CPU shortage is 'getting more serious day by day, no less than the memory chip situation' says unnamed gaming PC company - Lemmy NZ

This is why i’m building a server with a DDR3/Phenom II motherboard.
I have 96GB of ECC DDR3 laying around with nothing to put it in. I should find some low-power hardware that will take it.
“96GB of DDR3” will never really be “low power”, take it from a guy who built a homelab with a DDR3 machines a while ago…but you should still pick up whatever hardware you can as soon as you can. Like, seriously, they’re taking personal computing away from us.

B-bu-buh-buht muh cloud computing, and S3 buckets, and no need for physical, and non-ownership!

This is exactly why I started moving my shit off Proton Drive and into my external hard drive. Yes, the Proton Suite is private and secure, but I want to own my shit.

Also why I’m moving my shit off Bitwarden and onto KeepPass.

Backups are key, Lemmyngs!

Backups are difficult (read: expensive) to get to a satisfactory level in a self-hosted environment without including cloud storage unfortunately. But at least in that scenario you can encrypt it before uploading it.
Temu will save us all with 3rd party Chinese parts that are cheaper and only slightly buggier and no docs. I’m ready for the fight.
