#2It has been a while since I found a site this interesting, I have been reading it on and off for the past few days.
As per their site: "Hundred Rabbits is an artist collective that documents low-tech solutions with the hope of building a more resilient future. We live and work aboard a 10 m sailboat named Pino in remote parts of the world to learn more about how technology degrades beyond the shores of the western world"

I highly recommend reading their north pacific crossing log book.

#4Does anyone know if they're able to support themselves purely on donations via Patreon, etc., or if they need to do contract work, too?

#5I love the contrast in "Low tech/bootstrapped tech" this way vs, say, duskos.org. I call this "rabbits vs forth" tech bootstrappers. [1].
It's somewhat strange to me that their tech journey is so narrative and ends up with a VM stack, rather than any kind of salvaged / repurposed hard tech. But then again, I'm probably on the forth side of the spectrum.

I think the closest thing you'll get to an origin story is this: https://100r.co/site/why_a_boat.html
I'll defer to Occam's Razor: they probably had enough money at the outset that they don't have to worry about consistent month-to-month income.
That's not meant to be a diss. Though, given their politics, I could understand if they took it that way.

Unsure about the day-to-day situation, I imagine by now they make enough off of the stuff they put out as 100r that combined with very low expenses it's sustainable or close to. In past blog posts they mention taking on contract work for boat repairs.

Nice post. I hadn't noticed the "subtle suggestions" of donations myself, to be honest, but maybe I hadn't browsed around their pages enough.
Anyway, if they do mention it, is it not a very far cry from the situation everywhere else? Youtubers begging, screaming, shouting, seducing, murmuring, doing the bug-eyes, repeating, cloying, getting emotionally heavy and forceful, for subscriptions, likes, and comments? Interspersed with violent sudden shifts to advertising products, etc.
So it was a bit of a surprise to hear it mentioned like it might be bad. Are you surprised that the suggestions are so gentle? Or what

#10It's remarkable how good you have to be at tech to be low tech and low maintenance.
