me when doing serial experiments (I’m using uart from a pico to a desktop)
Well at least she got a thicker matress
Serial Experiments: Lain-ux distro-hopping
In case anyone’s wondering, it’s probably because you learn that even really old computers are still really powerful and work fine under Linux especially if you’re gonna use them as a small home server.
Having the right motivations behind design decisions is everything.
I use Linux Mint Cinnamon, which is very full-featured and turn-key. It is not designed to be stripped down and lightweight; it is designed to be a drop-in replacement for windows. And it still feels like greased lightning in comparison. Windows just feels like a bad product now, even if we ignore the spying and the non-free nature of it.
every time I see a fairly priced computer on our second hand market I just wanna buy it I’m not good with money
Anytime someone I know upgrades their laptop, I’m hoping they will offer me the old one 😂
I’m thinking of upgrading from my Asus e200ha at some point. Want it when I do?
You can’t just bring in every stray you find on the street
You just need a bigger house
Fuck all technology based aesthetics except for whatever it was that Lain was serving.
I just like being able to write shell scripts and fix shit myself.
Though I have accumulated a closet full of various hardware and cables which oddly comes in handy.
This reminds me of a relatively early Real Life Comics, wherein a character is introduced to Linux and, shortly thereafter, is seen to be building Beowulf clusters.
No way you can sleep in this room, must be so damn loud and hot in there !
White noise from the slow humming fans, perfect!
For the era of tech shown, you’d also have tons of clicking and whirring hard drive noise as well. Old Hard Drives are noisy. You can hear all the seeking and read/write operations.
Personally, I find that noise comforting, but the inconsisent nature of it would make it hard to tune out.

And you can wake up when your big job is done and the fans ramp down! living in harmony with the machine
no way that bedroom is wired foe that much electrical draw
I guess you didn’t watch the anime. (Serial Experiments Lain)
In the story, some secret agency is running an experiment on her. Her family is fake, she gets custom, powerful hardware slipped to her by strangers, etc. So it is reasonable to assume that in that scenario that bedroom would actually be wired for that much electrical draw.
I think that’s what the added power pole seen in the window is for, they just tap straight off that
ah, good observation
Came here for this ❤️
Alright, ive watched this anime twice and i guess im clearly missing something. What’s special about it? The animation was okay. They could have thrown in a couple of jokes to spice it up. Maybe toss a pie at the floaty girl once in a while, huh?
What’s the source? I am 100% interested in why so many computers were acquired.
Serial Experiments : Lain
It’s one of the best animes I’ve watched. Be warned though it’s pretty weird but like in a good way
Been many years since, but it was great. Was thinking about the next version of TCP/IP afterwards.
Keep on it, I needed to watch till last episode until I understood (most)
Serial Experiments Lain. It’s a wild ride
Based on this picture, I’m pretty sure I want to be before linux…
You don’t like living in a satacenter? 🫢
I don’t think SATA was invented yet.
