Happy International Day of Forests. π²
While the tech industry burns megawatts and boils millions of gallons of water just to run the latest AI hype-machine, NetBSDπ© is about extreme efficiency. Writing tight code that keeps the hardware you already own running for decades means less e-waste in the ground and less power pulled from the grid.
You don't need to drain a lake to run a server. Keep your old machines alive. Protect the forests. π§π³

LOOKING FOR OLD ANDROID SMARTPHONES π±π±π±
For educational workshops about technology and Internet,
I'm looking for old/retired Android smartphones that I'm willing to purchase for cheap.
- Do you have a old smartphone...
- in #brussels, #bxl
- Android only
- from 2014-2022
- hidden in a drawer
- the battery / screen is damaged (but still boots up)
... that you'd be willing to gift / sell for cheap?

iFixit uses its business relationship with Lenovo to get a "10/10" (not perfect) iFixit score on the mainline Lenovo laptop. Lots of gamechanging stuff in here for #ewaste.
