I am alive (2)
==============

It's been a few months of my absence here. November, December, January
are  long and  dark  in Poland.  Only February  brings  a little  more
sun.  It  knocked me  out  of  my old  habits.  I  fell into  a  daily
routine.  It  wasn't  bad,  including reading  /Treasure  Island/  (by
R. L. Stevenson) to my son in  the evenings. In the evenings there was
no strength  left for anything else.  Only my blog in  Polish remained
active, because writing there requires the least from me.

All of  this would be  a normal, miserable life,  if not for  the fact
that  I finally  landed  in Gophersphere  again.  I started  Bongusta,
Gopher Club, my bookmarks. These  few months in Gophersphere passed as
if unnoticed.  I saw many  posts from  my friends (sure,  not everyone
knows that they are my friends -  but how do you call someone you read
about and know  a little about). I  was very happy about  all of this,
that maybe  I didn't have the  energy for it, but  others persisted in
their habits.

As if that wasn't enough, after my rather minor move in the small net,
an email  appeared for the reliable  Matto. And then, out  of nowhere,
another one from Sampsa. Two emails in the small net, a welcome fit for
a king.

Not everything was so smooth in this landing. Muscle memory allowed me
to  smoothly launch  text  tools such  as vi,  neomutt,  emacs. But  I
noticed that signing email with GPG did  not work for me. It turns out
that  this is  a bug  reported  in 2017  [1] that  reached SDF.org.  I
changed the  pineantry from curse to  tty - it's uglier,  but it works
now. By the way, I remind you of my previous struggles with GPG and my
short fix list for SDF.org [2].
