I always suspected a UK government would eventually reverse course on "coding in public".
So I've been backing up all government code. For six years.
Today I finally generated a report on what has been deleted. Its much worse than I realised.

@suricrasia your posts look so good with your instance theme. sucks that fedi doesn't preserve that onto timelines.

@toiletpaper Yeah, honestly I think I'll just set up a client from scratch that does reading/sending with all the backends I need. It's unfortunate this sort of setup isn't more "standard" but it makes sense given the history of email.
@toiletpaper I see. I think s-nail is pretty much a more recent version of the same interface. It's bundled with arch which I use on most of my boxes these days. https://man.archlinux.org/man/mail.1.en
@toiletpaper I'm using tdsr but really any CLI that has minimal output and doesn't do a TUI should be fine. e.g. if it outputs raw content to STDOUT I should be able to hear it without issues. Stuff like loading indicators and line numbers is what messes me up.
Also I need to somehow integrate with Microsoft and Google mail since I use them for work. 😅 From what I understand, that's a major PITA.
@toiletpaper Hmm, mail might do the trick. In my case I can't use TUIs because I'm interfacing through a terminal screen reader and dynamic rendering messes with its readback.
By mail you mean s-nail? Do you know of any tutorials for doing a complete setup with it?
@toiletpaper Sending mail I think is the easier part, although doing the configuration is IMO a major pain in the butt still (compared to graphical interfaces). What do you use to read the mail back? I find the split between sending/loading/reading to be a bit overwhelming.

@nasser I've found Krita is less shit and still open source.

@nasser you lookin for alternatives by any chance?
