- listening to tilderadio and anonradio with mpv or mpg123.
- toffeesha.re not working in arcticfox. used work computer for it
- ram is 1.2G. not limiting because don't feel like it.
  maybe could put to use the extra 700M somehow?
- thought about posting to tilde.news, but soapdog did already. good.

- posted about the challenge to tilde.town bbj.
- relying on work computer for calendar. may look into using evolution or
  command-line calendar software.
- peertube no work in arcticfox. maybe could work in mpv or something
- vertical bars in this LCD make reading IRC more difficult
  because of white text on black background.
- installed noto-fonts-emoji (void pkg) for viewing emoji in claws mail
- curl https://celehner.com/2021/07/oldcomp/day2-neofetch.ansi
- noisy fans. even when set CPU governor to powersave.
- no suspend. feels wasteful leaving house with computer running like i would
  usually with laptop, fans running constantly.
- x86 old computer could suspend. but i picked this ppc one.
- no nodejs for ppc, so still have ssb server on modern computer, using
  patchfoo in dillo with http forwarded through ssh.
- the old computer challenge i should be doing is to install the imac g3 power
  supply i got on ebay a few months ago for repair. but i probably won't have
  time, considering my weekend is now up.
- i'm writing this as text files not because of compute limitations but because
  of writing limitation and time constraint (wanting to go to sleep)
- copied pgp keyring
- have encrypted root partition on this computer, with unlocking in grub.
  set up a few months ago.
- other hardware info: onboard audio not working, although it has worked before
  in debian. i'm using a usb audio adapter and that works fine.
- onboard broadcom wifi works but not very well - has trouble connecting to my
  home network. so i'm using a usb wifi adapter, from thinkpenguin.
- hard disk is a 256GB m.2 stick, in a IDE adapter from aliexpress.
- still setting up ssh authorized keys
- trying to get more organized with dotfiles in git repos. i used to use a
  dotfile repo but then stopped and just did things manually.
- using dillo-zet, with zet directory in dotfiles.

- reading in IRC channel what other people are doing and using for rss feeds
- asking in IRC about calendar software recommendations
- responses on sdf.org were that the spec limitations or bar for what is "old
  computer" are considered different there.
- started trying to port PopCorn client to C from Go.
  PopCorn is a software popularity contest software package for  Void Linux.
