Is there maybe someone in the #Fediverse who needs a reasonable beefy (gameing/gamedev) laptop?

- MSI Katana GF66 12UGSZOK
- 64GB RAM (4800MTs)
- RTX 3070 Ti 8GB
- 1TB SSD
- ~1-2 years old

I'm looking to get under 1 months server costs (~1400 EUR) that offers a little breathing room but I'm not sure that reasonable since other offers make me cry

Offers/questions and/or reality check are welcome  

*has to be shipped from the NL

@Jain It's a uh, little challenge but it's okay ❤️

Our recent move did a number, plus the crappy AI hype making it even more expensive 😩 we'll get there!

@stux @Jain oh jeez stux, I thought for sure you were covered, when I checked the donation pages.

How short are we currently? I can at least send a little.

@stux Hey Stux, mind if we at Tether borrow the cool 🔄 emoji for our Instance too? It's pretty rad.

@Shadedlady I don't think raspberry can handle mastodon.social loads 🫣

Wouldn't it be a better business idea to sell "anti-Trump phones"? 🤔
Show threadTrebach2d ago
@ingonymous @stux I think Motorola and GrapheneOS are effectively already on that
Show threadMatt Chambers2d ago
@stux seems like the RAM would be worth that by itself at today’s prices!

@stux Oof..., didn't know it hit you hard like that 😪

Did you already check with the guys at https://procolix.eu / https://www.hackerhosting.eu if they can help you out with hosting or financial sponsorship?
