DONT THREAD ON ME: Oct 1, 2002; by Nyc_Tattoo; Floss Finder

hey moo cow i think i would like a life goal of mine to be eventually to live on a homestead (it will not be a source of income, obviously i will do this while making 6.5 figures remotely)

if i just want a dairy cow is it really true that the cow has to be knocked up all the time to make milk? sounds pretty hosed up

eschaton: Mar 7, 2007; Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

you should be able to run Haiku on a very wide variety of old inexpensive hardware

under 1GB RAM and storage needed, and it has a WebKit-based browser for whatever random web poo poo you need

or you could build your own "laptop" by getting a Raspberry Pi 2 or equivalent, a USB keyboard and trackpad, and LCD screen, and sticking them in a case, you could probably put all that together for like US$150

then there's the Intel Compute Stick, you could get the 4GB/32GB model and stick it in a TV and use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and it'll be a deece basic browsing station (and a bit faster than the RPi2)
