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
urxvt*color9: #ff8442
urxvt*color10: #84ff84
urxvt*color11: #efef60
urxvt*color13: #b2aae1
urxvt*color14: #33eeff
urxvt*color15: #ffffff
urxvt*scrollColor: #5c9aef
urxvt*borderColor: #00204b
urxvt*cursorColor: #d1edff

> Anti-aliased font

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.

How are cron jobs going to run on a turned-off computer?

> It is friendly

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.)
