I've had a few thoughts about the hardware after reading the article 1 year, 24 days ago

From Sebastian Higgins to ~lioploum/forevercomputer

Hi everyone. I've read the original article a few weeks ago and had
been thinking about it till now. I've summarized my opinions here:

computers based on mechanical relays.

Of course I understand this is way too much regression, such a machine
would be way to primitive for your liking, and this isn't nearly as
