For awhile now I've been looking for something to take the place of FOSS/OSS in my work. I've become increasingly alienated by that scene and the increasing flow of AI slop into the projects I support and depend on is the last straw.

As I search for an alternative I'm looking to other fields and practices and one that might have potential is "heirloom computing"
