    The masculine urge to buy a bunch of computers, deck my room out like some cyberpunk rat nest and do secret software stuff. (Seriously what would you even have multiple computers do.)

      Run Multiple Services silly. How do you think Spotify, Netflix, and all these other goofy things operate? I think it is the obsession to locally host your own services and compartmentalize things so things don’t all come crashing down at once. It totally makes sense to me. And I don’t even think it’s masculine. I think chicks would even dig it too. I think they do actually dig it. I think you’re just told as a female that that’s just not for you. And some resist. No subscription for me, thank you very much. All these major tech-bro companies have blood on their hands. And what they do is nothing special.

    It’s like “I have a windows computer, I install software on it and use the software. Why would I need more than 1?” Turns into “ooohhh, computers are great. All the things I can run and host. Software isn’t just a gui”.

    It’s like learning to love computers again
