There is no way you are serious, it’s just a website. You can’t compare it to one of the most famous works of art.


There is no way you are serious, it's just a piece of paper. You can't compare it to one of the most famous websites.

It can pretty easily go both ways. The Mona Lisa have been a cultural icon for a long time, but Twitter has had a massive influence on culture since it's inception.


There are other similarities with Elon’s Twitter too. It’s hard to tell where the Mona Lisa is looking or what’s going on with her. There is a strange fog in the background and some scorched earth.


You are misinformed, canvas is not paper.


The Mona Lisa was painted on a wood panel, not paper or canvas.


So much for me being smarty-pants...


I don't think it matters for the point I was making.


Seeing as Art is riddled with subjectivity, you absolutely could. And calling twitter “just a website” is disingenuous as it facilitates real-time global communication and a scale not previously reached by humans. I personally never used twitter, but I still respect what they built.


NAT, the bane of my sysadmin existence.


Or you could use a cloud providers free tier, but then you have to give up your credit card info and name for “verification”


I write shitty code only I understand for job security. This is probably why I’m a sysadmin lol.


Sounds pretty lit, Edit:Dang you guys really hated that


Yeah, jokes are touchy. People commonly feel that it detracts from interesting conversation. In practice, there are sometimes “allowed” jokes; otherwise timing it later after the post at least garners fewer downvotes.


The best part is I made that comment an hour after the post and was the second overall lol


That’s a good point. Perhaps “after the conversation” is more accurate, though harder to define. Still, it got a chuckle out of me.


I agree with the after the conversation point. And as long as one person chuckled the downvotes are worth it.


If there is more interest I would be willing to host a public instance, but it doesn’t seem like this is getting the attention to make it worth setting it up.


Maybe it's not getting the attention because there is no public demo instance?


Good point


As soon as I saw this was put on the steam store I knew it was a matter of time until it was removed. Im surprised that Retro Arch has been on the store this long, probably because it doesn’t have any emulator cores for modern systems


As a heavy Linux and foss user, I use iOS because I know it’s secure and has more specialized builds for my device.


I love this, my friend hates comic sans so I’m definitely using this for April fools


I’ve gotten used Lenovo ThinkCenters for $30 on eBay. Sure they’re used and have a 3rd generation i3, but it’s the best budget home server option out there! They can easily replace whatever done on a pi and even more.


Yep ThinkCentres, Optiplexes, and Elite Desks go for pennies on eBay.


Got to love used office equipment! I’m a big Optiplex fan and I use one as my daily personal pc for everything. I use ThinkCenters for most of my Homelab due to the fact that I’ve found them the cheapest, but I use Optiplexs when I need something stronger. But I’ve never used an Elite Desk in a homelab, how do they compare to Optiplexs and ThinkCenters?


I've never been a big fan of HP, but they seem to be roughly equivalent to the Optiplexes. The lab I used to work in had dozens of them and they seemed to run just fine without complaints.


That’s good to know, I guess that the shitty HP build quality only applies to consumer intended products. Just another example of why refurbished or used enterprise equipment is the way to go.Thanks!
