Durr #12

[loosechanj]

Remind me next time there's an OpenBSD release that doing "pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/*" really does remove everything, including the shells I use. Oops.

Oh, and failing that, don't let me fuck around trying to edit passwd (without vi) and just tell my dumbass you can pkg_add from single user.

Consider that, in Debian, vi(1) would have been a package (probably of Vim), not part of the base install.

You weren't, I hope, foolish enough to change root's shell, were you? (I mean, without building it statically and locating it on /.)

[grumpy-sysadmin.livejournal.com]

Oh, waitwait.

Are you saying Theo was daft enough to move nvi out of the base install?

Bwahahaha...

I mean, I've done plenty of work on various files in /etc with ed(1), but that's always because I broke /usr (or the whole partition table) by doing something else stupid.

No no, it's just that I'm too retarded to get vi to work in single user mode. Then I remembered the second bit.

TERM=vt100

Print this and tape it to your monitor.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

I could swear I tried that. Mebbe I said vt101.

Dur.

I know I've seen that icon a dozen times, but each time it puts me into a trance.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

It's the theme pic for OpenBSD 3.9. But you know that.

[pdx6.livejournal.com]

No no, I was talking about ianthes's icon.

Ah yeah. Uh huh. Mmm, menstrual flow.

[ianthes.livejournal.com]

You must bow to the power of menstruation.
