A lot of the digital stuff I read on fedi strengthens my beliefs in permacomputing: (also) tech and approaches you have full, or almost full, agency on.

@bitzero sounds like a vote in favor of owning baremetal systems, situated in an accessible datacenter. no hyperscaler influence, no concerns about unexpected changes to SLA or EULA, and no problems with enshitification of service.

@winterschon
Exactly. And the step further: having bare metal systems also at your home/office, for applications that don’t need datacenter-level redundancies.

Your little pet datacenter that will serve you well also post-collapse, when you will be the tech shaman of your community. But this is another story

@tara @bitzero TIL about elinks, it looks awesome!
