I guess if you really,really want to use eww on that machine, you
could install gnutls-cli in your home directory somewhere, and
persuade emacs to use it instead of the built-in support (either by
explicitly disabling gnutls when configuring or by overriding
`gnutls-available-p'). Donʼt use the resulting emacs for anything
important, though 🙂
