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?
It’s the thing you run when your Parallel Processing Card is not doing anything and you go - “might as well”
notice how the plushies never leave. true linux user.
Nothing changed just leaned in

Hides stash of thinkpads…
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
All those power lines in the window view feed just that apartment.
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
Serial Experiments Lain. Great, but very very weird, anime.
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.)
(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
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.
after linux
What a handsome man.
Mmmmmm Dell R340 with Debian
I’ve got a random guitar amp I found next to a dumpster plugged into my raspberry pi…
