@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange Really: Macos. Ideally: Haiku. If I was insane: Plan9.

@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange I've had great fun imagining a machine which natively interprets Pushdown Non-deterministic Finite Automata. That is: EBNF. Give me one of those for my exile! Though I've got no drive to exile myself from civilization, I don't see the point in striking out on my own... That said, I do like Lua...

@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange Here it's probably going to be a bastardized NetBSD and probably more 9front and Haiku. (With whatever hardware I have lying around)

@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange some kind of FORTH on a Z180, trying to explain to passing business people that this will 100% browse and edit structured data and run reports more securely and reliably than what they're using

@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange Really tough. I want the log cabin, and I can take or leave OpenBSD, but I think I'd want to get away from the PC platform. However, I think you've hit on something with the pairing: a PC is ordinary, everyman, necessarily unpretentious. Not that you can't have a bougie cabin (chalet, anyone?), but that doesn't sound like what's on offer.

@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange Normally, I would have picked OpenBSD on a Compaq Pentium in a log cabin, but the allure of A/UX on a Quadra 700 is irresistable (I own a Quadra 650 that I'm looking to get A/UX on, btw...)
