It's a good thing that little black line protected me from seeing the word "fucking" on the internet.

Wait a minute... FUCK! 🤪

I may have found ways to make computers not work but in the process I usually find ways to make them work again. Its a cycle

Computer works -> I get bored -> I mess around -> it no longer works -> I fix it -> repeat

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 11 points 1 month ago

literally real. windows refresh and sandbox or atomic system components have been huge for me for this reason as it encourages me to mess around.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

In the words of Tommy Edison, "I have not failed, I have simply found 1000 ways to make a computer not work."

Gasp! Is that a naughty word!? My delicate sensibilities!

Anyways, i probably have an AI data center's worth of tech lying around my house because of one project or another. Some broken, some old, some saved from the trash, some held together with load bearing thermal paste... You know, a perfectly normal setup.

I am of the opinion that it takes intelligence to be stupid. I had a friend in high school who had some undiagnosed cognitive difficulty that made him a bit slow overall. He struggled in school and was always failing one of his classes because he just couldn't learn fast enough. However, his common sense was better than anyone else's that I've ever met, and he was my most reliable friend. Sure, he didnt make many smart decisions, but he’s never made a really boneheaded decision as far as I know. I got in the habit of running my ideas past him:

Me: "I'm thinking of doing [insert absolutely insane idea]. It should be cool."

Him: "That doesn’t seem safe, and it's also illegal."

Me: "Huh. You're right. I won't do that, then."

I can credit my survival to adulthood to this guy. He may not able able to tell you what day of the week it is while standing in front of a calendar, but he was the least stupid man I have ever met.

it's true, 100% of the stuff I learn is in service of making a 10-year-old GeForce 980 run increasingly unstable, modded, and unholy builds of games. it's not a matter of will it BSOD, just a matter of when do I not want it to BSOD

People who are "very computer" tend to combine stuff that doesn't have a guarantee to work.

Like a desktop Frankensteined together from multiple different computers into one working monster.

Those things have whole new problems of their own.

Regular people would consider me Extremely Computer, but compared to many of the people here I feel Barely Computer for not knowing the difference between /bin and /sbin.

[-] mushroomman_toad@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

You fool! /bin and /sbin have already been replaced by /usr/bin and /usr/sbin! What an buffonish mistake!

Truly the solution is NixOS, we must all embrace the loving embrace of /nix/store.

I became very computer because my computer's were all so shit and broken in weird ways and I was too poor to pay anyone to fix them, and even if I did they didn't know.

This is also very true for somewhat similar reasons with car mechanics.

I am very computer.

I decided I didn't want to deal with it anymore and picked up a used Dell precision system with a pair of Xeon processors and put 64 G of RAM in it, with an 8x SSD raid array.

If anything fails I can completely fucking ignore it and my system continues to fucking work.

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
