Nah the internet sucks no matter where you live. That cottage with a closed network or something like Secure Scuttlebutt/Manyverse in a little village would be cool though. The town library can have gigabit internet (for downloading media) and a shared local Jellyfin (& calibre, Navidrome, audiobookshelf, etc) server that can be accessed by anyone in town.

Want to play Live Service or online games? To the library. Publish your website or music album or artwork outside of the local loop? To the library. Online classes? To the library.

Internet revolutionaries revealing that "eat the cul de sac" was internalized self-loathing all along.

I would prefer the cul de sac of 8 close friends, but still surronded in nature.

Yeah my Father in Law basically has this… but significantly nicer (4bed, 4bath, full kitchen, running spring water, off-grid solar+batteries), up a mountain, surrounded by pine trees, with StarLink internet.

It’s amazing when we can go visit for a week or 2

We basically have this in Ireland. Only instead of a log cabin its an old cottage in the middle of nowhere.

An old cottage with a gigabit connection.

You want Norway, Sweden and Finland. You can get fast internett pretty much anywhere and a large portion of the countries are just forest. I actually met a guy in Troms who is the only year round resident of an island that has two ferries a week if you book ahead of time and he has fast internett, as well as a lovely vegetable garden and a plentiful supply of fish.

I'd rather have a modern house, some housemates and no internet.

Hell no lol

Lived like that for a while (but with a working shower and not-so-fast internet). 10/10 would recommend. Will do again when I'm done with $CURRENT_LIFE_ISSUES.

Definitely not, my dream place to life is microdistrict with everything needed close.

Plus a plumbed toilet and air conditioning.

Yah. But also with heat, running water, AC, a convenience shop nearby and some friends. So basically what I already have minus a job.

meh, I'm too anxious and would end up fitting a bunch of security in and on the house

Internet is useless compared to a proper well. Water - good

Wish granted. Enjoy mosquitoes.

I'm workin' on it!
