Yes, same here. I have this setup replicated and do demos for people whenever there is interest. It's the strongest connection I have to the arcane old ways of computing as I came after punch cards and paper tape.
I used to work in a lab and we set up all 256 machines with the screensaver for when they weren't running tasks. It was fun to walk though there and think we were "helping".
Get used to it. Culture your independence. Learn how to sit alone in a room by yourself and enjoy your thoughts. Get off the doom scrolling life path and love yourself.
