Fellow anarchist here, I’ve been accumulating used hardware that’s on the older side to Frankenstein together a homelab/cluster, brush up on self-hosting foss, and increase my personal tech sovereignty.

Don’t forget all the time you save not having to configure stuff and fight with drivers. I enjoy dealing with that stuff because I like to learn, but others might not.

Think about how much time and effort can go into selecting hardware, optimizing it, managing drivers, tweaking OS to play nice. I’m a masochist so I enjoy learning all that stuff - can’t really blame those who don’t. For them it is actually a bargain

Is the whole idea really just XBOX people being able to say to PS5 people “I have something you’ll never be able to get”?

I think the execs overestimate how valuable that is. And yeah, that is extremely cringe-worthy.

I only have Francs, can you convert?

That is really stretching the definition of “leak”. Leak implies some kind of malfeasance, like someone “on the inside” releasing the files in an unauthorized fashion. Sounds like they did exactly what they intended to do, where they intended to do it, someone fucked up, perhaps unknowingly, and oopsied the timeline of encryption. It could have even been intentional to garner attention and boost sales.
