That is just the gateway drug to bootstrapping.

if you want the real hard stuff.

you just probably want something better.

and that is the problem building higher performance requires more advanced lithography and that is expensive and until recently was not even an option for a hobbyist (without taking a mortgage on their house).

Given current stagnation, you need only wait about 10 years for that viable option.

I refuse to use a terminal emulator that needs more than 100MB of RAM to display 80x24 green text on a black display

checksums at the filesystem level does nothing to protect against memory corruption which can overwrite everything on your disk with null values and a matching checksum; fail to write anything to disk and/or do nothing.

But that is the gamble you take every day with every GB of RAM you have.

No ECC, absolutely worthless for a NAS if you care about your data.

The missing bit is social action, which no amount of software can solve.

The solution is make forming healthy human relationships easier. As a supportive community will quickly spread good ideas and novel perspectives and help fill in gaps in understanding. The only problem is I don’t know how to do that at a global scale. And the new places where that seems to occur tend to have connections to already healthy communities like the Free Software Foundation and the GNU project.

Rules like the GPLv3 tend to result in forking of groups but that ultimately enables healthier communities as the thing they are based around are now something they can take control of personally and move in the direction they want.

in software these days it is: good, cheap or fast; pick one (if you are lucky [usually things are just bad, expensive and slow as f&*k])

Well the minimal bars for electronics is:

0 - The repair manual exists and is readily available with full schematics of the item in question.

1 - Replacement parts are available for purchase.

2 - Compatible replacement parts are made by 2 or more 3rd party companies

3 - Designs for replacement parts are available

4 - Local maker space is able to make the needed replacement parts.

If you can’t get level 0, you probably shouldn’t buy it if you expect to keep it working for life.

tragic that people so desperate to see gave up the control they needed to ensure that their new vision can be preserved. Respect your freedom hardware and Free as Freedom software for the blind!!!
