    I may have found ways to make computers not work but in the process I usually find ways to make them work again. Its a cycle

    Computer works -> I get bored -> I mess around -> it no longer works -> I fix it -> repeat

      i’m not sure it’s even possible to learn computer without make computer not work, even memorizing the entire arch wiki isn’t going to help that much unless you’ve actually had experience with the things it talks about

      In the words of Tommy Edison, “I have not failed, I have simply found 1000 ways to make a computer not work.”

      I just broke my backup server upgrading to trixie, so I got to see if my backup of my backup server was backed up properly (it wasn’t) and if I could bring it back up again (I could).

      There’s zero reason I should be updating this device. It does two things, offers an NFS share to a server, then creates incremental backups of what that server puts on there.

      literally real. windows refresh and sandbox or atomic system components have been huge for me for this reason as it encourages me to mess around.
