Fair - what I said was kind of ambiguous. But yeah, “self-built” as “I bought a computer-of-Theseus 20y ago, and as I’ve bought new parts nothing of the original remains, so it’s a new computer.”
Technically true, but as an admin with root priviledges, I can access system private keys and directly manage it’s identity, such that it’s choice is usually what I told it to want.
Tangent, boy I cannot wait for neurolink to let Grok in my brain. I’m sure it will lead to lots of new ways of thinking for me. 🙃😶😶🙄
I don’t go so far. Only my pets get a surname, and it’s the family’s surname. (Some of the household appliances have kind of melodramatic names though, specially if they break often. Like Solineuza, the washing machine.)
I named* my first self-built computer after him! Does this make that machine gay? They put chemicals in the bytes that turn the friggin’ hardware gay!
*call me a weirdo but I do often name stuff like household appliances and my trees.
Can I see your homebrew computer? I am working on 6502 rn and this sounds interesting
Turing is gone for years; got replaced with Midgard and then Tiberis, the current machine. Here’s Tiberis:
inb4 my desk is a mess and to be replaced, and I need to clean Tiberis’ guts. The pics highlight how dirty it is.

Oh sorry I thought it was homebrew as in built from logic gates. Cool machine anyways

The only one who can decide your computer is gay is the computer itself.

The gayest computer that ever existed was that cunty little bastard on Courage the Cowardly Dog.
My friend’s mom occasionally gives full names, like forename+surname and uses them as such

I do think that this makes you weird (affectionate), and I hope you never change, because your weirdness is wonderful.
