       well the good news is that there are many linux flavours/distributions for systems with little resources!so i think this little plan to repurpose old broken laptops for their screens with raspberry pi zeroes might be a live option, if i can’t get people to donate computers to me for my ‘Friendly Computers’ hobby!https://friendlycomputers.club

       @vidak I could give you an Indigo iMac but transportation would be a problem. It was on the street for trash, I carried it home, about 40 pounds a little more than a mile (1.5 km?)  and that seemed like a long way.  I accidentally deleted the only thing on it that would have been useful to me: os9 bc it was under a silly-looking icon.

       @FriendofBernie I wonder how much it would cost! Probably a lot, hey…

       @vidak Yeah, I think a lot - much more than it's work but for the parts which are good, it works.

       @vidak No prob. You and Kelbot were the first 2 geminis I looked at. I want to make one. I'm not taking that onld imac with me when I move. I tried to give away my first old computer, a collectors item, for shipping cost which even across the us with packing and shipping around just under $100 USD. I eventually put it in the trash. Wish I'd kept it for the keyboard if nothing else.

       @vidak Thanks. Maybe I can do one on my webhost with a subdomain like gem.coyotenews.org - ?I saw that you have a riseup email - how did you get irt, I've wanted one there for a long time.

       @FriendofBernie would you like an invite code to riseup? i am sure i can make one for you!as for the logistics of making a gemini capsule, i am not certain webhost could do it, i think you’d have to have a VPS that you ssh into? not sure…
