I lived un a house that had live 120v DC service.

There was an electric fan that ran on it. The outlets were only in the basement and identical to each other.

You can find a used machine to practice with and start by fixing and altering.

Local indy sewing shops that I've encountered have been happy to advise and some have open sewing days.

I fix my outdoors gear and clothes routinely, often with hand-stitching, just takes practice.

ClassicPress is WordPress without Gutenberg, if you're used to that interface. It was based on 4.9 but now on current releases.

Whatever Molly White uses for https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ is something she wrote and was available on one of her accounts.

I'm looking for a similar thing that absolutely excludes all scraping, bots, search engines, etc. I think the only way we get the web back is cordoning the leeches off to one side. Let them drown in each other's AI regurgitation.

Water and power still need to be reconfigured, obvs we're not there yet, but they don't contain my personal info and can't leak it.

I'm not against govt working with entities when needed, but it's become a lazy solution to outsource functions and often the blame for failure as well, rather than build a responsible solution.

It's gotten too cozy and intertwined.

The tech world has become and endless conveyor belt of stupid greedy miseries.

No subscription-based company products should be in public schools. That would stop with inculcating model acceptance.

No federal agency should be using any subscription product, including any cloud products. Public data should not be capable of being held hostage or monetised.

Both are a waste of public funds and set a bad example.

We can put marketing teams in the fields and mines doing honest toil.

Use the plugin to archive and replace posts. After a while do the replace again but stop in the middle. Repeat as necessary... it makes the posts different but still not valid.

You can look back to Lee Iacocca. The Ford Pintos caught on fire because he sat back at his desk and laughed at the engineers who wanted to add a safety bar back there, the car had to be 2000 dollars no matter what.

Then he was at Chrysler and pioneered the idea that CEOs could set their own bonuses. At the time it was a shocking idea, called unethical.

Now the personal tech world comes along....
