I deny non-top-notch anonymity not only because I consider it immoral/unfair to myself, but also because my life depends on it. I've said/made/shared things with solid logic/linked evidence that puts governments and/or corporations in ugliest/darkest/evilest of lights, if that makes sense.. as well as done a few fun things such as denying the law manipulation over my life :). > I host my own and stuff works fine. (Dovecot, fetchmail, neomutt) I am considering running my own suckless e-mail server, but only and only after I make my computers go trough a router/firewall rules to be 100% sure there are no clear-net leaks possible :-). I heard that e-mail software is usually ultra-complex? How hard can it be? suckless.org has 'Mail clients', but I see no 'Mail servers'. What is recommended? > Vim has a nice feature for formatting text, you just visually select block > of text, press Gq and all text is <80c per line. Neomutt even passes some > argument to vim so that it trims lines automatically. Vim is also bloated as hell at over 700000 SLOC (including comments and everything, wc -l).. I'd rather just use pre-installed `vi`.. I did use Vim in the past. I do miss it, that's why I started my own text editor that will be (I hope) as minimalistic as Vi, but as functional as Vim. I seen there's vim-tiny or something? But I don't trust it to be suckless. > It's fairly easy to get really frustrated without even realizing it if > things just don't work and you keep to work around them all the time. Pretty much my life :) (there eye problem I have for >1year). I miss programming and feeling like a god creating my little, meaningful universe. > * Website: https://plch.xyz Damn, you look chill. Share that calmness immediately! I love people having their own web-sites, especially when they self-host, especiallyx2 if it's over a holy-net(such as I2P)
