zip: i suppose that `getty` doesn't work for your purpose? :p

it's cute that you think I had a purpose
<zip>
true enough a `getty` with autologin would probably do the job
<zip>
I guess I was kind of trying to understand ptys and ttys a bit as well
<zip>
I also booted freebsd in qemu and attached its virtual serial port to a real serial port and watched it boot from another computer. also silly. very fun.
<zip>
the freebsd bootloader did NOT like it

while I figured out how to do it with bash redirection (it looks a lot like a reverse shell), it's obviously easier with `socat` and the like but there's still stuff you want to do like starting a new session ID and making it the controlling tty, which I assume are implicit if you're faffing with redirection
<zip>
and for a real tty it's vital to `stty` the baud correctly
<sdomi>
ah, nice ^^
<sdomi>
personally, redirections are still one of the things that I need to think harder about to not fsck up
<zip>
it's one of the more arcane bits
