As a Mint user who just starting test-driving Arch: once you get through the installation the switch isn’t at all difficult. Now,t hat having been said, the installation can have some frustrating moments depending on how you go about it.

The world is genuinely unprepared for a situation that can’t be resolved by throwing money at it. You’re doing the right/smart thing in doing the part you can do. Thank you for that food for thought.

I work in media and marketing and I’d love to discuss the possibilities. Cool if I message you?

Good to know, thanks for the heads up!

Oh wow. Thank you for the heads up. I will look into this right now.

All great projects–I actually run a nonprofit that refurbishes old computers and devices and gives them away to folks who need them. I’m glad to see someone else thinking along the same lines!

Once again my life is hampered by the fact that I do not live in Australia . . .

I’d love to hear more about the watering system!

God bless you for keeping the local pollinators going and for supporting your local ecosystem in the face of an HOA. I’d love to hear more about this if you’d like to get in touch directly.

I like them odds, keep us posted!

If I lived closer I’d volunteer to help just to see this beautiful insanity come together. I like the “wheels” work around!

That is a great idea! My house’s roof bakes in the sun all day and I’ve been looking for options.

One wonders what automating the child production process would look like . . .

I’m aging along and I can remember the “old” internet, including the wild-and-wooly IRC/BBS days. It was a much freer space and I’d love to see it regain its Wild West character.

I think there’s a generational issue at work, however: the internet is no longer cool or subversive. For most folks under about 35, it’s just another appliance.
