    I just like being able to write shell scripts and fix shit myself.

    Though I have accumulated a closet full of various hardware and cables which oddly comes in handy.

      Alright, ive watched this anime twice and i guess im clearly missing something. What’s special about it? The animation was okay. They could have thrown in a couple of jokes to spice it up. Maybe toss a pie at the floaty girl once in a while, huh?

        What’s special about it?

        the reason it looks to you like it’s just part of the crowd is because it helped define that crowd, in a direction that was distinctly different from 80s cyberpunk and far more rooted in our modern reality - which is impressive considering it’s approaching 30 years old now and the internet was in its infancy at the time. it was a pioneer in visual elements and aesthetic vis a vis the web, and it’s ingrained in counterculture as its initial popularity spread on 4chan.

        i’ve heard it said that lain is to autism as neon genesis evangelion is to depression, so it may also just be that you’re not the target audience.

      Serial Experiments : Lain

      It’s one of the best animes I’ve watched. Be warned though it’s pretty weird but like in a good way

        Been many years since, but it was great. Was thinking about the next version of TCP/IP afterwards.

      Fair warning, it’s a weird one. I had to read a few short essays after I finished it to really get it. Highly recommend, it’s only 12 episodes so not much of a time investment

    This reminds me of a relatively early Real Life Comics, wherein a character is introduced to Linux and, shortly thereafter, is seen to be building Beowulf clusters.

        That comic is also how I learned about them! I’m glad to continue the legacy.

        Unfortunately, I have yet to find a good way to search Real Life Comics, so I can’t find the particular strip. It’s a very different comic these days.
