Totally this. I am old enough to remember LAN fun times. And writing software since 1970s at high school. And Tailscale works for me to create my own network of phones, laptops, desktops and a remote node at DO. Works brilliantly to cross

I have 7" touch screen waiting me to attach a pi4 to make a proper portable Linux device I can travel with. Laptops too big and the GPD tiny ones too expensive for me. I can't use anything smaller than 7" and don't want

I like pascal - learnt it in second year if tertiary and used off and on for a while. In my opinion as a bad developer and less-bad product manager FPC is the embodiment of duct-tape programming [1] is only that and c# in which I have seen
