I’ve been wondering about some of the threads here. Maybe you are onto something.

I don’t really have any of those. My stuff goes down and I later get around to restarting it. I’m a wimp in not self hosting more important stuff like email. But my media files are on a local disk rather than a server.

I still can’t make any sense of that. How about a 1 click vps install, or a disc image for a raspberry pi if someone wants to host at home? Special hardware is a nightmare to build and use. Is there ONE person here who would buy and deploy a thing like this? I know I wouldn’t.

Catalytic hand warmers (they run on lighter fuel) also still exist fwiw.

Get a cheap one on lowendspirit.com instead.

Depends on the specs. If it’s really old the power consumption will cost more than you’d spend on newer hardware. I have such a box sitting at home doing nothing. It’s cheaper to rent a hetzner dedi.

Just get a vps it still counts as self hosting if you run all the software yourself.

Wtf this makes no sense. Just use the existing software.

That leaves you with 17 more of them though.

These are mini PCs right? So you want something with a room full of humans or some type of local online service. Anyway, not a purely computer project.

Library terminals and game room come to mind, but neither are for installing at home.

Ram shortage too. But most users should avoid QLC.
