Is it good to be engaged enough to be recognised in Lemmy? I don’t know if the big players around here are just spending their entire day on Lemmy as many people on Redditors do. There is a small part of me that too wishes to be recognized as an active member in this community but I don’t want it at the expense of my real life.
Fun fact: I have watched none of the movies listed here in the comments
Inside Job.
I didn’t really watch shows on Netflix and I couldn’t care less about people complaining about their shows being cancelled left and right. But Inside Job was recommended by my friend and I loved it. After finding out it was cancelled after 2 seasons, I finally understood the pain these people were feeling all along…
Wait, is an old laptop also good enough for setting up a home server? I thought you would require a completely separated and dedicated PC box like the ones you can see in studios or offices. That’s new to me!
That is a great analogy of explaining the broadness of the concept of self hosting that I wasnt able to understand from the other comments.
As a beginner, I would like to start out with a storage provider like Google Drive (& Google Photos). I currently don’t have any hardware for a home server but I can get one as per my requirements.
The biggest issue for me would be the OS running in the home server. I would preferably want something compatible with Windows since I have worked with Windows for my whole life. I am also fine with working with Linux, however I don’t want to spend weeks banging my head on setting up and using Linux before I even start configuring it for my home server. I will be able to handle learning about networkings of the server on the go and troubleshoot problems as long as the OS does not bother me. As with self hosting, I am a beginner in the field of Linux so I don’t know what ‘distro’ would be best for me for this purpose, but nonetheless I will research more about it thanks to your headstart.
I’ve already watched the movie. Does it make the book redundant?
I swear it wasn’t intentional 😓
Truth be told, I have been reading graphic novels for a month now. I wanted to move away from comics in favour of starting to read books, but like I said in the post, I do not know of any books that could provide a similar amount of humor as from the dialogs in these comics, which is the primary reason why I read them, not because of the illustrations.
Can you elaborate on this ‘nerdy humor’? If it is what I believe it to be, I could also enjoy that. I love memes and jokes revolving around complex maths and scientific phenomena that you need to have properly studied in order to understand the humor.
I am seeing this comment right after I finished ‘Life is Strange’…
Tap for spoiler
I think I will stay away from time travel for now
