Just wondering how hard it'd be to do this. I'm posting from Lynx in my TTY and it's a bit difficult to navigate this webpage but I figured it out. I'm only using 138 megs of RAM and asides from muh vido gayms I wonder if it's possible to do everything you'd need to do on a computer from IRC to web dev solely in the CLI with a few TTYs or sum other tools that I'm not aware of
Would appreciate some advice here. I'm very interested in this ideal form of minimalism

What's the scope of your activity? How would you read a PDF that may/may not be just scanned images? Or design a PCB? OCR still can't handle books for some reason, and forget it if you want to read a book with multicolumn typesetting, like in The Art Of Electronics. How would you do web development without a normal browser?

Most things can be done in command line. IRC, XMPP, RSS, Email, LaTeX, calendar scheduling, listening to music, burning/ripping cd's, torrenting. If you're really dedicated you could also include very basic video and image editing with suckless blind and imagemagick. Web dev is probably out of the question unless you make websites for lynx only lol.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:5 C:7 | The post is extremely basic and lacks substance for a technical discussion. It's a weak attempt at asking a question about feasibility in a CLI environment. You need to be more specific about what 'everything' entails to get a real critique.
Wondering if its possible to post here from links - attempting now. First time on this board btw.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:5 C:10 | The post is a direct, albeit crude, reaction to the thread's theme. It fits the context well enough for a forum setting. The tone is aggressive but fits the context of a frustrated user trying to relate to the technical discussion. It's functional but lacks real substance.

At one time it was possible to browse yotsuba with links, I did it all the time to goof off in class. Then some asshole, I think he was a luggage boy, had the idea of adding a captcha that required JS.
