<midfavila>rip me
<midfavila>do any of you know if there's a pax implementation that could theoretically also provide the system's tar?
<midfavila>i'd like to replace libarchive if possible
<midfavila>mir's pax seems like a possible hit
<sewn>midfavila: what's wrong with libarchive
<riteo>midfavila: not sure if we're talking about the same pax but I remember that the oasis linux fella made a pax impl
<riteo>also ye what's wrong with libarchive
<midfavila>nothing strictly wrong with libarchive i'm just looking for something smaller
<midfavila>i really only use libarchive for tar and i suppose pm
<midfavila>but i'd like to try patching pm to use either compress or zlib
<midfavila>also ye mir pax provides tar
<midfavila>will have to peek at oasis' one
<riteo>nice
<midfavila>i'm just trying to make my custom distro as small as possible ig
<riteo>always looked like a great thing, too bad it was never quite advertised anywhere
<midfavila>and i'd like to start experimenting again
<midfavila>oasis, you mean?
<riteo>the pax impl
<midfavila>aah
<riteo>like, you can't tell if it's actually done either
<riteo>but seems to work IIRC
<midfavila>will have to compare and contrast
<midfavila>tbqh i would use suckless tar but it's still busted afaik
<sewn>unbust it
<midfavila>if i wasnt a brainlet i would

<midfavila>what rss/atom readers do you guys use if any?
<midfavila>i'm thinking of checking out sfeed
<midfavila>looking through all of the old packages i used on kiss and replacing some with lighter-weight options
<phoebos>midfavila: i use sfeed, it's the most flexible
<phoebos>see start.html, startpage.sh, sfeedrc under http://tmp.bvnf.space/ for an example
<midfavila>ye that's what it seemed like to me
<midfavila>the most unixy of the available options
<midfavila>i was looking at https://github.com/pimterry/notes too
<midfavila>for "knowledgebase management", i think is the hip term
<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
