I want to know he they built that visualization

Yeah kind of totally agree. Trying to self host without using the terminal would be like trying to drive a car without touching the steering wheel with your hands. It’s possible but dangerous and cumbersome.

Don’t let it scare you. Get something installed to let you build some VMs to play around without worries (Virtualbox, VM Workstation, parallels), and install a distribution like Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and start to play. To self host all you really need is learning some basic file manipulation (move,copy,remove), how to edit text files (vi,emacs,nano), and the basic directory structure. That will get you 90% of the way there. When you see things like awk, sed, grep ask an AI to explain it, they are actually useful for that. These sort of commands start getting into advanced things like output redirection and regex which can be EXTREMELY confusing. Heck I have a CS degree, been in IT for almost 30 years, and I’ve been using Linux since the mid 90s and some of that still confuses me. So basically don’t fret if it’s too confusing, you are totally not alone. Play, screw up, try to fix it, curse, read a lot, try again, realize it’s toast, start over. Honestly I think I just described my job 😂

Why do I believe if Mythbusters was still on the air they’d actually try this.

Two words I never thought I’d see together… poop drone.

I’m old school so an odometer should never do anything other than measure wheel rotations with a multiplier of circumference of the tire.

Maybe if you wanna get fancy have the multiplier occasionally recalibrated based on GPS but that’s it.

Well I guess it depends on when you bought it. If it was off eBay recently to try this new open platform that would be way less moronic.

Yggdrasil In the mid 90s.

Well shit… I don’t even think about that.

Why is the narrator always Ron Howard in my head?

Ah so more market manipulation… got it. Jesus I hate this douchebag.

Yeah I didn’t wanna pay that for a PS5. And the PS5 GPU alone is likely 5 times more power then what’s rumored to be in the switch 2… no way I’m paying that for a switch.

It’s just a matter of time before those are enshittified as well.

Edit: ok my bad… apparently you can side load different launchers. I may check one of those out then.

I totally read that as killing machine and got confused.

I wasn’t.

They weren’t war plans. They were attack plans. /s 🤦‍♂️

I actually kinda think it was intentional. Any business savvy person knew these tariffs were coming and that they would be disruptive especially to something like the Switch 2.

I gotta comment on the mid 70s thing and how great it is to hear that. I have also been into computers since the late 70s (well and early 80s) although I imagine I got started a little younger than you … like I was 8 and writing basic/ assembly on my various machines back in the day (TRS-80 Model III, Tandy CoCo 2, Coleco Adam, C64). So I’m only mid 50s and I thought I was the old guy around here :) But damn if you don’t give me hope that I can stay like this for many years to come.

I’m not sure “Reddit levels of activity” is necessarily a good thing :)

But yeah that takes some getting used to for sure. I would think this is one of the more popular communities here for kinda obvious reasons given the nature of Lemmy. I’ve only been here since the first great migration but I’ve already seen Lemmy in general grow tremendously.

That is a very good question.

Man he’s such a little fucking snowflake isn’t he?
