I want to find the most sustainable operating system, because computers nowadays waste a lot of energy, because of data collection and data processing. Avoiding unnecessary processes and using resources in a mindful way could reduce the CO2 output on the whole world.

This discussion grew very fast and I put all links to other platforms in the end of the blog article.

I am now working on some simple pole weapon prototypes. Spearheads and other pointy ends are mounted in an axial groove, fixed with two screws. It gives an advantage, if we need to be able to change configuration. Other than that, we may need a permanent fixture.

My idea is to use non-protruding rods and to fill gaps with some kind od resin / glue. It needs to be elastic enough to wthstad vibrations and hits, while rigid enough to transfer force to the shaft.

Any suggestions?

Realizing that this would be a clutch heirloom to have cast of my mother and grandmother.... think they'd go for it?

Or make one of myself and specify in my will that to inherit, any heirs have to make pan de muerto in it and eat it...
