Why I use old hardware

And here I am, using nmh and exmh under CWM. With vimb + a host file, or plain Links+. IRSSI + Bitlbee for the rest. XMP to play some inspiring tunes. I only use 1.20G of RAM while using cached I/O . That minus the cache, is 185MB, according to vmstat.

You’re lucky. I could run so lean if I didn’t need to read emails using outlook and use Skype for business + slack for communicating with colleagues.

I’ve tried replacing slack with the wee-slack plugin for weechat but, while it works it’s far from a fully working solution and I still need to spin up a slack client sometimes.

Can't you use Thunderbird + Lightning? The RAM usage may be less.
