A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Yes and no. Just like John Wick still had his hitman tools hidden in his house, tech workers who say they want to buy a farm and be a luddite will not be able to resist having a hidden server closet in their farmhouse.
I present to you: Home Assistant on the whole farm!
living this. although, more, a homestead.
Homeassistant keeps my water pump from freezing!
I hope to get some irrigation lines automated in the spring.
The animals would benefit from some humidity control.
Hmm, feeder and a pen door for my ducks!
There is no end to this!
yeah! we have our big outdoor freezer on a sensor (most just run on a cycle), so out uses significantly less power in winter, but handles the odd warm day. crockpot on a timer, electric fence gets paused and starts up again in a half hour..
..lotsa good little uses.
(Tech worker here, hoping to move to the countryside next year.)
Absolutely. I probably wouldn't be doing any farming, except grow some vegetables for my own needs. But I would definitely build my own awesome local infrastructure with a server room and network cables in the walls and all that good stuff. When I retire and don't have to spend 8-10 hours a day in front of a computer at work, it'll probably be enjoyable and satisfying again to work on and maintain my own computers and stuff. Currently I rarely have the motivation or energy to do that.
And if the house is large enough I'd also make certain areas/rooms completely tech free. Like maybe a small library with only books and comfy chairs, and no wifi signal.
I've lived in the countryside with a bunch of tech in my basement and it was still better than living in the suburbs
