Nerds fix stuff around the house? Girl, I couldn't even repair that plumbing if I wanted to. This is a job for a professional.

Nerd here that was EXTREMELY disappointed in losing the opportunity to own a house.

I wanted to get into the home electronics/plumbing stuff. Although to be honest, I am less keen on the plumbing since it's a wet mess.

We like to mix water and electricity anyway, like pipewire

[-] lud@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Yeah, PoW (Power over Water) is awesome! I use it everywhere.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Still don't get the name...

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Oh, the wetness is far from the worst part.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

Depends if you are messing with blue pipes or black ones.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Mine are all copper and iron.

Actually, some nerds are handy with electronics and stuff like that, myself included.

It could be even worse. Some needs enjoy to learn things, anything. Doesn't,t matter if it's NixOs or plastering.

This is me. Software developer by day, endless diyer and hobby starter by night (at least on nights when I'm not dissociating on the couch)

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Oh yeah, I love learning things. It doesn't mean I love actually doing them.

[-] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 15 points 7 months ago

Let's not monopolize the word nerds for us computer nerds. There are also engineering nerds for example, the guys that have 2 3d printers, 3 CNC machines, and a few industrial robot arms in their garage so that they can build the tiniest bike ever.

Nerds of all sciences unite!

It says a lot that when I read that my first thought was "oh so like keeping the self hosted services running and whatnot" for a second πŸ˜…
