Welcome to Lypanov. Their first post on Gopher.Club [1]
was on Tech Minimalism.  I appreciate their daring yet
mayhap overambitious aspirations of "a world in which
my entire e-life could fit within a tiny network
connected device such as the ESP-32". The struggle is
real, Alex. I feel your pain and I hope you are able to
stay committed to your plans to write more on your
efforts with this vexing topic! I am not sure I will
ever achieve a state of such perfection myself but this
inspired me to outline the Tech-Load in my life.

The "State of My Art" Tech-wise...
!Smart Phone - My cell is dumb. It is a pay-as-you-go
arrangement on the beta network in our area.  It will
call and text. It does have a primitive web browser
that is too expensive to use.

Smart "Phone" - I do own a Samsung Android phone. I got
it at a garage sale for a buck. The previous owner
didn't delete a single bit of personal data off it.
Doofus. I use it as my MP3 player, Camera, and my
platform for Viki (Free Asian Movie/TV Streaming).

Server - The only job of my Acer Aspire One at this
point is serving my Gopher content. It serves HTML too
but uses only socat to do so!

WinBox - I recently bought an Acer Swift for $50US for
my graphical needs, which are minimal.

The Pi - I have a Pi Zero W running Raspbian Buster
Lite (sans GUI) that I use for learning C and tooling
the Net in text mode from CL. (Most of my surfing)
