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
GUI? What’s a GUI?
I think some kind of cli tool.
Probably curses.
Curses? What's is curses? /s
I just use ascii.
ASCII? What’s that? /me thumps stack of punch cards on table
Punch cards? What are that? /me grapping my abacus to add up 2 numbers.
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
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!
notice how the plushies never leave. true linux user.
Nothing changed just leaned in
lain <33333
Everyone loves Lain :D
Where is this pic from?
An anime called Serial Experiments Lain.
Thanks!
Warning - not a happy anime.
Definitely need to start watching this. Thx!
This is funny because its true.
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
Not me having random urges to use old Linux laptops as servers
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
Thats how my homelab started! Now I have power-draw problems |:(
Hides stash of thinkpads…
Do you flash Libreboot or Canoeboot?
I have used the fedora boot program for my last usb install.
I've not heard of that. Does Fedora have its own coreboot distro, or is it something else?
Ohhh I thought you were talking about flashing software for inputting the iso into the usb like Rufus.
I haven’t swapped out the BIOS/UEFI firmware before.
Compatibility with Libreboot/Canoeboot seems to be one of the main advantages of certain Thinkpad models, so it might be something to check out. :)
(For creating a bootable USB drive from a .iso file, can you not simply use the dd command?)
Thanks for letting me know about these options. I haven’t tried the dd command though.
You're welcome! To make a bootable USB drive with dd, the command would be sudo dd if=/path/to/installer.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync where the sdX is your actual USB drive.
Poor Copland OS Enterprise, forgotten 😔
after linux
What a handsome man.
All those power lines in the window view feed just that apartment.
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.)
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.
Serial Experiments Lain. Great, but very very weird, anime.
Especially when you work in a place with good ewaste
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
Can't relate. That's after selfhosting not Linux. I only have 1 laptop anyways to do work on.
totally fake, who works on a table when the floor is so much bigger and comfortable
Mmmmmm Dell R340 with Debian
So true...
