Thanks a lot! I was thinking the old laptop would be more powerful, but an extra card to pci-e and sata interface is worse from a reliability standpoint. I’ll go check out the selfhosting communities :)

This may be a good place to ask for advice, since I’m new to running a server myself and am now looking to set one up with old hardware I have lying around. I have a raspberry pi 5 lying around and an x230 laptop + an expresscard to pci-e x16 converter (I used it to run games with a GPU), which of these would be more worth it to invest in? I would like to run a file server with some hdd’s in raid 5, and use it to stream media and maybe run a Minecraft server. I would need a pi sata hat or a pci-e sata card.

Ha, I worded it a bit weird, sorry. Spotify organised a lunch for the maga inauguration and donated 150000 to them earlier this year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotify?wprov=sfla1

And they support things like lunch and $100000+ donations to fascist political parties.

There’s a second angle in another thread, I couldn’t find a single inconsistency (same exact rotation of the teapot for example) so I think it’s indeed real.

Does it run on electricity or do you have to throw coal in it somewhere?

One of the founders of Fairphone is working on a European alternative phone OS called Mobifree, which is also open source. Google free Android also already exists.

For European audience, some companies they partially own that is distributed in Europe are RTL (50%) and national geographic (75%), as well as some small channels like 24kitchen. See this Wikipedia page for the full list: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_assets_owned_by_the_Wa…

I always found flightconnections.com useful for getting an overview.
