It's like "I have a windows computer, I install software on it and use the software. Why would I need more than 1?" Turns into "ooohhh, computers are great. All the things I can run and host. Software isn't just a gui".

It's like learning to love computers again

Curses? What's is curses? /s

I just use ascii.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

ASCII? What’s that? /me thumps stack of punch cards on table

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Punch cards? What are that? /me grapping my abacus to add up 2 numbers.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Abacus? What is that?

/me grabbing my dedicated pile of stones so I can throw one into ground for each individual sheep I see to make sure I didn't lose any as counting wasn't invented yet

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 10 months ago

Dedicated pile of stones? Why is that?

/me carved tally marks on a cave wall. And slashing tallies on bones. I will call it tally sticks!

This isn't even the final form of her room. They haven't gotten to the "liquid cooled by way of literally having a puddle of ankle deep water in the room" phase!

An anime called Serial Experiments Lain.

[–] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.org 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Warning - not a happy anime.

[–] ZonenRanslite@feddit.org 12 points 10 months ago

This is funny because its true.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 11 points 10 months ago

This is me with old phones that I keep to prove LineageOS will still support, I keep them all updated, I flash Mobian or postmarketOS, but I keep none as a daily driver

[–] ElectroLisa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not me having random urges to use old Linux laptops as servers

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Lol, I've been wanting to tear down my old laptops down to the board and run them "bare" in my rack as some sort of cluster lmao

All those power lines in the window view feed just that apartment.

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The masculine urge to buy a bunch of computers, deck my room out like some cyberpunk rat nest and do secret software stuff. (Seriously what would you even have multiple computers do.)

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

(Seriously what would you even have multiple computers do.)

Setup k3s (pronounces "kubes") on each computer as a node. Run scalable software - a website, database, some LDAP setup for users, maybe.

Check out /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world for inspiration :D

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

Run Multiple Services silly. How do you think Spotify, Netflix, and all these other goofy things operate? I think it is the obsession to locally host your own services and compartmentalize things so things don't all come crashing down at once. It totally makes sense to me. And I don't even think it's masculine. I think chicks would even dig it too. I think they do actually dig it. I think you're just told as a female that that's just not for you. And some resist. No subscription for me, thank you very much. All these major tech-bro companies have blood on their hands. And what they do is nothing special.

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Serial Experiments Lain. Great, but very very weird, anime.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Especially when you work in a place with good ewaste

[–] cenzorrll@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

I mean, you don't need to at this point, all those incompatible with Windows 11 computers. So hard not to just buy another for $50

[–] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 4 points 10 months ago

Can't relate. That's after selfhosting not Linux. I only have 1 laptop anyways to do work on.

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

totally fake, who works on a table when the floor is so much bigger and comfortable

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's me.

Mmmmmm Dell R340 with Debian

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 10 months ago

I've got a random guitar amp I found next to a dumpster plugged into my raspberry pi...
