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

It's the thing you run when your Parallel Processing Card is not doing anything and you go - "might as well"

I think some kind of cli tool.

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 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Warning - not a happy anime.

Haha Cereal Lain

Present day, Present time!!!

[–] kinetic_donor@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

cereal, lol

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

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

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

[–] ZonenRanslite@feddit.org 12 points 5 days ago

This is funny because its true.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 11 points 5 days 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 5 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days 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

Hides stash of thinkpads…

[–] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do you flash Libreboot or Canoeboot?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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 4 days ago (1 children)

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 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 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.

Poor Copland OS Enterprise, forgotten 😔

[–] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 4 points 4 days ago

Can't relate. That's after selfhosting not Linux. I only have 1 laptop anyways to do work on.

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days 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 5 days 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 4 days 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.

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

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That's me.
disgusted at myself voices

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

Especially when you work in a place with good ewaste

[–] cenzorrll@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days 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
