  To be fair, the budget isn’t so much a question of “how much I have”, but rather a question of “how long am I willing to save up”

  The 3K figure I used in my post was based on the relative price of similar systems I’d found online that “mostly” for the bill of what I was looking for.

  Systems that actually had the kind of CPU I was looking for often ran in the range of 7K, which would take me about two to three years to save up for.

  And while yes, I was looking in the wrong catagory, as far as I can tell they don’t sell non-NAS systems. I wasn’t able the find a single example of a server designed for CPU tasks until I posted here and was recommended the Minisforum MS-01. Which is, admittedly, overkill in the extreme, but at least I won’t have to upgrade for a long while, and I only have to save up for 3 or 4 months to afford it!

  Yeah, the Minisforum Ms-01 was suggested a lot, and as far as I can tell, its nearly perfect. After reading thtough the comments on this post, I’m planning on buying one or two on a few months.

  I’m a bit concerned about the risks associated with having storage and compute on the same device, but I can always get a regular nas for storage later.

  Thank you so much! After searching it up online, the Minisforum MS-01 seems to check off every box I’d had when I went looking.

  I’ll look around to see if there is anything more suited, but for now, it seems like what I’ll end up going with.

  Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm at a loss on what server to buy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, I’ll do just that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm at a loss on what server to buy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you! I’ll check it out, it seems to have quite a few good suggestions.

  Mostly, I just don’t know much about hardware in general. I’m sure I could follow a tutorial online on how to put it together, but I don’t know much about what I’d need to buy in the first place.

  I’ll look online and see what I can find though, this does seem like what I’m going to have to do to get the specs I want.

  If this isn’t the right community to post this, please let me know, and I’ll take it down. I don’t want to cause any trouble, I’m just looking for help. I’m really new to this kinda stuff.

  Only the expensive luxury stuff. The kind sold in tourist traps. Most maple syrup sold in stores is flavored corn syrup, which keeps the price down.

  You’re welcome! It’s one of my favorite genres, so I happened to have a pretty big list on hand. I’m glad I could help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of stories like that, though? Thousands, probably. It’s a really popular genre. Granted, it’s usually people being reincarnated into fantasy worlds and such, so that might not be your cup of tea. Still, there’s always exceptions in any genre.

  Some of my favorite fanfic ones are:

  • Sublight Drive (Star Wars)
  • Mass Effect: Jenkins Edition
  • Borne of Caution
  • The Many Lives Of Cadence Lee
  • A Nerubuans Journey
  • Orochitama
  • Star Wars: A Penumbral Path

  And some original works, too:

  • Blue Core
  • Burning Stars, Falling Skies
  • God of Eyes
  • His Magestys Immortal Academy
  • In Loki’s Honor
  • Molting the Mortal Coil
  • Queen in the Mud The Snake Report
  • The Simulacrum

  These are just the ones that I found scrolling through my favorites list. There’s a lot more of these out there if you go looking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Port Forwarding Alternative?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look into cloudflare tunnels or tailscale funnel. Both let the wider public access a private server without port forwarding. If you want it private only, normal tailscale does that too, you might have some trouble if you want to use a custom domain though, since it’s private.

  I got sick of windows being an abusive pain in the ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe? I never really grew out of it, my brain just realized that emotions don’t solve problems and stopped bothering me about it all the time. Though, my fears are more along the lines of forcefully being prevented from dying, rather than the alternative. Still get the chills whenever I imagine having dementia and not being allowed to kill myself.

  I’m not suicidal anymore, but still. There are things I’d rather choose the forever-sleep than experience.
