It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out

For startup costs, ~80€ for a used micro PC a few years back (+100€ for a 1TB SSD for it).

Since then

• 6€/yr domain
• 48€/yr email (proton plus using domain above)
• I’m thinking of setting up Backblaze B2 for offsite backup, should be ~20€/yr for about 250GB stored continuously if I calculated right

I never bothered with electricity costs, since it’s a small micro PC. It probably uses sub 20W average, which, next to an AC, fridge, and WFH costs, has to be negligible, the cost of buying a measuring device in itself is probably not worth it

Given that there’s an acknowledgement of the tool in a 1996 article, the software may even be older than sex itself

Also what a time capsule this page is lol, nothing wrong with it really… just a relic of a different era

That was quite a refreshing article, and so… human, probably the biggest compliment nowadays.

People love open source software not because it’s free, but because it is open. That openness brings all sorts of benefits

And I really love this quote from it, I stopped to think for a bit about it, but yeah. Being open and trusting the source is waay more important than being free monetarily

Wow ‘can’t keep pace’ is a mild way of putting it, the article says an RX 6600 XT gets on average 3x as much FPS in Cyberpunk as this flagship card (~240 vs 80) :D

Still, everything has to start somewhere, and I’m always happy for potentially more competitors in the market, that only helps us consumers

My setup is a barebones Alpine Linux with ssh and docker, and everything I run on it is a container (except backups).

Those I manage remotely (remote Docker context), so the only time I have to log in is to do an update for the few system packages and that’s it. And for that ssh is more than enough
