Recently an entire C64 was built from scratch using modern parts, I think there were some FPGAs involved. It's unfortunate that the design is so brittle (maybe good idea to mod a protective shutter), but I wouldn't worry about future repairability.
Also TIL that C64OS is a thing. Maybe C64 is the design we should be looking into when considering permacomputing.

It was a little bit clickbait. The C64 was build from scratch, but not all parts were freshly made. Absolutely the C64 is a thing for permacomputing, haha.
- dongecko 4y agoThere is also the evo64 project which rebuild the c64 with modern parts.
