Fair point. Mostly price, you can get one for like 100€. I also feel like the used market is more fair than buying new, so there’s that.

LAN party!! You have the optimal excuse to make one happen ;)

Honestly, when my current laptop dies, I will just get a used cheap thinkpad just like anybody else or even SSD any trash-going relic. If you want some alternative, someone commented this that looked interesting: https://mntre.com/reform.html

Although it comes with obvious limitations: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/is-the-mnt-reform-the-best-repairable-laptop-available/113321

Yes… But sadly no? First example that comes to mind, you can check “dhh blog” on the internet (🤮) and if you read enough you will get to see the kind of person he is… You can also check this about Hyprland: https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html

I mean, when the political stance of the supported company is “I would literally murder you of I could” the politics become kinda relevant 🥲

Yes, and in fact I am collaborating in a neighborhood project for the implementation of a local ISP. Obviously you are right, with the way the internet is built it is inevitable to depend on some centralized systems out of reach, I cannot lay a submarible cable xD. But other than in cases of absolute need, where there is really no alternative, I want an internet more like it was before I was born, just people communicating using local infra, not Internet Monsantos

Never used it nor never will, I want my infra to be as independant as possible, and also fuck internet centralisation and fuck corpos

“I have my own Netflix and Google Drive and Spotify etc etc”

Good

Yeah, sometimes its not practical avoiding certain projects (see fucking JavaScript), but promoting and funding is a major barrier and red flag…

Offtopic, but whats up with the cyrilic looking character you are using? Is it to fuck with bots or something else entirely?

Impressive 😏

Can I ask what smart plugs and Zigbee antenna you are using? We are about to do the same, so it would be great to get something already tested ^^

I built this for my personal use: https://git.prisma.moe/aichan/simple_web_editor
