The plot thickens. Please make it stop!

Well, I don’t have TikTok and I didn’t shower, still worked just fine.

Offering your opinion as an “actual argument with actual data” and a link to amnesty international does NOT constitute a coherent, well formed argument.

Reporting me with “uncivil comment” only shows your evasiveness to real discourse and that you will try to silence and put down anyone that disagrees with because you have no real argument to offer.

Good luck in the real world buddy, you’ll need it.

Given their religion

Definitely not an argument against a specific point, but a generalization against an entire population. Pretty much ad hominem on a large scale.

What a bigot with no actual argument. Begone now and thank you 😘

The setup seems quite beefy relative to anything I ever owned. I understand that my power bill will be more costly if I leave this running 24/7.

Compared to 4 RPi’s running 24/7, how much more energy do you suppose I’ll be expending?

I ask because my basic understanding of electrical engineering states that my system will only draw as much power as it needs (not the full rated 650W), so I’m not really sure how that compares to all 4 RPi’s running.

Thank you for your insight, I see your point.

Why do you say they abandoned desktop computers though? Aren’t they still designing and selling iMacs? Aren’t those considered desktop computers?

😂

That is a great explanation. It makes perfect sense to me know. Thank you

Can you please explain to me the difference? How does a swapdisk compare to RAM? I don’t mind googling it but I highly doubt I’ll get a straightforward ELI5 style answer from there.

I would really appreciate it if you can elaborate, if you have the time that is.

Thank you.

How do you monitor your wattage?

Doesn’t swap reduce the lifespan of storage though?

Lol 😂

Most of my services use a network mounted drive so storage isn’t really a factor (although the more the merrier of course).

My main bottleneck is computation power.

Just curious, why is an x86 architecture a sought after feature in your opinion? My understanding is that ARM is more “bang for your buck” in terms of computation effort to power draw.

I say this because my M2 (ARM based) MacBook does all sorts of heavy lifting and still lasts me more than a day on a single charge compared to my old Intel MacBook running the same services doing the exact same stuff.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I would really appreciate to learn more from people who have more knowledge than I am.

Valid point, I see where you are coming from.

Bruh, I love you.

Thank you

At this price point, why are RPi’s even a thing? Wow!

Where do people find equipment this cheap? Ya’ll are mind blowing with your ability to score things for such low prices.

Any links?
