What does a kitchen server do?
Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse

I used to have a static IP at home so I cold run my own physical server. I stuck it under the fridge because there were wall plugs and I didn’t want it in my living room. Hence the name.
It used to serve NFS shares locally, websites and CalDAV/CardDAV globally. A dual-core-but-32-bit stone old intel processor, 2GB of RAM, and never a performance problem.

What’s funny is that ding this makes it kinda obvious how incremental a lot if improvements really were. Like on paper DDR5 is MUCH better than DDR3, but somehow my old gaming machine is only a little slower than a new system playing shit that I actually run.

Software has also gone to shit performance wise, few things really get optimized anymore and there’s frameworks and containers behind everything.

For sure. Buying higher performance machines didn’t get us better performing games, it just got us lazy developers.
