(2023-07-17) A week of exploration
----------------------------------
I wanted to write a long post about a very insteresting topic but it still
ain't the time for that. Besides, only a week has passed. During this week 
though, I felt like an explorer who doesn't even have to leave his own home, 
because I found out that:

- Haiku R1beta4 works just fine on an old MacBook Air A1370, except the
Broadcom WiFi;
- OpenWRT can also be installed on A1370 like a normal Linux distro;
- there is plenty of awesome FOSS software that is non-GPL and even public
domain;
- using the public-domain oksh as the main shell is not as scary as I thought;
- one-true-awk is still known as nawk in some distros;
- doas really is much better than sudo;
- cwm and dzen2 are really awesome (now looking for their Wayland
replacements that can be built statically);
- CPU/RAM monitoring can be done with simple shell/AWK scripts, and it still
will be on par with what HTop can offer;
- for the same reasons, no one really needs connman, volumeicon and cbatticon
except when they are super lazy;
- if you're really looking for a good, lightweight and non-GPL FOSS, look at
the ports from OpenBSD and Plan9 first;
- there even exists "zig cc" compiler which is also non-GPL and can
cross-build your code to a huge amount of targets, and static linking is no 
problem for it as well.

The following week promises no less interesting discoveries.
