
$ chmod a+rx bin/st.sh |
|
|
|
In XFCE, i clicked Applications, Settings, |
|
Default Applications, Utilities, Terminal Emulator, |
|
Other... |
|
|
|
At the input i typed: |
|
/home/ben/bin/st.sh "%s" |
|
|
|
Then i clicked OK, Close |
|
|
|
* * * |
|
|
|
I wasn't able to live with ircii, so i installed irssi. |
|
I installed expect and gnu-libiconv because i have scripts |
|
that use those. |
|
|

|
|
|
I wanted a ruler at the bottom of my tmux window to facilitate hard |
|
line breaks in OpenBSD ed. I can accomplish this by interactively |
|
entering commands in tmux. However, when i save the same commands |
|
to a file and run them non-interactively, the ruler is displayed |
|
in the top pane instead of the bottom one. I opened a new thread |
|
on linuxquestions.org using the links browser. |
|
|
 |
tmux display-message goes to wrong pane |
