Why have you fallen out of love to suckless? I recently switched from dwm back to bspwm and I was also looking for a st replacement, but couldn't find one. Which is ok, but were you able to find something "better" in the terminal emulator or window manager space?

I wanted/tried to be a part of the community. I could say I was not a cultural fit.

As much as I sympathize with cutting things down and making frugal software I am too messy to make it all work for my advantage. I now prefer to mix and match and not attaching myself to any group. But I am fond of the actual code. It is refreshingly simple and easy to track. I was using dwm the most from all of the projects and I still think of going back to it. Though currently I'm getting tired of software all together.

The fact that they're frickin' Nazis might have something to do with it: https://mobile.twitter.com/kuschku/status/115648842041336217...
I'm just a dumb American, but are torch hikes something only Nazis do? I've never heard of them.
Why not ask the local Klu Klux Klan chapter in your neighbourhood? They have a "fine" tradition of conducting such hikes.

Most recent example - Charlottesville?

It's not just the torch hikes, though those are strongly associated with Nazis, neo-Nazis, and American white supremacists.

It's also the naming of their mail server after Hitler's hidden base in Poland, and the railing against "cultural marxism" (itself a Nazi trope). Taken together, these things should register as "yep, probably a Nazi" even if one of them alone wouldn't.

> are torch hikes something only Nazis do?

No. Here in France they are sometimes organized as local events, sometimes they're used to --- surprise --- protest. We also have "descente aux flambeaux" (downhill skying with torches.)
