       I'm not gonna remember this to do the whole thing, but my contribution to #FreeSoftwareAdvent is xterm.No frills, no whistles, no transparency, no tabs. No needless ram consumption!It's just a fracking terminal emulator, and nothing else.

       @nuintari Oh, 100% agreed — I'm also using xterm for some administrative tasks, like manipulations with jails or bhyve VMs, or simply updating the system. It just works and eats only 20 MB of RAM and 0.03 % of CPU, lol.BTW, during my presentation about X11, I received some commentary about xterm is the "slow terminal". How do "all cool kids in the school" measures speed of the terminal now?I tried to type dmesg and all output scrolled to the end almost instantly🤷#xterm #terminal
