I hear you, but Proxmox does a great many more things than just run containers. Admittedly, many selfhosters won’t need these.

It’s a NUC so sufficiently poweful. Proxmox isn’t fat by any means. If you run your stuff in containers then Proxmox (I aways install it on top of Debian) is your hypervisor is your base system. You typically don’t install stuff on your hypervisor, though I do some very select things.

You’re probably drawing about 400-450 W.

My current supplier rate is about 0.6 EUR/kWh. I make some 1/2 to 2/3 of my power myself, for a price that’s less than half of that.

How many W are you pulling, on the average? Or kWh per year.

https://gitlab.com/flauncher/flauncher probably. Not sure yet, but has to be FLOSS.

Which is why I just bought an nVidia Shield Pro. Custom launcher coming tomorrow. Time to start torrenting again.

Not unshielded, short-wave UV lamps used for sterilization. Stupid people sourcing the wrong lamps and stupid operators smelling ozone and not knowing what it means.

My primary consideration is all the expensive storage filled up by vapid image macros. 80 GB goes a long way for just text.

Pictrs should have been an optional microservice by default. Commenting here to keep track of this thread since this is useful.

Silent SMS are working as designed. There is a reason they are called silent.

You can’t keep on track what is long over. At most you can return to Moore scaling, for a short while, but this is not telling you how exactly.

Don’t forget lubricants, polymers and chemical feedstock in general.

There is biochar which can be scaled by providing cheap pyrolysis retorts and training how to bioactivate it. Incentive is increased agriculture productivity long-term. Capture should be done directly from flue gas since not needing enrichment. There are also carbon-negative concretes which have good potential for capture.

Synfuels from 100% renewable are at least carbon neutral, which is as good as it gets.

Sorry, I haven’t started memorizing Fediverse handles yet. Tim Morgan measures ECoE in percent, and real GDP is GDP minus debt, or x units of debt produce a fraction of that in GDP. Plus ECoE accounting. His model is proprietary, so nobody exactly knows how it’s computed but he himself.

That IRENA model seems to link some large spreadsheets and notes on that page. No idea how complete that is.

As to investments necessary, some two decades ago I estimated we’d need some 3 TUSD/year, inflation-adjusted, for the next 40 years to transition. As a rough estimate that’s as good as any other guess, not facturing in extraction of progressively depleting resources.

The issue is more that we’re currently running out of extractable fossils (net energy peak for oil liquids is projected to peak as early as 2025 and the decline into nonextractability is rapid) so it’s a question of having liquid fuels and synthetic stock, at all.

What kind of life style we can expect where hydrocarbons and energy in general is expensive is an interesting question. See e.g. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/ for analysis of that.

About one order of magnitude more expensive than the fossil kind.

I’m only missing a hole in the wall to do the same – and I could be running a 2x 40G link!

But the switch idles at 80 W and a starting jet noise level, so the hole in the wall will wait.

This is why we are using Lemmy.
