  1. if you do need new gear you have good reasons for screaming take my money, the price is not a huge barrier, it pays for itself maybe not in one job but eventually. when dc upgrades hit in waves prices are going to drop - supply will exceed pent up demand - that is my prediction, we are in a bubble #short squeeze #amortization #arb #pulls #refurb mkt #scarcity #urgency #fomo garbage

  2. Not so long ago I watched a lecture about #GreenComputing (youtu.be/U0LwObfvCus?si=hC6-dN but it's in Czech) and learned that the carbon footprint of manufacturing and distribution of #hardware is huge and vastly overshadows reduction from better efficiency that new HW can bring, so the greenest choice you can do is to buy #refurb s and focus on HW that will last.

    The lecture focuses on compute servers, but I bet it's true for any area of computing.
