after linux
What a handsome man.
Serial Experiments Lain. Great, but very very weird, anime.
Can’t relate. That’s after selfhosting not Linux. I only have 1 laptop anyways to do work on.
All those power lines in the window view feed just that apartment.
notice how the plushies never leave. true linux user.
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!
Why have a “reservoir” when you can just staple a hose end to the floor and ignore complaints
Nothing changed just leaned in
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?
I think some kind of cli tool.
Probably curses.
Curses? What’s is curses? /s
I just use ascii.
ASCII? What’s that? /me thumps stack of punch cards on table
Punch cards? What are that? /me grapping my abacus to add up 2 numbers.
Abacus? What is that?
/me grabbing my dedicated pile of stones so I can throw one into ground for each individual sheep I see to make sure I didn’t lose any as counting wasn’t invented yet
totally fake, who works on a table when the floor is so much bigger and comfortable
lain <33333
Everyone loves Lain :D
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.)
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.
(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
Haha Cereal Lain
Present day, Present time!!!
cereal, lol
Not me having random urges to use old Linux laptops as servers
Thats how my homelab started! Now I have power-draw problems |:(
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
Poor Copland OS Enterprise, forgotten 😔
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
Hides stash of thinkpads…
Do you flash Libreboot or Canoeboot?
I have used the fedora boot program for my last usb install.
I’ve not heard of that. Does Fedora have its own coreboot distro, or is it something else?
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.
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
.isofile, can you not simply use theddcommand?)
