But you have a Daddy and Mommy who love you!
And, a Windows Home Server! Does that make you happy?
They had me until windows
It’s what turns it from a children’s book into a horror story
Indoctrination.
Imagine growing up with a Windows home server… ugh
True, but this book is the best thing Microsoft has made.
I won’t stand for this PowerShell superhero comic erasure.
Wow, thanks, I hated it!
Wow, seriously who tf uses Windows home server?
In 2008? More than you’d think.
Sometimes I forget it’s been that long ago. -_-
Im guessing though. I remember seeing it on 4chan as a teenager so thats between 2006 and 2010 or aomething :p
Your guess is correct. It should be 2007 or so. :)
It was perfect until that second to last page
It’s on the very first page, opposite to the office server page, and they acknowledge the Author does not exist and that it’s basically an ad for Windows server.
Why does daddy spend more time with the server than with mommy?
It’s a Windows home server, how else is he going too keep it up.
The home server never cheated on him and had a fling with windows
they had me until
windows home server
It’s clearly the old Microsoft. Current Microsoft would be “Microsoft windows azure home server 365 copilot+Server cloud” (yes it says server twice)
Yes, but current MS Azure+buzzwerds actually works.
WHS was as very, very bad layer on top of NTFS.
Yeah. I justo wanted to make a joke. Srry
Your server isn’t working today.
This is because Microsoft wants you to finish setting up your PC that has been running for ten years.
WHS wasn’t working then either.
It was an awful piece of software, you were better off just pirating Windows Server 2003r2 Standard and using the software raid5 over the WHS flaky overlay system.
They had me u til “your dad installs it”
A children’s book sponsored by Microsoft… No
I thought this was just an elaborate shitpost. that’s so unfortunate.
At first I didn’t noticed the 2nd image, and started wondering what kind of children book this is :P
Plenty of age appropriate “birds and bees” books out there, this is a “packets and pings” one.
Ping is ICMP
I have a friend that insists on using windows server. He is mentally ill
Had*
You shouldn’t abandon friends just because they have a mental problem.
Removing the word “windows” in the last frame and also “your dad installs it for your dumb mom” to “your parents install a server. Maybe your mom does it or your dad does it. Maybe you can also help!”
Teaching “children” that technical tasks are for dady to do is so cringe.
Those two little changes and it becomes a readable story.
I agree the language should be adjusted but it doesn’t say or even imply the mom is dumb, that’s a little bit of a stretch.
Yeah it seems to be from the early 2010s, some of the wording would probably be different if it was made today
I redid this book once, changing words and some pictures to make it for Linux server. I wanted a book that made sense.
Swap windows home server for server on the last page and you’re done.
Until your kid is 7/8, then you need to explain why one server isn’t enough and you need a second server somewhere else for the same reasons it shows a server being important when the computer gets pee on it.
You still got a copy? I’d love to share it with some people
Maybe. I’ll have to see if I can find it. It’s been a few years, but I hope I do still have it. If I do, I’ll share it
“They made fun of my router settings!” sobs
Linux is better.
The network responses are coming… from inside the house!
The Hairpin Route of Oak St!
I mean, I make fun of my home server all the time - its 2 old computers screwed to a wall.
As it should be! Lol
I knew someone who threw away a laptop because the screen broke.
They see junk
I see a new home server with built in ups, just rip off the screen.
Literally my first server lol
The “built-in UPS” is gonna degrade real quick, based on my experience
Damn, I thought you were joking
This is actually really funny
