      I haven't turned on this raspberry pi 4 8gb of ram in like 3 years. I've been feeling like resurrecting it and setting it up again.

      What services should I install on it?
      What casing or peripherals should I use?

          You know computers? ...

          And I might regret asking this ...

          What actually happens when a computer crashes?

          If you can tell me in simpleton terms, that would be good, but what actually happens to make the computer go plop plop?

            Meme, showing a continuous circle of data breach messages from corporations…

Ahaha you're not gonna believe this but we had a bit of a data breach.

Your data is probably for sale online now.

That means someone could easily impersonate you.

Going forward we're gonna need more of your data to make sure its you.

              The Rust Wedge and the Big Tech Buy-off: A Veteran Engineer’s Warning to Every PC Owner (+ jofito)

              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0JAAF61AiE

              "I warned you years ago that Windows 11 was the beginning of the end. Today, the door is officially closing on general-purpose computing. In this 24-minute manifesto, I am moving past the "ripping on Rust" memes to address a documented existential threat to your hardware. Between the $12.5M Big Tech "security" grants and the US government's memory-safety mandates, we are witnessing a coordinated execution of legacy systems."

                Linux is married to AI hegemony. It's time for a new and better OS. Skift might become a candidate:

                SkiftOS : https://skiftos.org/

                It's not a *NIX!

                "skiftOS isn’t POSIX. It’s a fresh API and userland inspired by Plan 9, Haiku, and Fuchsia. Familiar ideas, different contracts."

                Problem: the GPL is poison. It has polluted Linux and the Linux userland software so that only large corporations can afford to monetize it. BSD License or MIT License would be much better allowing small players to produce unique work without then being forced to share their source code with the AI hegemony racket.
