 I could have written this, or most of it. I don't know if it helps
 knowing you're not alone...

 The Trinity users list is becoming my entire social life. I also wonder
 if maybe this is not healthy. On the other hand, fewer and fewer people
 "out there" seem to be really sane; and when I must use their computers,
 this worries me even more.

 When I was mostly offline for a few days, trying to migrate from Debian
 to Devuan, I got 44 emails, of which 43 were from the TDE mailing list.

 Tomorrow, at any rate, I shall try to make it downstairs, past the front 
 desk,

  beyond the ice machine, and to go outdoors, maybe
even as far as the
 library and the farmers market. Also, I need coffee.

 Bloody hell mate. You're out of coffee?

 I had just enough to get my 2-cup dose on Sunday morning, then it was out to 
 find some more. I can always walk to a cafe or bakery on my street, or go to 
 the corner shop to buy some; but then it's expensive. If I want to get it at 
 a decent price, it means an expedition. But now my stock is replenished, and 
 ought to last me until the first week of next month.
