Almost every other animal dies pretty quickly after having their last round of children / losing fertility, but humans live almost twice as long. Elders have a literal hardcoded purpose in human evolution.

I'm using owncloud for that but (don't hate me) I'm having to use chatgpt a LOT for the initial configuration. There's a lot of stuff I'm having to learn to get back into it and it's really good at searching docs by fuzzy match, pointing out what part of a function block isn't working, and drafting individual function blocks to experiment with (I'll comment out the original, paste in the chatgpt one, test it, etc). It's a much better experience than a decade ago and I haven't gotten emotionally abused by a more experienced person on stack overflow or reddit once yet.
I've got owncloud running as a lan only service so it just auto syncs my calendar, contacts, and a few folders of documents / pictures I like to keep with me but only whenever I'm home. Right now I'm just also configuring the same old computer to do some basic media / retro gaming on the TV and the hard part right now is configuring magic mirror as it's idle display to keep hubs and I straight on our calendars and tasks (and show some family photos). Nothing major just as I get back onto Linux after ten years it's nice to not get called lazy and stupid while I'm learning.
another relevant comparison is why it's OK for you to get irradiated by the xray machine but the technician goes and hides behind the wall. you're getting it done once today, the technician is doing it 50 times a day 3-5 days a week (or more depending on cost of living in the area 😉). You'll notice a lot of those nail techs and dental professionals are also wearing respirators while applying product to their clients and patients. wear your ppe.
