Self host the software stack, bootstrap the hardware stack. Anything that isn't recyclable isn't sustainable. Close the loop, build computers out of trash.

I believe in trash magic. https://trashrobot.org/
Self hosting in both the sense of software that can build itself, as well as the decentralized distribution of information.
