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 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.

Pretty much my life :) (there eye problem I have for >1year).
I miss programming and feeling like a god creating my little, meaningful
universe.

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)
