  • I think so too. My kids are around the age I was when I first started tinkering with PCs, but they don’t have any awareness of what’s going on under the hood, (to be frank, nor do they seem to need it, as everything is so polished these days).

    I’m thinking of asking their teachers if I can take them out of school for a day each and bring them to work with me for educational purposes so they get some perspective in the form of networks and servers.

    Sure, they’re mostly interested in gaming, but I want them to see what kind of infrastructure is needed for a multiplayer game, specifically the hardware that they never get to see.

    I’m building a new server stack in a couple of months, and most of it will be used for testing, so I’d like for them to help build and connect it.


  • First of all, welcome.

    Depends what you’re after, really. I find that lemmy has less of an echo chamber, but the average political stance is a lot more left-ish than reddit.

    If your opinion is considered garbage, you’ll probably be downvoted for it, but banned is another thing; You can find an instance more to your liking, for example if you post tankie stuff on lemmygrad, you’ll probably only get praise from there.

    It mostly comes down to how a platform with many people tend to naturally operate - garbage people get treated at such by the rest. So whatever your leanings might be, I suggest you find an instance that is somewhat reasonably close to share your values.

    Other than that, one of the main differences from reddit is the content quantity - Smaller user base means less content. And I’m perfectly fine with that, as I can keep up with the feed without scrolling for hours.

    Also, here I can say that I don’t give two shits about neither Zelda nor Link, without fear of backlash. At least yhe contemporary games - Everything since Link II for NES has been kinda meh in my book.

    And if you want to filter out politics, blocking lemmygrad takes away most of the tankie-spam.













  • Jeg kom hit for å si noen marginalt kloke ord, men jeg ser du kom meg i forkjøpet.

    Det eneste argumentet jeg ser imot er merkostnaden med vedlikehold. Så lenge noen ser seg villig til å ta den regninga, så ser ikke jeg helt problemet. Jeg vil gjerne invitere Vegvesnene til å komme med statistikk om antall folk som blir skadd av regnbue-farger satt opp mot folk som får juling fordi de er skeive.
