Apologies if this is a silly/slighty off topic idea, but I thought I would at least mention it... I just bought a $250 refurbished Dell Optiplex 7020. 30 GB Ram. (Intel says max Ram is 16GB...the RAM upgrader (crucial) says max ram is 30GB). 3 TB HDD. 4th generation Intel CPU. I'm planning on having a simple server at home. My ISP will let me run my own server. I'm not certain how good my internet connection will be, but I would be interested in hosting a substitute server, though I would guess that very quickly the cost of hosting it would get pretty expensive...Just a thought. A $250 desktop machine is fairly inexpensive. :) Also, I just heard from Luke Leighton (from E0MA68 and the upcoming libreGPU), that you could buy a raptor computer with 1TB of RAM for about $40,000. :) > > Ludo’. > -- Joshua Branson (joshuaBPMan in #guix) Sent from Emacs and Gnus https://gnucode.me https://video.hardlimit.com/accounts/joshua_branson/video-channels https://propernaming.org "You can have whatever you want, as long as you help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar
