I want fully automated greenhouses and everything solar powered.

in reply to nixCraft ๐ง • • •Having been a farmer and also worked in upper levels of tech...
I can tell you that you probably don't really want to choose farming over tech.
But if you can find a niche in "art", making even a modest income, that can really be a good life.

It's silly. A seven day working week, dawn to well past dusk, judging from the tractor lights in the fields round here. If it's a livestock farm, everything smells of shit, all the time.
I love my nice computers. They sit and wait until I'm ready.

"A computer is all well and good. But to do any real work you need a kitchen table".
Also, I haven't owned a printer for 20 years. I hated them as a commercial programmer before I even owned my first, because files to be printed are more complex than any other type of file.

The longer I work in tech, the more the thought of the unevitable retirement due to old age comes to mind...
At least it has the advantage that nobody can force me to do what I don't like like using Microsoft Teams.

30+ years in IT = now 8 years on a farm.
And only working for/with paid #FOSS.
good work which /makes sense/ - and farming equipment sustains scratches and outlives 50+ years - and can be maintained and repaired.
Most importantly (IMO):
producing good and healthy FOOD is actually something I'm proud to show and teach my kids.

in reply to nixCraft ๐ง • • •Its not tech, its capitalism. People who build the fanciest shit can go on for their whole lives.
But slaving away your live for some dipshit with a huge inheritance ruins everything. Having to focus solely on the incompetence of others (support) or imaginary numbers (devops) is what drives people to hate tech.
We need to have a system that values actual controbution to society instead of arbitrary "profits".
Renato Ramonda
in reply to nixCraft ๐ง • • •I suspect most people who say that have never actually worked in a farm, or they wouldn't.
I'd prefer to spend my time in a more meaningful way too... But hell, not working the land: way too much work for way too little (and uncertain) returns.
