How fun, this should go on a ‘Best of the Fediverse’ type post or something.

I’ve done my fair share of ridiculousness to keep free crappy hardware running.
I will say, try running Alpine Linux on a container.

I’ve managed to extract some usefulness out of a borderline e-waste Android tablet running some flavor of Jelly Bean, so outdated you couldn’t connect to most websites due to bad TLS certs, by running a Alpine Container on it.

The groups were used to share ideas for custom-made torture videos, such as setting live monkeys on fire, injuring them with tools and even putting one in a blender.

How… How do you even come back from this? Is there any hope these people can get rehabilitated? I’m struggling to believe the answer is anything other than “NO.”
