TIL that I no longer need to worry with launching ssh-agent automagically in case it isn’t already running in the background using the following hack:

if [ -f ~/.ssh/agent.env ] ; then
    . ~/.ssh/agent.env > /dev/null
    if ! kill -0 $SSH_AGENT_PID > /dev/null 2>&1; then
        echo "Stale agent file found. Spawning a new agent. "
        eval `ssh-agent | tee ~/.ssh/agent.env`
        ssh-add
    fi
else
    echo "Starting ssh-agent"
    eval `ssh-agent | tee ~/.ssh/agent.env`
    ssh-add
fi

There’s probably a better way: Howto: auto-start ssh-agent with systemd on Debian Bullseye.

It has been purged on several occasions, depending on my mood and succesive jobs (e.g., rstats and stats stuff has been severely impacted in the past 6 years). It targets Newsboat, so all you have to do is put this file in your $HOME/.config/newsboat directory. Tags are not always very accurate, as the original posters may have changed their posts over time.

Website’s look’n feel should now respect your system color theme. Dark theme heavily inspired from the Nord color palette of course. Last thing to fix is transparent background images.
