[GTALUG] OT: The Hundred Year Computer

I found this a very thought-provoking read: "What might a general purpose computing machine look like, one that's designed to last over a hundred years, one that would even be useful in some sort of post apocalyptic environment?" https://thomashunter.name/posts/2025-03-23-post-apocalyptic-computing What hardware and software choices/tradeoffs would be optimal to build a computer designed for resilience and longevity? Would it run Linux or BSD or something else entirely? Following links led me to the concept of "permacomputing" which seems like a whole new rabbit hole of discovery. :-) https://permacomputing.net/permacomputing/ -- Website: https://www.dwarmstrong.org
