Re: "Decentralized P2P for Legacy Hardware? I want to bridge…"
First: I agree, but not all situations are the same. In my home country electricity is very cheap; where I live now it's 10-20x more expensive due to taxes and renewables (not bad, but often pricier). So sometimes keeping older gear is worth it. Also, in undeveloped non-producer countries, import costs are abusive, making even budget devices overpriced.
On the other point... I don't speak English, so unsure if the shared version kept my nuance. I mean time: I have an Acer Aspire One with Gentoo that runs great. Yet some prefer Windows XP over Linux because they find Linux too complicated (even people who used MS-DOS). But my Gentoo setup isn't simple, hahaha.

Decentralized P2P for Legacy Hardware? I want to bridge Gemini/Nex simplicity with P2P (IPFS/Freenet) for machines like Symbian or WinXP (<100MB RAM). Philosophy: If hardware works, it should stay useful. Ecosystems shouldn't force upgrades. My Idea: A Modular KISS System Transport: Decoupled (P2P/Radio/BT). Crypto: Optional local decryption. Interface: Text-first (Nex-style). Assets: MIDI/VLC triggered on-demand. Nostr/SSB feel too heavy. Does a truly modular/light…
