This is corny, but thanks for being awesome! It feels so nice to see this community grow out of a shared vision of what the internet should be.

Standing up my little instance has been a blast! I'm not quite done with it, but your combined enthusiasm gives me hope for the future of the internet. 😊

Just need to find the right sites. A couple places I've gone that seem to pick up a bunch of corporate PLM gear and refurb it are here:

I know about Servermonkey, and the prices there aren't nice at all. I'm rather sticking with old servers with roughly the same specs, but perhaps twice the wattage and noise, which only run occasionally. The 24/7 stuff is already on a low-power footprint, though I don't have a successor for that little Supermicro when it bites the dust. I'd rather pay way less than 1 kEUR for it.

I more stay with the other one for purchases, but if nothing else I like SM for their filters/build pages. I used to specifically try and build small and low power, but eventually it became simpler and more efficient to put everything on a couple big boxes and share resources rather than having a bunch of low power dedicated boxes. Does tend to make the office warm though with nearly 1Kw running the stack.

1 kW would cost me some 17 EUR/day. Or over 6100 EUR per year.
