Und was habe ich heute gemacht?
Unter anderem #Leafnode und #slrn installiert.
Ach ja, nebenbei noch rausgefunden, warum die Kugel des Trackballs nicht mehr kugelte. Das Teil hat seit Jahren Staub angesetzt, halt weil die Kugel nicht mehr kugelte.
Eins sollte da ab und an auch mal den Schmodder rausholen.
I wanted to see something new in a daily used apps, I got tired to look at the same layout over and over.
So I changed Mail app layout to match #Usenet, or #FidoNet client, with list on top, content on the bottom. I also tweaked shortcuts for easier navigation and archive messages.
Sure, #elinks isn't built for the modern web, but it serves a purpose. I use #aerc for email, #senpai for irc, #iamb for matrix chat, #slrn for newsgroups and message boards, #ncspot for Spotify, #mpg123 for local media or online radio, and #rbw for my bitwarden client. I really don't need much else. It's not a machine I rely on for serious tasks, but it's covered most of my daily needs. Best of all, without a GUI, it's blazing fast!
I've been enjoying some time on #gopher and #gemini as well.
@pedro #Usenet is using a rather old (but very cool) protocol: #NNTP
It had its high time approx. 90s to mid 00s. I *very* much enjoyed it.
It ticks all the boxes when it comes to #federation and freedom of interface: a number of web-based services, CLI tools like #slrn (mine), #Thunderbird and other GUI-tools.

I hope it'll get popular again so that people who care could forget all web-based #forums including #lemmy:

@mos_8502 I very much welcome a revival of the #Usenet!
This is my preferred fall-back, when #reddit, #HN, #Slashdot and others finally aren't useable any more.
Maybe I'll even think of switching my decade-old (but very fine) #slrn setup to Gnus or another #Emacs-based workflow if I can find out how to sync my state across multiple machines... 🤔
@douglawlor I’ve been using #slrn, but haven’t looked into tin or nn.
#Thunderbird still supports #Usenet too.
