Warzone 2100 (you can download for free as it is an old PC game that went GPL)

gets more on the nose by the day

a search engine for the gemini network protocol

Are they worth considering or only worth it at certain price points?

That is just the gateway drug to bootstrapping.

They already did: https://www.commanderx16.com/

you just probably want something better.

and that is the problem building higher performance requires more advanced lithography and that is expensive and until recently was not even an option for a hobbyist (without taking a mortgage on their house).

Given current stagnation, you need only wait about 10 years for that viable option.

Really looking forward to seeing this packaged in Guix

in software these days it is: good, cheap or fast; pick one (if you are lucky [usually things are just bad, expensive and slow as f&*k])

Well the minimal bars for electronics is:

0 - The repair manual exists and is readily available with full schematics of the item in question.

1 - Replacement parts are available for purchase.

2 - Compatible replacement parts are made by 2 or more 3rd party companies

3 - Designs for replacement parts are available

4 - Local maker space is able to make the needed replacement parts.

If you can't get level 0, you probably shouldn't buy it if you expect to keep it working for life.
