  • My server is usually between 30w-40w (that’s about 20-25p per day electricity cost in the UK at 25p/kwH).

    That’s with the aforementioned processor/ram, a Gigabyte A520M motherboard, 1 case fan, the stock cooler, a 120gb 2.5" SSD, 2 4TB 3.5" HDDs and 1 8TB 3.5" HDD (all drives always spinning).

    It’s running OpenMediaVault as OS and 5 docker containers 24/7 (Flatnotes, FreshRSS, Kavita, qBittorrent and RecipeSage). Other than that I use it for media access from a MiniPC running Debian w/ Kodi accessing it via SMB (the server doesn’t transcode).














  • That was certainly one of the articles of all time.

    Linux advocates would likely say that ChromeOS isn’t ‘real’ Linux because it’s specifically made for the mass market.

    It’s not a purity test. Most people just don’t mean ChromeOS when they say Linux.

    Nevertheless, however easy it might be use Gnome, or KDE, or any of the rest, there hasn’t been a mass migration from Windows.

    Why? Because there’s still too much, well… Linux in there.

    No, it’s because most people don’t know what Linux, an OS or an ISO is and wouldn’t know where to start changing their operating system if they even realise it’s a possibility.

    This article is just the author tearing down a succession of strawmen of his own making + some big linux NIMBY vibes.
