  • To make it easy, start off with plugging your old laptop into external monitor. Install RDP, VNC, ssh, ftp depending on your OS. Install tailscale and join the network. Now with another computer, connect to that same network with tailscale and then you can connect and see your laptop screen with RDP. Or if you want VNC you can get a “dummy” hdmi adapter or try installing software for dummy monitor output. After that, use wired ethernet to plug old laptop in router, set to never turn off (recommend removing laptop battery beforehand) and there you go, you have your own personal server you can access anywhere including your phone! From there, look into self-hosting with apps like jellyfin, immich, etc. tons of great resources online.









  • My opinion is that doing all those things won’t magically fix the birthrate. Truth is that the more educated a country is, the lower its birthrate is. Countries like Korea and Japan have the lowest birthrate but also the highest literacy rate and most educated populations. While countries like Afghanistan and several African countries have high birthrate but also poor education levels and high infant mortality rates. More educated people realize that having kids sets them back from achieving their goals with the time and energy it takes to raise them. And the ROI isn’t even guaranteed because kids move away once their adults and aren’t necessarily going to take care of parents in their old age.
