Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Nerds fix stuff around the house? Girl, I couldn't even repair that plumbing if I wanted to. This is a job for a professional.

    Nerd here that was EXTREMELY disappointed in losing the opportunity to own a house.

    I wanted to get into the home electronics/plumbing stuff. Although to be honest, I am less keen on the plumbing since it's a wet mess.

    We like to mix water and electricity anyway, like pipewire

    [–] lud@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

    Yeah, PoW (Power over Water) is awesome! I use it everywhere.

    Still don't get the name...

    [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Oh, the wetness is far from the worst part.

    [–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Depends if you are messing with blue pipes or black ones.

    [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Mine are all copper and iron.

    Actually, some nerds are handy with electronics and stuff like that, myself included.

    It could be even worse. Some needs enjoy to learn things, anything. Doesn't,t matter if it's NixOs or plastering.

    [–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

    Oh yeah, I love learning things. It doesn't mean I love actually doing them.

    This is me. Software developer by day, endless diyer and hobby starter by night (at least on nights when I'm not dissociating on the couch)

    [–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 15 points 2 months ago

    Let's not monopolize the word nerds for us computer nerds. There are also engineering nerds for example, the guys that have 2 3d printers, 3 CNC machines, and a few industrial robot arms in their garage so that they can build the tiniest bike ever.

    Nerds of all sciences unite!

    It says a lot that when I read that my first thought was "oh so like keeping the self hosted services running and whatnot" for a second 😅

    this would work on me tbh
