Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 16 hours agoConceptually I really like the old netbooks.
I’ve gotten into self hosting and like the idea of using a netbook as a thin client.

I’m kinda sad that netbooks mostly died off as a device class. I’d love to explore newer options.
Self-hosting is cool! But having played around with it myself, I just found thin clients to be not so useful in a single-user environment. At most, it could be useful if you want high battery life and the ability to run something heavy from time to time. But being tied to Internet gets annoying very quickly.
Still, as a printing machine + occasionally connecting to the server for something more, it does deliver.
