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

I very much enjoy the fact that he is Greek in origin and lives an austere life, spending his free time teaching and writing philosophy. Haven’t seen much of that in 2500 years.

As an emacs user and future philosopher-in-the-mountains, Prot is a great inspiration.
