i wonder how soon my personal gear will qualify as worthy of folks wanting to rent a vm or get a vpn tunnel because its safer and cheaper than the cloud offerings?
(i mean, it is already, but i dont go around posting flyers because it means having to do tech support, heh)

@Viss there are a few of us doing this friends and family stuff. I would love to see it become neighborhood scale. Like the village blacksmith.

@Viss oh, for sure.

Imagine a future where being a shitty neighbor means you are shunned by every craftsperson in town and you live in the misery of your own making.

@h2onolan @Viss this reminds me of the people who think they can do home repairs/improvements themselves (self proclaimed handymen) but don't know when or are too headstrong to call in someone that knows what they're doing when they're in over their heads, so they end up doing a shoddy job and literally end up living in misery of their own making

i know people who have light switches taped over instead of being properly fixed, and there's a house on the way to where i work that looks like someone bolted trash and solar panels all over the place, and definitely were not professionally installed in any way whatsoever (and recently had a fire, which i suspect was electrical)
