   Most providers are 200-400 mS from here, depending on location, and yes, when   
   flicking through messages, I do notice that.

   That sounds quite useful!  As I said, I use ZeroTier, which makes me   
   effectively a part of my home network.  Static (private) IPv4 and IPv6   
   addressing and no need to worry about NAT timeouts or NAT itself.  It "just   
   works". :)  But I can see a lot of uses for Shell in a Box, because it uses   
   HTTPS.

   Fair enough, but the idea of compiling it doesn't give me any cause for   
   concern.  If I need to, I suspect I'll have no issues.   
      
      
   ... A bird in the hand's better than one overhead.
