Dennis E. Powell: ”Were a list compiled of my manifold sins and wickedness, near the top of that very long list would be my affection for gadgets that I imagined I needed and therefore purchased. Usually it turned out I didn't actually need them at all." #tinycomputing #retrocomputing #portablecomputing #laptop #pda #theviewfrommudsockheights https://ofb.biz/sa1336

For those who're interested, perhaps @withaveeay and @david, my Fediverse server is a Linux container running on a quad-core Intel N100 micro-server (see picture).
It's running Proxmox VE, currently with 4 LXC containers (including a GoToSocial server and a mail relay) and a full VM which is just acting as a docker host for a single docker container.
It uses about 9.5W at the wall when idle, blipping to 10.5W, and 15W when maxed out. The processor has a 6W TDP. The fan is usually off, and only comes on after a prolonged period of stress (once the case gets hot, it tends to stay hot), and it's pretty much silent. It could use a bit less power, but for some reason I felt the need to put 32GB of RAM in it, which currently is about 28GB more than I actually need 🤣
