I suspect the actual PC used is at least fairly powerful though. Like someone else said it's likely using ECC as its mission critial, so chances are it also has other expensive server parts inside. Not all powerful computers actually look like anything fancy at all. This post reminds me of things like the watercooling subreddit and the amount of effort and money they put into things like aesthetics, that don't actually improve performance at all. Even though the original point of watercooling was performance.
"It really doesn't look like much. And I have to say, the most interesting part in this picture, that people mostly react to, is the walking desk. It is the most interesting part in my office, and I'm not actually using it anymore."
— Linus Torvalds, The mind behind Linux
I had a friend ask for recommendations for prebuilts. I found one that was under budget and over spec for their needs and sent them the info. They ended up going with an overbudget one with arguably worse specs (they didn't really need the specs I was suggesting but bang for buck it made sense and was still under budget) because it had all the lights that the seller could shove in it. No real judgement if that's your style and you have the money, but it just upset me to have spent time doing research for them only to have them ignore all of that because they failed to mention that lights were important.
And the guys who invented UNIX did so by using toggle switches and teletypes...
do you have a walking desk? yes WELL YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT
Its the treadmill.
The treadmill gives you infinite power.
Yea because to make Linux and GIT you have to have starkly different world view.
I remember trying to use one edition of MSDN (MicroSloth Developer Network if I recall correctly) on my laptop a few years ago. Whoever had developed the UI for it had been using a giant monitor because on a small laptop screen the article contents in the right-hand detail panel didn't word-wrap correctly, so reading the article required constant scrolling left-and-right with the horizontal scroll bar (which sometimes didn't even show up). For six months I just got in the habit of copying-and-pasting the contents into a simple text editor so that I could actually read the shit normally.
I've long advocated making developers use the shittiest equipment and no extra monitors, just to ensure that what we build actually works on most machines. I'm not a monster: the money saved could be used to give developers ACTUAL FUCKING OFFICES.
There was some old interview with Linus. He said that the first thing people usually notice about the setup is the standing desk (this was long ago, and he was a bit of a trendsetter). The second thing they notice is the wall colour. It's used in mental hospitals. It has a calming effect on human mind.
The tech bro is elxokas, a youtuber from Spain
Bruhhh but my NFT's will be mooning soon!
Ew Windows 11
Torvalds could assemble a system by collecting old outdated electronic junk from a trash heap and make it work
Tech Bro needs to convince million dollar investors (or his wealthy parents) to finance his latest setup in order to install the latest Windows or Mac OS ... without money to buy new shiny things and proprietary software, he's totally lost
El puto Xokas xDDDD
The computers get faster the code gets slower and tech bros slither into our DMs
It’s a bit like alt med quacks wearing a white lab coat and carrying a stethoscope while they prescribe magical water or wave coloured crystals at you.
Random tech bro cabinet is Corsair Obsidian 1000D:
TIL I have the same treadmill desk as Linus.
Edit: and he also appears to ignore the safety clip.
Don't forget Subsurface.
I got a hydraulic mechanical standing desk (smaller area), but I also worked with two old nightstands stacked on top of each other, with a larger chipboard board on top for which I did the edge banding.

Weird seeing Xokas in the wild, outside of Spanish communities
Depends on what use are you going to give it
