It would be amazing if it doesn't disintegrate if it rains, too.

Thanks! Since our entire software stack is open source, and since open source software has been so transformative for our lives in general, it's a priority for us to give back where we can.

The profit will come from labor involved in assembling the hardware, pre-configuring the software for each customer, and providing personalized support via a set of subscription support plans at various prices, including individual one-offs.

We'll be dedicating a set amount of time every day to read support forums for the software we use (and places like Lemmy) and provide help where we can.

That is a really cool concept, I'd wish more tech companies would do that.
