Nerds fix stuff around the house? Girl, I couldn't even repair that plumbing if I wanted to. This is a job for a professional.
Nerd here that was EXTREMELY disappointed in losing the opportunity to own a house.
I wanted to get into the home electronics/plumbing stuff. Although to be honest, I am less keen on the plumbing since it's a wet mess.
We like to mix water and electricity anyway, like pipewire
Yeah, PoW (Power over Water) is awesome! I use it everywhere.
Still don't get the name...
Oh, the wetness is far from the worst part.
Depends if you are messing with blue pipes or black ones.
Mine are all copper and iron.
Beats lead...
Actually, some nerds are handy with electronics and stuff like that, myself included.
It could be even worse. Some needs enjoy to learn things, anything. Doesn't,t matter if it's NixOs or plastering.
Oh yeah, I love learning things. It doesn't mean I love actually doing them.
This is me. Software developer by day, endless diyer and hobby starter by night (at least on nights when I'm not dissociating on the couch)
Let's not monopolize the word nerds for us computer nerds. There are also engineering nerds for example, the guys that have 2 3d printers, 3 CNC machines, and a few industrial robot arms in their garage so that they can build the tiniest bike ever.
Nerds of all sciences unite!
It says a lot that when I read that my first thought was "oh so like keeping the self hosted services running and whatnot" for a second 😅
this would work on me tbh
