Nobody is saying that air condition should not be built into hospitals and homes for old people for environmental reasons.

I've met that nobody. It's my colleague. Make no mistake, there are people who actually believe that "people dying" vs "increased energy consumption and/or environmental damage" is a tradeoff worth considering.

better insulated

That's part of the issue, yes. It will keep out heat for longer, but it will also keep the heat in for longer.

Uh huh. I am a steam machine rival too. Just give me ram, storage, cpu, gpu and a motherboard and I'll run games for ya no problem at all. That'll be nine ninety-nine.

Ooh, I have the same keyboard as you do. I use it only for trips to the office tho

dunno why you're downvoted. native games that are 10 years old rarely run for me, there's always some issue with the libraries, even though supposedly they were built against SLR.

Knytt Underground - lovely little metroidvania by Nifflas. I expect some people to know this one, but it does have only 226 reviews on Steam and deserves more. Bundling this one with Ynglet - another game by him (and some other devs)

Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages - I remember enjoying the writing in this one, as well as quite detailed ship customization. A weird lil shmup RPG, not even sure what to compare it with. A slow burner for sure though, give it some time to open up. Also on Steam, but seems like it's restricted in some regions there.

The Sea Will Claim Everything / The Lands of Dream - a very crusty "window" into another world, made by one of the writers for The Talos Principle. Quite personal, too, as you'll find out if you stick with it.

I love Duskers! (therefore you're getting a downvote) But hopefully you'll be pleased to learn they've announced a sequel: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2211630/Duskers_20/

The Dream Machine - point and click quest made of clay and cardboard.

yes, but as long as it makes a profit it doesn't really matter, why would they want to lose money on a chunk of population

you may wanna consider the fact that subcultures contain more than one individual and they are not in fact a homogeneous biomass with a single opinion

Hey!

I've decided that it's time to finally get something resembling an actual server for my home setup, and I was hoping you folks could give me some pointers (given the current prices).

My current set up is just my old laptop with 2 external hard drives plugged in - one is the regular portal USB HDD, another is 3.5 HDD plugged via powered enclosure (ZFS and LUKS on both). I want to switch that for something relatively small, but extendable, as I want to add more disk space in the future. I'm selfhosting Plex, Immich and Navidrome, and occasionally some multiplayer games like Valheim. I'm not planning to use Proxmox or TrueNAS/whatever, I mostly just plan to throw Debian on it and spin everything in Docker.

I looked through some guides on https://selfhosting.sh/ and on Reddit, but that just got me more confused, as everyone keeps suggesting Optiplexes and NUCs, but I don't get how to combine that with 20TB+ disk space while ensuring the disks are secure and well powered. Plus my understanding is most of those mini-PC's/refurbished workstations use regular DDR3/4, whereas I was hoping to get ECC.

Should I go DIY route, or is there something I could get as a solid enough base to expand in the future? If DIY is the answer - what mobo/cpu/case should I get? My ideal budget (for everything excluding hard drives and maybe PSU since I have one lying around) is ~500 euros, but if paying a bit more would mean a substantially better deal - then I'd be OK with that. I'm in Berlin, so if you know any good local markets - that'd be great too.

Thanks!


UPD: So, I've learned of the existence of bargainhardware, which drastically changed my approach and so far I'm leaning towards https://www.bargainhardware.co.uk/dell-poweredge-t330-tower-server

(Yes, I understand it's loud and more power-hungry than some of the other options out there, but it does tick all of the boxes...)
