Enough to buy like 512MB of DDR5 RAM maybe

...then I'll just have to learn how to get stuff done with 512MB of RAM.
(I'm sure that browsers like lynx still work just like they did in 2001, and that pine can still read mail. Shouldn't be a problem, right?)

links2 is still a work horse in 2025 for occasional debugging.

I know of links and have used it, but I don't think I've ever used links2.
Am I correct to assume that links2 is more of the same/better?
(Also: Your comment seems perfectly sane, but it was already marked as "flagged" by the time I saw it 18 minutes after it was submitted. I vouched for it.
But I wonder: Whose ruffles did you panty in order for your comments to land this way?)

Naw you'll have to email dang and ask him they have a auto system, I got auto shadow banned once and had to email them, they said I didn't do anything wrong and then restored all my comments. I went like 3 months thinking nobody liked my comments enough to give me an up point. Worth reaching out about their auto mod is sensitive
I'd gather a small amount of that up (however I did that), keep it in an offline wallet, and spend it on VPN service every now and then.
It just seemed like the right way to go about things.
(And then I lost that wallet, because of course I did, with about $14 worth of BTC in it. I didn't care enough at that time to see if I'd backed it up properly; I wasn't planning on using it for anything anymore anyway. That was in 2014 and those backups are waaaay gone now, but it'd be around $2k worth of BTC today -- plenty to buy some DDR5 RAM. Whoopsie-doodle!)
