My Homelab Build - Christine Dodrill
There are many things you can be cursed into enjoying. One of my curses is enjoying philosophy/linguistics. This leads you into many fun conversations about how horrible English is that can get boring after a while. One of my other, bigger curses is that I'm a computer person. Specifically a computer person that enjoys playing with distributed systems. This is an expensive hobby, especially when all you really have is The Cloud™.
One thing that I do a lot is run virtual machines. Some of these stick around, a lot of them are very ephemeral. I also like being able to get into these VMs quickly if I want to mess around with a given distribution or OS. Normally I'd run these on my gaming tower, however this makes my tower very load-bearing. I also want to play games sometimes on my tower, and even though there have been many strides in getting games to run well on Linux it's still not as good as I'd like it to be.
<Cadey> In fact, it's actually kinda convenient that it's hard for me to play games on Linux so that it's harder for me to have entire days eaten by doing it. Factorio and other games like it are really dangerous for me.
