Installing an encrypted messenger is easy compared to convincing an entire group chat to move to it. The social friction is the tax. Every boundary needs an explanation. Every refusal sounds like judgment. Every privacy choice gets translated into you are being paranoid, difficult, or making things weird. That wears people down.

I just saw that there is a cruise ship that leaves out of SF and over the course of 140 days it circles the globe stopping at several countries for $17,000.
Assuming it’s all inclusive like most cruise ships and that you could book back to back trips that means that all your housing, food, utilities, transportation, and entertainment expenses is a little over $44,000 a year. That’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a retirement home.

Hmmm you didn't give enough information to really answer. What's the capability of the machine? Using it as a single workstation or a dedicated node on your network?
If the laptop is old as dirt and barely runs anything well, then strip it down to a ghost machine. Remove the hard drive, camera, and mic. Then use it as a dedicated tails OS machine. Take it anywhere on the go and if it gets stolen they get nothing.
If it's beefier then throw proxmox on it and plug it into your network. Spin up VMs for all kinds of uses from any machine. Test different OS's or play with networking.
