I lived with 2.7KBPS

- News, phlogs, Wikipedia, translation services -> Gopher or Gemini, gopher://magical.fish and gemini://gemi.dev plus gopher://sdf.org and Bongusta Phlogs. It's magical.

- IRC or IRC+Bitlbee -> IM, Jabber, IRC, most protocols

- Email -> Mbsync+msmtp + mutt. Caching helps there

- Usenet -> Slrn+Slrnpull, it has tech groups, caching and there's a web news discuss group too

- SSH -> Mosh
