16:11 <sewn> ilt: hi

19:40 <midfavila> rip me

19:41 <midfavila> do any of you know if there's a pax implementation that could theoretically also provide the system's tar?

19:41 <midfavila> i'd like to replace libarchive if possible

19:43 <midfavila> mir's pax seems like a possible hit

20:24 <sewn> midfavila: what's wrong with libarchive

20:27 <riteo> midfavila: not sure if we're talking about the same pax but I remember that the oasis linux fella made a pax impl

20:27 <riteo> also ye what's wrong with libarchive

20:32 <midfavila> nothing strictly wrong with libarchive i'm just looking for something smaller

20:32 <midfavila> i really only use libarchive for tar and i suppose pm

20:33 <midfavila> but i'd like to try patching pm to use either compress or zlib

20:33 <midfavila> also ye mir pax provides tar

20:33 <midfavila> will have to peek at oasis' one

20:33 <riteo> nice

20:34 <midfavila> i'm just trying to make my custom distro as small as possible ig

20:34 <riteo> always looked like a great thing, too bad it was never quite advertised anywhere

20:34 <midfavila> and i'd like to start experimenting again

20:34 <midfavila> oasis, you mean?

20:34 <riteo> the pax impl

20:34 <midfavila> aah

20:34 <riteo> like, you can't tell if it's actually done either

20:34 <riteo> but seems to work IIRC

20:36 <midfavila> will have to compare and contrast

20:36 <midfavila> tbqh i would use suckless tar but it's still busted afaik

20:40 <sewn> unbust it

20:40 <midfavila> if i wasnt a brainlet i would

20:40 <midfavila> alas

21:39 <ilt> sewn: hi

23:00 <midfavila> what rss/atom readers do you guys use if any?

23:00 <midfavila> i'm thinking of checking out sfeed

23:02 <midfavila> looking through all of the old packages i used on kiss and replacing some with lighter-weight options

23:13 <phoebos> midfavila: i use sfeed, it's the most flexible

23:14 <phoebos> see start.html, startpage.sh, sfeedrc under http://tmp.bvnf.space/ for an example

23:21 <midfavila> ye that's what it seemed like to me

23:21 <midfavila> the most unixy of the available options

23:22 <midfavila> i was looking at https://github.com/pimterry/notes too

23:22 <midfavila> for "knowledgebase management", i think is the hip term

23:23 <midfavila> i'm working on putting together a toolkit for the new distro that i can stitch together exactly once and have work consistently no matter where i install it

23:30 <midfavila> https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-plugins-prpl

23:30 <midfavila> miminalism achieved
