   Easier to just do shit in .Xdefaults or .Xresources or whichever the `xrdb -merge` line wants in your ~/.xinitrc.
   
   Here's what I've got and it's a matter of taste but most of the colors except the foreground/background were done by manually tuning them while trying to read the screen of a T60 (terribly underpowered backlight) in direct sunlight in Los Angeles; your mileage may vary:
   
   *font: 6x13
   urxvt*background: #000008
   urxvt*foreground: #fff8e0
   urxvt*color4: #0072ff
   urxvt*color12: #1082ff
   urxvt*color1: #ff2222
   urxvt*color2: #00ee00
   urxvt*color3: #bb8833
   urxvt*color5: #706c9a
   urxvt*color6: #00aabb
   urxvt*color7: #fff8e0
   urxvt*color8: #444444

   I moved this one because it is kind of related. I can write code when I'm too drunk to walk, right, but I probably would not be able to if I were unable to read the text. What constitutes "readable" is obviously subjective but "the edges of letters are not blurry" is somewhat more objective. Here are some files that I keep losing track of and have now put into a directory called "fontshit"; your mileage may vary.

   This usually means it second-guesses you or tries to do "helpful" things without an understanding of where you're going (and thus no understanding of what's relevant to bother you with).
   
   (Actually have been considering doing something like "$home/bin/the-hell-was-that" on the Plan 9 box. The idea is it just reads /dev/text and sends the last ~4kB to a clanker, an even more lazy substitute for "copy and paste the error message into a search engine".)

   I'm pretty sure it could be ported to a system that works.

   The entire point of RAID is that it's self-healing (to an extent) so they all are. Last time I checked, their shit still falls over if you stress it. (I use extremely normal shit for filesystems. I do not mind using self-patched builds of weird shit as long as it does what I want, but I don't use anything remotely unusual for filesystems because that's my goddamn data.)
   
   Also the ruler file used in the "Il1O0" screenshots:
