Hey @oikos
Welcome. Did you check out the cypherpunk homesteading thread? Looks like you’re headed in that direction…
Your produce swap co-op is a really cool idea. Food security and community is key.
So you’re into hardware and electronics. I’d love to get into the hardware side of things because I think it’s imperative that we produce our own hardware. I don’t trust all the shit that’s available to us. How can we say we are anti-surveillance or pro-privacy because we use GOS on a fucking Google device??? I don’t care how secure the OS is, if the hardware is backdoored—which I don’t see why it wouldn’t be—then we’re pissing in the wind. Privacy-by-design from the bottom layer up, not from the top down.
All the best as you close in on a countryside lifestyle. There is nothing like it.
