I would have loved to have had one of these. Remember researching prices for used ones about 5 years after they were discontinued, and couldn't find anything under $15,000 with less than 100k mi or in need of a battery swap. Such a shame.

I self-host basically everything I can, aside from email. Self-host Calendar, contacts, streaming, budgeting, documents and storage, passwords, private chat, etc.

Email I'd love to self-host, but consensus seems to be that it's between moderately difficult to impossible to get outbound deliverability depending on quite a few factors, some of which are out of one's control.

As for reasons why I self-host, basically everything you've listed in your post. I want to be the owner of my data, not some corp making profit by mining it for ad revenue or selling it to data brokers. Also I love digging into the guts of standing up my own services and keeping them maintained, I've learned so much over the years from it.

Man, I wish I could find a good colo solution that wouldn't kill me with fees. VPS isn't bad cost-wise, but I'd really like to be able to throw as much hardware as I want at it without paying $1k/mo.

That looks really nice, not to mention those wrist rests! How are you liking your thumb cluster layout? Looks very Kinesis inspired, don't know myself if I'd prefer that or something more akin to a dactyl manuform thumb cluster.

Wow that's such a tragedy. No parent, or even grandparent in this case should have to outlive their children.

Jesus christ. I love beans as much as the next guy, but that imagery just made my stomach turn.

Well aware. I believe one of the admins is taking care of it rn. u/fuck u/LollaCatt and u/crappy are the three I've seen so far spamming community creation calls.

Sent the three site admins PMs about the new accounts and communities around 10 minutes after /crappy account was created. Had already made over 400 communities in that timeframe.

Wow that looks so nice!

Thank you so much! Excited to get into the series, and most likely will be following your advice about books 1-4.
