Buried inside a PiDP-11, connected to a VT420. Used mostly for IRC. Though I am considering using it to build a bedside radio/clock/alarm that doesn't report back to FAANG.

How do you know it doesn't report back to FAANG?

Because I will build it and verify the code (either open source or my own) won't report any telemetry to them.
