If you’re comfortable with a bit of setup, there are open hardware options on the market. They’re reasonably basic compared to a flagship but phone notifications, some health metrics and telling the time are all quite possible.
PineTime (with Infinitime firmware)
If you want to basically make it from scratch there’s also the Yatchy
This is the one that broke me
Word. It’s not hoarding it’s “yeah I’d pay $16 dollars for that one game and I’ll give a couple of others a go”. I didn’t just never get around to Kane and Lynch, I never had any interest in it.
Just to be clear before I respond to the rest of this comment, my position is that Peertube solves the sustainability problem and in no way am I suggesting Peertube will replace YouTube
I do not expect the vast majority of channels to survive the end of YouTube, as is normal for any paradigm shift.
P2P is completely achievable using NAT Hole Punching. I have no clarity on if Peertube is doing this but since there’s already a trusted server involved it would be silly not to.
In a hypothetical, unlikely future where YouTube dies and people generally move to Peertube, I expect the majority of content creators to pay small fees to have instances host their videos. I expect small, free but restricted instances will continue to be the home for amateur videographers as they are today. The more technical folk will likely self host, and groups of like minded creators will pool efforts to run group specialist instances (not unlike Nebula).
Frankly the most likely scenario is YouTube dies and everyone starts posting videos to Instagram or Tiktok or something equivalently anti user.
Content creators. It’s hard to host everyone’s videos, and it benefits monopolists to imply that doing so is necessary, as it prevents new entrants. It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted). It becomes harder when you suddenly become popular, a situation which Peertube explicitly compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers, which scales with popularity.
Signal makes it’s own bed like YouTube by being a single centralised server for everyone. Nobody ever asks “who pays for the servers” when it comes to Matrix or XMPP
Not precisely what you’re after but https://sepiasearch.org/
Peertube has already delivered the sustainable model: creators host their own videos and viewers assist distribution.
Arch can absolutely use other init systems though it is officially unsupported
They deliberately removed code search for not logged in users almost immediately. Just recently they removed cloning without an account, so now updating my computer requires signing in to github.
They have been awful stewards.
Git doesn’t have a concept of a preferred repository; your local copy is exactly as valid to git as a git server hosted on github.
The originally intended workflow as I understand it involved generating patches which would be shared via a mailing list.
In practice there will generally be a repository that’s considered “canonical” for a project, whether that’s the one on the computer of the lead maintainer or some hosted solution.
A basic git server is essentially just a repository owned by a restricted user with SSH access granted to maintainers.. This can allow users to push and pull from a centralised or semi-centralised repository in much the same way as GitHub.
how did we get to a point where every creator is limited to one box?
US Antitrust has been asleep for decades, and as soon as it opened one bleary eye the oligarchs took over the government.
For what it’s worth, I regularly switch depending on what I’m doing (AwesomeWM for X11 and Hyprland for Wayland)
If you’re fine with Wayland, go with Wayland. There are lots of reasons still that people might prefer X11 but the list has been getting shorter.
You don’t happen to know what whereabouts in legislation that’s detailed, do you?
Fully half of the sessions I’ve sat down to play It Takes Two (from the same studio) I’ve been straight up unable to play it, because the EA launcher has been too jank to actually launch games.
That’s gone now thank god, but I still haven’t finished It Takes Two solely because of EA bullshit.
The closest thing I’ve seen is Combobulate
Radeon Open Compute Mplatform
Secret out-of-court settlement is an option.

With that set up you could install Ark twice!
From a quick search, “sleep as android” seems to have support for both, although people have varying success with it
