My dad likes to tell a story about a time he was riding on a subway car next to a shaggy looking guy with a laptop. My dad looked over and asked “oh, is that Linux?” and the guy replied “it’s GNU /Linux, actually” in a really snarky way. My dad snorted and said “who are you, Richard Stallman?” and he said “yes”.

We have solar panels, battery backup and a plug in hybrid car. It gets us just about anywhere locally we need to go without needing gas. We just got a 3d printer and I’m already thinking of dozens of things around the house I can fabricate now. We have a VR I can use to work out downstairs (beat saber!). Not to mention this cool miniature computer with internet access I can use anywhere I go.

Hoping to add a garden in the next year or so to grow herbs, fruits and veggies.
