I ve tried 9front challenge created by sdf.org. I enter to 9front env with drawterm. I did not know that default behaviour is that 9front mount your whole local disk to remote system in /mnt/term.
What do you think did I do a big security problem that I expose my all local files like that? Thanks

My honeywell #terminal is a finnicky beast. Given that it is not in any way vt100 compatible, most modern software won't work very well with it.
It works well enough with the #suckless sic #irc client, and #sdf com also works well enough with it - although the latter sometimes messes it up if someone throws non-ascii characters up in the chat.
sic is about as basic and minimalistic as you can get for an irc client though. It would be nice if I could make use of the terminal's extra features like it's graphics character set (line-drawing characters), bold/light intensity/underlined text, etc,...
I initially tried creating an irssi theme, but there's several things working against me there from making that work:
1) irssi won't run unless i run it in a screen session because it claims the terminal does not support scrolling (it sorta kinda does but probably not in the way irssi wants).
2) If in screen, i have to send extra escape chars in order to talk to the terminal directly (\033P ... term codes ... \033\\)
3) And this is ultimately what killed it: I cannot for the life of me get irssi to send raw terminal escapes by defining them in a theme.
Does anyone know, either, how to define raw escapes in an irssi theme, or of a console irc client that lets me do so? Ideally it should also be capable of stripping colors and unicode from incomming chat (because that will mess it up)
If not, I guess I'll have to write my own client... (I'm reaaaallly trying to avoid taking on another project... )
