That you primarily know of Tavis from his FVWM config and not his security work is really weird.

- anthk 7y agoWell, most people know Assange from politics and I knew him better from being the Surfraw author. To each its own, I suppose.
- asveikau 7y agoI thought so too, but then I saw the screenshot, and it's a pretty nice looking fvwm setup.
- anthk 7y agoIt's one of the best FVWM setups ever. I am not trolling, he was cheered a lot back in the day, everyone adapted its config somehow.
- asveikau 7y ago> back in the day, everyone adapted its config somehow. Yeah I know, although I don't remember coming across Tavis's config I did live through those heady days of customizing window managers and remember them with fondness. [Although that screenshot has emails dated 2006, which puts it well after that culture had peaked.] I actually started using fvwm2 again recently on one of my machines, I am not sure why, maybe I had some nostalgia for that time period.
- anthk 7y agoI had a tweaked fvwm2 from OpenBSD's vanilla setup, but nowadaws the less code I type and debug, the better. That's why I use cwm and I almost never code in C or strip unneded settings, everything else is scripted with good enough performance. Back in the day I patched dwm and then Surf to enable WebGL among other nice stuff thanks to gobject being brain-damagedly easy. Nowadays I am too lazy: cwm, tmux, mpg123, mpv+ytdl, vimb/iridium, UBo, Vimium, HTTPS ev, Priv badger, and I call it a day.
