This is important. I dunno about scale, but backups. I started out hosting a chat room on a raspberry pi. It was a fun side project. But then, that became where my friends all hung out. That was the place, so it became important to me. And then the SD card got corrupted. I then moved on to a consumer laptop. It was way more stable, much faster. But if I messed up anything about the installation, I was hosed.

I very highly suggest using Proxmox, like you say, and setting up automatic backups. And occasionally transfer them to a hard drive. It doesn't matter what kind of virtual CPUs or services you install, gedaliyah@lemmy.world, as long as you have a plan for when something you host becomes important to you and you lose it.

Proxmox on physical servers hosting a variety of vanilla Debian installations. I have a physical router running pfsense as well as two HP miniservers running OpenMediaVault.

The problems I've had with my RPis have all revolved around the fragility of their SD storage. I got burned one too many times trying to host something important in my house with these things, just for them to get corrupted and lose everything. Backing up these systems was its own nightmare, which failed as much as it succeeded.

If they could force you to pay a royalty every time you so much as thought of a book you once read, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

You mean Chromium Brave Edition?

It's always a matter of degrees. The bigger the injustice, the more violence is justified to rectify it. It is in the disproportionality, in my view, where the problem arises.

Never forget that humans are just barely evolved apes. Sometimes a swift knock to the head is required to activate those neural pathways to discourage anti-social behavior. Not always, but also not never. Claiming otherwise is just self-aggrandizing moralization that people use to make themselves sound and feel superior.

And the article is making the case explicitly that this is bad. He is saying that 9/11 brought about terrible actions from us and that we should learn lessons and not repeat our mistakes. He's actually trying to convince the reader that we should not "swallow" another genocide.

You keep describing it as jingoistic and the author didn't claim or even appear to be heavily nationalistic and in fact appeared quite the opposite.

...did you read the post? It feels like you did not read the content of the post.

That seems pretty high to me. You can try using this calculator to see how much you might be spending. It has an 825W power supply. So I supposed the worst case scenario of completely maxing out its usage 24 hours a day would be about $70 a month. But that is just absurd usage. You'll be using much less than that 99% of the time.

To be honest, it isn't really something I think about. Energy consumption just is what it is in this household. Part of the expense of working with the tools I need.

It is definitely a powerful machine, but I do not know what the power draw is, I'm sorry.

From all the war stories you see online, they don't have that much to lose.
