“Storm of Steel” by Ernst Jünger, for one view from the German side. It has been variously perceived as pro- and anti-war.

> By contrast, the researchers found no meaningful sex difference in stroke risk; men and women reached similar stroke incidence at nearly the same ages. Heart failure also showed little difference early on, but men had a slightly higher incidence rate by age 65.

With the luxury of time, investing in oneself can be done in novel ways, e.g. flying or ocean sailing, triathlon, surfing, craftsmanship, golf.

Cherry pick chapters like those on the Shell and AWK, and avoid those on troff, macros etc unless specifically interested.
Surely: Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) ?

... a tenderpreneur is a person in government who abuses their
political power and influence to secure government tenders and

and "entrepreneur".
I enjoy using console vimdiff in PuTTY, because my configuration allows quick navigation without too much thought.
The accumulated time for starting vim can become annoying when iterating over many files. (I could investigate loading diff pairs into tabs if I was sufficiently bothered.)
Helpful .vimrc settings:-
Firstly, map some keys to navigate to preceding/successive differences...
" Next/ previous diff (analogous to j/k, use the same fingers)
nmap <F6> ]czt
nmap <F7> [czt
" Diff update, i.e. repaint the screen when needed
nmap <F5> :diffupdate<CR>
" Get from Buffer 1/ 2/ 3/ 4
nmap <F1> :diffget 1<CR>
nmap <F2> :diffget 2<CR>
nmap <F3> :diffget 3<CR>
nmap <F4> :diffget 4<CR>
" Apply window-local settings to all diff windows
au! FilterWritePost * if &diff | set wrap | set foldcolumn=0 | set nofoldenable | endif
" Override the diff colours

TLDR:-
1. Decades of intensifying international isolation over RSA's political climate.
2. RSA's growing reliance on international short-term loans in 1980s, leading to balance of payments crisis.
3. Threat and introduction of economic sanctions by international community.
4. ... Leading to increasing economic costs to industry and individuals, which reduced internal support for Apartheid amongst South Africa's elite.
5. Coincidental fall of the Soviet Union, leading to the West's reduced support of RSA against revolutionary front-line states.
(Not to discount the struggle for equality amongst non-white South Africans, embodied by Mandela and others.)
EDIT: Clarity
On Solaris hosts, including locked-down "production", I use SCCS to version my dot-files because it's available by default. For development I use SVN (old too by today's standards).
I don't advocate using these old tools over modern alternatives; however I find their simplicity in the above cases to be beneficial.
I can access the box from other hosts with tramp. I believe that firewall rules will be changed to restrict many production SSH connections to be outbound, which might signal the end of that use case(?)
Other editors found on the production box: ed, xedit (X Consortium).
I manually start clink by running "install_dir\clink inject" in a cmd session and this procedure works correctly. Problems arise when running the same command in a cmd session in Console2. The Console2 process disappears (crashes?) after approx 1 sec, then 10s later the clink executable disappears. Strange behaviour and I may simply drop this and perhaps try again in future once the tool(s) have matured.
I hadn't used either Console2 or clink before now; I can get by without them as I'm not a rabid user of the Windows command line. I'll likely casually experiment with them separately.
