I don't mind. May even be better, since you get WiFi.

The hard part is the casing/keyboard/screen that replicates the original, but offers modern connectors, power consumption, etc.

I admit it, I don't miss the weight of the CRT screen, but the rest was amazing.

I would love to have a VT220 replica: same size/feeling, a real keyboard, just text. I would even be fine with RS232, but tbh USB or WiFi would make my life much easier.

Is anyone selling something like this?

No more /tmp/aaaa

Stash lets you stash away piped data or files, manage them and retrieve them. It's built to fit nicely in command line workflows.

A totally predictable pattern shows more entropy than a randomly generated one. I would love to hear from people who have better and deeper understanding of the topic.

New comment by vrypan in "Hey does not support IMAP and that's its most important feature"

vrypan — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 17:35:23 +0000

And now that I think of it. IMAP (more or less) allows you to download your mbox file. Why downloading using HTTP is so much worst (it isn't) than using IMAP?
