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 1 week ago

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

[-] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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 1 week 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!

An anime called Serial Experiments Lain.

[-] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago
[-] Shirasho@lemmings.world 29 points 1 week ago

Warning - not a happy anime.

This is funny because its true.

[-] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week 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 10 points 1 week ago

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

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

Hides stash of thinkpads…

[-] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Do you flash Libreboot or Canoeboot?

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I have used the fedora boot program for my last usb install.

[-] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

I've not heard of that. Does Fedora have its own coreboot distro, or is it something else?

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

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?)

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Thanks for letting me know about these options. I haven’t tried the dd command though.

[-] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

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.

What a handsome man.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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.)

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 3 points 1 week 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.

[-] xylol@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago

Especially when you work in a place with good ewaste

[-] cenzorrll@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week 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

[-] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] andrewth09@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Mmmmmm Dell R340 with Debian
