Frugality in Tech

• https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/thin-clients.html
• Linux (walled gardens)
• Make your own tools (lock-in software, subscriptions)
• What do you need vs. what do you think you need, find your bedrock (Adam Savage method[1])

you should always use the weakest technology capable of solving your problem - the weakest technology is likely the cheapest, easiest to maintain, extend or replace and there are no sane arguments for using anything else.
