Just setup my own instance! Happy so far!

I learned about this years ago when I pulled into a McDonalds at midnight for coffee. Guy said they didn't have any made but would make a pot, and that me buying the cup of coffee paid for the whole large pot.

If it's weight is anything like water, 550 gallons would weigh near 2.5 tons

Had to downvote but it really is an awesome game. Great physics and combat, universe, politics and economics.

Caddy has been the easiest reverse proxy I've setup over the years.

Refurbished drive. I've had 4 white label drives running for a number of years without issue, planning on eventually getting 12 more and maxing out my servers.
Unfortunately that's years down the line :(

Throwing in my own data, I have a small server rack at home that runs a brocade icx4630 switch and dell r720, idles around 250w. My desktop setup, monitors, amp, computer itself etc idles around 200w.

My shit just beeps at the end of the timer and you can't even hear it if you're in the other room. If you forget to turn off the oven, it just stays on forever.

...piece of shit

I remember looking into solar some 20 years ago. 5kWh battery bank was practically unheard of and iirc correctly was roughly $1k per kWh. Hopefully somebody with the time can come and correct numbers. Today you can find 5kWh battery banks for ~$2k.

Inverters I remember being about $5k-$10k for house sized and capable of running AC unit. Today roughly $1k-$2k.

Solar panels themselves I've not priced, but iirc I remember large arrays being $20k-$30k or more.

The cost to DIY a whole home off grid solar and battery bank system has gotten beyond easier, safer and an absolute fuck ton cheaper

Proton is amazing as long as you don't get bit by anticheat, which thankfully is getting better.

Thankfully I don't play many games with anticheat so almost the entirety of my game library runs on my Linux install.

Still playing Stationeers. If you want detailed survival game, Stationeers is it. Grind for ores to smelt and make parts. Blow up your base, cause you forgot ice melts in your hand. Suffocate cause you forgot to close your helmet when you left your base. Did you turn that gas mixer off? What's that noi...

Big love for Proxmox.
