Replying to Avatar Dr. Hax

Hey everyone. My desktop just blew up last night (likely CPU or motherboard).

I'm not asking for donations, but if you'd be willing to spread the word about the open source hardware password managers that I build and sell, it'd really help me out.

I am an independent open source software/hardware maintainer and my dream is to be able to earn enough doing that to pay for my food and shelter.

I sell the hardware at just above cost to fund experimenting with new designs (and now, apparently, to save up for desktop computer repairs).

I'm committed to open source hardware/firmware/software and long term support!

I believe open-source devs will be some of the highest status individuals in society long term. Good work

My first thought when I read this was "that's preposterous!", but if you told me in the 90s that being smart and good with computers (aka, being a geek) was going to be really cool, I would have said the same thing.

And yet, here we are today. And hackers already kinda have that status, so... maybe.

Either way, I'm just going to keep doing what I love and am passionate about. 🤗

Being smart and good with tech is more than cool, it's a hugely valuable skill that 99% of people don't have, to the degree we find here (devving).

So basically you're gonna be extremely wealthy.
