God the ramifications of this are honestly terrifying and I'm not even a US citizen.

It's the one time where I am glad to have a slightly unusual name.

Honestly it's so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have [email protected] even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.

Leah has said some dumb stuff but I think this particular separation from the GNU project was the correct decision. The dogmatic no blobs approach wasn't working, it is better to reduce/minimise the binary blobs and support more devices imo. Don't agree with their previous actions though.

Not entirely the case anymore. Libreboot switched to a blob reduction policy in order to support more hardware. Hopefully this will bring things forward quite a bit over the next year.

I'm in a similar situation. Finding a good installer is tricky. I'm in a terraced property so similar there as well because there's very little space to install an air source pump. In an ideal world everyone would have 27mm piping but in my case I could get away with less and some better insulation. Sure it might not achieve the maximum efficiency possible but I'd hazard it's at least a better than our current boiler.

For now though I'm probably going to stick with the boiler with an OpenTherm stat to keep it running low. I'll try and bump up our insulation and hopefully things improve in a couple of years when the boiler gives up the ghost.
