@veronica my home is a shrine to jank. Things mostly work, many bits of tech are DIY or repaired hardware with new firmware. My phone is running GrapheneOS (thanks for the excellent videos on that, BTW), and I've abandoned most visible algorithms. My Bluetooth mic doesn't quite work right cuz I repaired my headphones.

Decentralised and janky reminds me why I fell in love with tech in the first place. Convenience kinda sucks the fun out of it.

If you can't open it, you don't own it.
