I found that keeping it current on my Slackware box had become too much of a burden.
Synopsis of a sci-fi short story telling of the dangers of over-relying on machines.
TLA+ is a high-level language for modeling programs and systems--especially concurrent and distributed ones. It's based on the idea that the best way to describe things precisely is with simple mathematics.
How to water your plant "without" a Gemini client:
echo "gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us:1965/app/plant/water" | openssl s_client --connect "astrobotany.mozz.us:1965" -cert $CERTDIR/cert.pem -key $CERTDIR/key.pem -crlf -quiet -ign_eof
... a thriving community focused on building truly high-quality software. We're not low-level in the typical sense. Instead we realize that to write great software, you need to understand things on a deeper level.
[Gemini is] the tech version of "my own web with blackjack and hookers and no Homers allowed."

FreeBSD RELEASE is intended for end-users, not STABLE, so I chose the wrong distro for the Pi. Grrr.
