Hello Meino, perhaps this will help: https://github.com/maxrp/profanity-overlay Profanity is a great client IMO. There's another called Jackline (written in OCaml) that is pretty cool and supports OTR too. -- 0x7D964D3361142ACF On Sun, Apr 17, 2016, at 02:20, meino.cra...@gmx.de wrote: > Hi, >

I think the paper on Intel issues Mick is referring to is the one I linked not too long ago: http://blog.invisiblethings.org/papers/2015/x86_harmful.pdf It seems like you're looking for something like the EFF's "surveillance self-defense"[1] site but with some stuff specific to Gentoo. [1]:

Do I understand correctly that you're looking to set up a Gentoo server as a "hub" from which you can retrieve your mail using any of your client systems? If I understood correctly, interoperability should be easy because mostly it comes down to IMAP/SMTP/POP3 and support for those protocols is

Wow, sounds like you've been having a rough time. I think if you chunk things up into tiny pieces of logs, and take the issues on one at a time, you will be able to solve your problems. That said, if you would like to send us the last month or so of your emerge.log, we might be able to help focus

It seems like SGX is intertwined with the Intel Management Engine, Chapter 4 in Joanna Rutkowska's "Intel x86 considered harmful"[1] (pp. 35) goes in-depth on the potential issues with Intel ME. That same book has some light discussion on SGX (pp. 20) but it seems like, if you are concerned about
