I recently learned that Hamburg had a big tube system ("Großrohrpost"). The tube diameter was 45cm and the length of the wagons was 1,60m.
Some information in the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohrpost_in_Hamburg#Gro%C3%9Fr...
Recent article (paywalled) on German news site: https://www.zeit.de/2023/37/grossrohrpost-hamburg-kommunikat...

According to this page [1], they do use external sources (Google, Mojeek, Yandex and more), but not Bing ;)
They also have their (two) own indexes.
Tbh, for me (as small town dev) it feels like magic how fast those different sources are combined, additionally with user search preferences like raising or blocking certain domains. Insides welcome :)
Edit: Here [2] are some benchmarks and general strategies they pursue. Would love to read more details.

Reminds me of Hellvetica. Unfortunately, the website is gone, but the Internet Archive has saved us this gem:

> xclip, read from and write to the clipboard in the command line
There's wl-clipboard with the commands wl-copy and wl-paste: https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard
Works flawless in my experience.

Another keyboard for this use case is Unexpected Keyboard [1]. I opted for this one, because Hacker's Keyboard seems to be in maintenance mode (sure, not necessarily an issue, but see the warning in the readme [2]).

The readme contains this section:
https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot#user-content-configuration
There's also a template in the repo:
https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/src/branch/master/foot.ini
So, looks like one has to just set the font in the config file ;)
