Not quite sure, but I think I have stumbled on perhaps the next phase of the people's permacomputer project.
Consider: a modular discrete transistor computer system/platform.
Diode transistor logic. This I am making out of 2N3904 bipolar junction transistors, and signal diodes.
Not much is different about the computer compared to a modern one, other than it is made by hand out of discrete components, instead of being printed on a wafer.

@dirtycommo@anticapitalist.party This is very cool. I have been thinking about building a computer from basic supplies recently. It leads me to the idea of using wire to make my own relays, which could be a replacement for transistor switches. It does require wire and a power supply and a display element... maybe a filament that lights up... really interesting how to make a computer from "scratch"...
