                        Solene's challenge
                        ------------------

  During      The      Old      Computer      Challenge,     see
  https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2021-07-07-old-computer-
  challenge.html.   
  I  discovered  that  Firefox  requires  a  lot  of  resources.

                            No Firefox
                            ----------

  I am using an old Acer Aspire One ZG5  for  the  challenge,  a
  machine  that  in  the past I used as my workstation. In those
  days I could use Firefox on it.

  But now that is impossible, because it requires  too  much  of
  RAM and CPU power.

  For  most  things, that is not that important.  F.e., the RSS-
  feeds I follow are of websites that can be opened  in  w3m  or
  eww.

  But  for some  things, a graphical web browser is needed, like
  for Mastodon and Pleroma.

                             Toot Tui
                             --------

  Toot is a Python text mode Mastodon client / Pleroma client.

  It works great, but sometimes you really want to see an  image
  or open the URL that is mentioned in a toot.

  With  the help of anthk on Libera.chat I came to the following
  script in $HOME/bin

    #!/bin/sh

    tmux new-window /usr/local/bin/links -g "$@"

  This works great

  Of course, you could also use /usr/local/bin/w3m "$@"

  Set up an environment variabele called "BROWSER" and set this
  to the name of the script, including the path.

  Like:

    export BROWSER=$HOME/bin/open-url-in-links.sh


                         Still having fun
                         ----------------

  Well, that is it.

  I still am having fun with  this  old  little  8.9  inch  Acer
  Aspire.

  Have fun!
