I could find no way to ensure that GOOGLE would not embed HTML,
so I am doing this in MUTT. I love MUTT for short email notes, but for this
newsletter/summary it is tedious. The original email standard was simple text only,
no style, no graphics, no colr, just text. Then we got fancy.

I truly hope KDEPIM developers either fix up Akonadi for good one time or
base KMail on a better working framework. Cause KMail otherwise is one of
the best mail programs I have seen so far. It is painful to see how much
it still suffers from reliability issues in Akonadi, even though Akonadi
nowadays is more reliable than it was in a long time.

Mostly retired now, so I almost NEVER need to carry laptops with me. That said,
I did HATE to carry two, as I did for one company I worked for.
One for working at the client sites, and one for connecting into the corporate VPN.

I get that. Floorp is now my daily driver, as it uses everything I need form Mozilla only faster and easier.
I keep Firefox current "just in case" and to do some things where floorp is climbsy.

TOR I use when I need to access certain servers inthe UK, EU, Africa, and certain countries in South america.
I no longer use any Russian sites, but there was a time.....
Most of Asia is now out of my list also, but if I needed a site in China.....
That is all a story for offline some day when I am terribly bored.

> What do you use Gemini for?
I do not use gemini myself, but there are many gemini pages. It reminds me of htmp1.1, or really more of the old ARCHIE servers.
It makes the pages load insanly fast.
I have the home page for my gemini browser set to an index site. Search engines still ignore gemini pages, so far.
That is probably a GOOD thing.

I do indeed. I have it installed everywhere that gcc will install.

It is, although not quite as fast as advertised on most of my (slow) hardware.

Interesting. Is it self-compiling?
