  • When I first started out with Linux, I went full ricemode with Arch. For a while I tried running without X, using tmux heavily and browsing with lynx, only starting a specific X server for games.

    You can definitely do it, but especially web browsing is not really feasible. There are tons of curses-like applications like mutt and irssi that work really well, but alas, I ended up going back to i3.

    Still heavily riced, though, using Vim hotkeys wherever possible. For browsing, qutebrowser is fucking sweet!

    This is a problem for any web application. There are many solutions, none are perfect.

    On some sites (like 4chan) you’re required to solve a captcha every single time you post, unless you pay a yearly fee not to.

    To avoid it, you would need people actively monitoring, banning, and setting up bot detection patterns.

    Then again, there are cheap services online where real people are hired to create human accounts and spam you anyway, so…
