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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Shirasho 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Warning - not a happy anime.

[–] ZonenRanslite@feddit.org 12 points 2 weeks ago

This is funny because its true.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks 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

[–] piefood@feddit.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thats how my homelab started! Now I have power-draw problems |:(

What a handsome man.

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.

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

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] xylol@leminal.space 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Especially when you work in a place with good ewaste

[–] cenzorrll@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

That's me.
disgusted at myself voices

Mmmmmm Dell R340 with Debian

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