Forget trad wives, the new influencer trend should be #NerdWives.

@elena Love that!

That's what I try to do!

I also did a nextcloud with mrs Hyde, and a JohnnyDecimal system for all our paperwork, invoices, etc... She loves it!

@elena I am in love 😉

@hyde awesome!

[elena@aseachange.com]

@TCMuffin haha thank you Jayne 🥰​ right back at you! ❤️​

[elena@aseachange.com]

@UrbanDjent I think the Fediverse is a really good place to find a #NerdWife 😆​

@elena I've been looking for a subculture of parents who get our kids to use open source and open licensed content and/or developing it for them. Not enough of that happening. I need more!

[elena@aseachange.com]

@csgraves I'm not sure you need NextCloud for your particular needs...

I actually wrote a while back a guide about how to install it with YunoHost, if you are curious about it: https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost/ (3rd article in the series)

[elena@aseachange.com]

@harry_wood I have come across so many fellow parents who have been introducing their kids to open source tools.

I'm not aware of any formal associations... but it's always so nice to connect with them. Maybe we should start a group 😊​

[rcosta@archaeo.social]

@elena Oh! That kind of wives are not a new trend, they always existed! Unfortunately only some men/women are lucky enough to marry them😉.

[sharksonaplane@mastodon.sandwich.net]

@elena @harry_wood Veronica Explains does this!

She's on fedi via GTS also, as explains.social/@veronica

[elena@aseachange.com]

@rcosta oooh I know! I meant as a popular inspirational trend... mainstream media and commercial social media only boost super vapid trends unfortunately

[fxiz@mastodon.social]

@verymetalsite @elena that is indeed the biggest flex I know of. But sad only a few will understand it

[elena@aseachange.com]

@Fxiz trying my best to normalize it with my family and friends (it goes over their head or they think it’s useless / too complicated, but I persevere) 😅

@elena I am working on becoming a #NerdGrandma but the little grey cells are balking. I may come back hoping for tips on setting up what I need to run a local Bonfire instance, and/or Ghost, so my grandsons have someplace safe to play....

[baconandcoconut@freeradical.zone]

@elena @csgraves This is very much a "yes and" ... if you end up getting really excited about what all you could self-host, there's a whole book written for folks who are early on in their journey, (by @meonkeys )

[suzannealdrich@hachyderm.io]

@elena Does it have to be wives though? What about those of us who are not partnered?

[kevin@dice.camp]

@elena I have a nerd wife. Instead of arguing about which restaurant to eat at we argue about opening firewall ports, do we put the one device on the same guest network as the in-laws or its own (more out of fear of what the in-laws bring), who gets to upgrade their machine(s), why she gets a fancier web cam, what am I *really* storing on the NAS, etc.

Of course, the nerdly hobbies is where it gets fun :D

@nirina 😂​😂​😂​😂​ this genuinely made me laugh out loud. I LOVE IT
