You haven’t mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.

Yes, but a heat pump for heating is somwhere from 200% to 500% efficient.

Sounds like low trust society issues to be honest. I only see those systems expanding in Switzerland, and they never use annoying scales or complain about unexpected items, because there aren’t even any sensors for that.

Sounds like we need to gene splice minecraft striders into a reality.

Wow that’s a good price. I pay 64.75 Swiss Franks for that.

But at least it’s a cool little ISP serving me. they offer 10 and 25 Gbit/s for the same price, just a bit more setup fee, because the transceivers are obviously more expensive. I’ve just not taken the plunge to upgrade my router and switches.

“Allowance” what the fuck? Aren’t they infantilising their customers?

It’s not about the server being strong or weak. Good server is the one you associate with your own projects and hobby, bad server is the one you associate with work and oblications :-)

No, I use the old desktops for that.

Old laptops usually seem to go to other people:

• My first one I gave one to a girl who’s house burned down in my street.
• The second one went to my ex who is on really hard financial times and the old Macbook she got from another good soul died on her.
• The third one I traded in with my mom who really wanted a light one, and in exchange she contributed to…
• My fourth one that had more power for compiling things in my studies. This one I still have and use occasionally.
