That's similar to my setup but under an Atom n270 netbook: - Zram, useful for SBCL using 2GB of stack. - CWM+Xclock+slock. - UXTerm+ksh+TMux - Links and "links -g" for image heavy sites, but often I just call sxiv with typing "i" while I'm at the image link. - Sfeed+links with no cookies. Few sites: HN, Slashdot, some GNU sites, The Conversation. I avoid international news sites, http://68k.news http://68k.news it's more than enough for a quick glance on major issues in the planet. - Gopher/Gemini with cgmnlm, with gopher://magical.fish as a good starting portal with useful services like torrent searching and, sometimes, news. Gopher blogs have tons of tech/science/math content not found anywhere else. - I used to run lynx against gopher://gopherddit.com, but gemini against gemini://gemi.dev it's perfect. Yes, RSS, but I can read the local newspapaper over gemini by proxying the web page and save lots of bandwith, up to 95% if not more. Also, the local newspaper cuts down the RSS content. - Mocp - Nchat/Catgirl for TG/IRC. - Custom ebook reader, for the ones without pics. - MuPDF (graphical ebooks/PDF's). - MPV+yt-dlp. - Sxiv (pics) - Mutt+msmtp+mbsync - Tut for mastodon - SBCL (Common Lisp) + rlwrap. - Slrn - MC, for fast documentation reading. - Luakit for "emergencies": goverment pages with JS. Launched every few months and that's it. On USB media, as long as you don't put local data on it, a system like Slax with a Linux Libre kernel would be very trustable and reliable: https://www.slax.org/#getslax https://www.slax.org/#getslax Swap out the propietary kernel with Linux-Libre if your hardware supports it.
