Yes and no. Just like John Wick still had his hitman tools hidden in his house, tech workers who say they want to buy a farm and be a luddite will not be able to resist having a hidden server closet in their farmhouse.

I hope to get some irrigation lines automated in the spring.

The animals would benefit from some humidity control.

Hmm, feeder and a pen door for my ducks!

There is no end to this!

yeah! we have our big outdoor freezer on a sensor (most just run on a cycle), so out uses significantly less power in winter, but handles the odd warm day. crockpot on a timer, electric fence gets paused and starts up again in a half hour..

..lotsa good little uses.

I've lived in the countryside with a bunch of tech in my basement and it was still better than living in the suburbs

Absolutely. I probably wouldn't be doing any farming, except grow some vegetables for my own needs. But I would definitely build my own awesome local infrastructure with a server room and network cables in the walls and all that good stuff. When I retire and don't have to spend 8-10 hours a day in front of a computer at work, it'll probably be enjoyable and satisfying again to work on and maintain my own computers and stuff. Currently I rarely have the motivation or energy to do that.

And if the house is large enough I'd also make certain areas/rooms completely tech free. Like maybe a small library with only books and comfy chairs, and no wifi signal.
