Data centers sucking down billions of gallons of water per day, burning through terawatt-hours of electricity, and here I am merging my home server and router into a single ARM device to save a couple hundred watts like a chump.
I tell myself this is the tech-fetishist equivalent of survivalist training, except I'll probably need actual survivalist training if shit keeps going the way it's going.
I seem to be deeply offended by wasteful systems. My household had no need for a whole-ass desktop to be running every moment of every day, just to serve files and provide backups, but it was working *fine.* Can't leave well-enough alone, I guess.
