  • At that point the computers is promoted (or enslaved depending on pov) and called a (home) server.

    One nuance. You don’t need to provide access from outside your home network if you don’t want to open the ports, i prefer that most of services remain local for security anyway. Once those ports are open, you or anyone else can connect to the services using your_external_ip_address:portnumber

    You also dont need to run it 24/7, i started with a minecraft server that ran on planned times only, then a system that was online during afternoon-evening but not at night-morning.

    It is also possible if not recommended, to use a vpn to tunnel in your network and than you can access everything just like if you where at home from anywhere.

    If it all sounds intimidating, a laptop to try things out will do fine. Don’t expect a perfect polished system on first try, i have redesigned my network from scratch multiple times over the years. If you do want to get serious there are plenty of offices that have “old” desktop servers with pretty impressive hardware, the fans may make a lot of noise though.

    The Hardware in my current home server is mostly parts that got upgraded in my main pc. I have reached a point where i am willing to sometimes spend extra money on what my partner sometimes dubs “my second pc” but it is also doing a lot for us at this point. Much cheaper then a store-bought NAS.





  • I want to be buried in a forest without coffin or decor.

    May the trees, other plants and fungi feast on my nutrients.

    After all the ecological destruction i caused simply by being a member of society it feels like the least i CANT DO because it would be ILLEGAL.

    There are few limited options.

    All of them cost a fortune and most of that money is for stuff i do not care about. A box or urn, some person i never met that gives a speech.

    Just put me in the ground and remember me, nothing else, please.

    But to revert to the context of the meme.

    I the dead person who gave my nutrients to the forest would be very upset if i knew they destroyed it. Graveyard on the other hand go ahead, build a neighborhood park instead.

    To be fair i do care quite a bit about that. Phones just make bad computers to me. Small screen and half is used by a keyboard.

    They seem designed to frustrate me so “it just works (most times)” is the only way i can stomach owning one.

    I have a dream where apple is forced to make ios fully open source and where screen/input devices can freely stream any system/OS from a dedicated server.

    Iphones are so “cleverly” dumb it makes them usable.

  • Autism is that you?

    “When we walk down the street, we know what we need to pay attention to—and what we don’t. Robots, on the other hand, treat all the information they receive about their surroundings with equal importance. Driverless cars have to continuously analyze data about things around them whether or not they are relevant. This keeps drivers and pedestrians safe, but it draws on a lot of energy and computing power.
