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

Buying for older Chromebook are really need to be specific and make sure the easiest way to change the firmware into another open stock UEFI firmware are by dismount the specific screw or dismount the battery. DO NOT buy the newer Chromebook because to unlock the firmware, it will be needed the s**tty way like using SuzyQable that it didn't exist anymore (We need to create our own if you can).

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...

- 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?
If yes »»» π©π© [email protected]

yesterday's trip to local garage sale made me want to allocate a small portion of my monthly budget to combat #ewaste by buying nonfunctional items in bulk for cheap and bringing them to recycling channels
