> Prot - the author - is a pretty incredible guy. He maintains a bunch of nice Emacs packages and themes.

> But maybe even more remarkable: he got kicked out of his flat in Greece, couldn't afford a new place, bought a small plot of land in the mountains and started building a hut from materials he was able to afford or from things neighbours gave him. Really the bare minimum (he often sat in his hut with a jacket in winter cause it wasn't well isolated/heated)

> Absolutely inspiration, all documented on his YouTube channel [https://youtube.com/@protesilaos?si=MnjV7MhKtsT5RDSM](https://youtube.com/@protesilaos?si=MnjV7MhKtsT5RDSM) -- via [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43665046)
