It's not like we (society) talked about this and decided we'd sacrifice ground-based astronomy in exchange for internet access in remote areas.

My beliefs are simple, and hardly radical: Libraries are critical infrastructure. Access to information is a human right. When you buy a book you should truly own it.

Readers should be able to read without any third parties spying over their shoulders, or preventing them from accessing the materials they have legally obtained.

The Internet archive lost its appeal in the HACHETTE case. What a huge, devastating loss for all of us.

The Android evil-genie promise: You may have an open source phone OS. But if you actually compile it from source yourself, you will be banned from running any software. Or at least, they'll try as hard as they can to ban you from running software. Also, if you decide you want to build or even *download* the source, you're going to need to purchase a dedicated 1 TB SSD to check out the repo, and also download our forked version of git to check it out with

Continuing the journey, finally got setup and usable. Integration with (via HomeKit which doesn't require any Apple hardware), IPP (can see ink levels and printer activity), and (can see how many devices are active and what they're doing). Need admin access to to see how the solar panels are producing. Also looking at frigate.video but it doesn't have an easy yunohost install yet.
