Your service is appreciated.

Yes. Now, if we could implement an irl place without all those people as well, I think I’d like that. Everything contains idiots but I find the overall company around here at least somewhat filtered of them.

Yeah, those are awesome - but even with an ATX mainboard, a CPU and a few spinning disks it’s become easier to stay on this side of 40W.

Yeah - that has changed since then. Power usage in the 30 to 40W range is easily attainable of you take some care selecting the components.

Not much time, I’ll be brief with three examples that come to mind from my experience:

Great use: Large filestorage with regular changes, daily snapshots, stream snapshots offsite as backup.

Not so great use: Storage backend for qcow2 backed VMs on spinning RAID. CoW made a mess of access times.

Really not great use: Large Postgres-DB with queries that creted large ondisk temp tables.

It really depends.

Let’s agree on: it has a different performance for various use cases and hardware below. Sometimes better, sometimes worse.

if i use btrfs subvolumes, does it mean that i can have one EFI partition and one root partition, and then subdivide the root partition using subvolumes?

Yes.

how would that work during the installation process? or is it done after installation?

That depends on your distro. What do you plan to achieve with the separate subvolumes?

Nah, when I was on vacation there I was always allowed to drive my normal winter tires. On some mountain passes e.g. chains were mandatory though, and for good reason.

My life is way too irregular for that :/

Well, some do. In Scandinavia many people drive tires with spikes. In Germany they are illegal. Depends on how hard winter is out there.

Have remote preheating.

Forget about it all the time.

Oh great, thanks for turning on the breakfast radio in my head.

Yep. He duped Fox into paying him for a Sci-Fi comedy show and then he went and made a loving homage to Trek.

You must not be familiar with North American power systems. I would bet the op had single phase service providing 220 or 240 volt service.

Oh, I see. Yeah, well, okay, that’s basically nothing. Seems like the country isn’t really on a good path for electrifying things, then. How do they use any large electric motors at home?

Living in the boonies - I could get 3 phase, 400V, 100A for 800€, that’s 120kW. Yes, we’re paying a lot per kWh but the grid quality is okay-ish.

How long is a lease? 3 years? 4 years? My little Corsa has 95% capacity left after 3 years and 40000km.

60 amps, three phases that’s, what, 72kW at 400V - that’s more than enough. My cars charge at 11kW/3phases. I’ve got 63A service and I can charge both cars, run the heatpump, have the stove going and still have amps to spare.

And LOUD.

At least because search engines rank TLS enabled sites higher these days. And also, wrapping everything in TLS creates more noise against surveillance and makes surveillance more expensive.

Suck it, penis-owners!

See people, that’s the key to a good sex life, clear, concise communication.

Nah, not everywhere. Our village has no water meters because, why. Spring water from the mountains is not treated, only monitored for microorganisms and contaminants and fed into our water supply by gravity. Doesn’t really matter if it runs through a computer on its way to the sea or not.

In places like big cities or flat plains where the water needs to be pumped and treated that’s a different thing.

Server hardware with their 15000rpm fans will do that. We have a customer specializing in GPU intensive number crunching. They have little storage cupboards accessible from the hallway for every two person office. Their workstations sit there and the cables go through the wall to the desks.
