This is literally me. We've been out here three years - One more year of putting up with the tech world during the day, and building our solace nights and weekends and this place will be close enough to self-sufficient that I can check out of the workday forever.

Don't get me wrong - building a place in the forest yourself, from nothing, is a lot of work. But it is the kind of work that leaves your body tired and your brain energized. Not the soul sucking every day of dealing with 'business' types.

And every year life gets a bit easier here, while it gets harder every day in the tech industry.

Man I want a remote job so bad

Me with my networking degree...

After a decade+ of network engineering, software Dev and security, I went farming. And people around me all use Apple, Windows, Facebook, Twitter and tiktok, etc. and I get looked at weirdly because I avoid that shit like the plague.

Apparently a person that was intimately involved in IT being concerned about the perils of IT doesn't make anyone think that maybe using that shit is hazardous or something.

I must be a pedo because I like privacy.

Haha, mood.

I don't have any degrees but people keep offering me 'modern' tech and I'm like no thanks because it is all designed to spy, be unfixable and break.

I'd rather just live technologically minimally without all the fuss of having 1000000 devices all making even more requests and data transfers than that a second to some random server and having to keep them all up to date and be trackable wherever I go.

Might even get some things to make me effectively untrackable or to shut down things when needed like the flipper zero.

For those looking for that Github woodworking issue:

This is me with no degree. The world sucks and me participating in it just seems to draw the attention of people who hate my desire for a nicer one.

Whether it's doing something about global warming, plastics, deforestation, and car dependency. I'm ready to build a log cabin deep in some Michigan backwoods and grow my own food.

I became an accountant so I would not die young like my father who was a literal farmer. It’s a hard life to be honest.

I like Shadowrun prior to the addition of the wireless world for almost the same reason a cyber security expert would keep their shit off a wider network, but in reverse.

It's more fun to have to break into the vault and connect directly to the server to hack it than by hanging out at the McDonald's on their wifi 3 blocks away.

Clearly he found out something he can't tell us or he'd have to kill us.
