I have a Gen 8 HP microserver. Works great. Mine has a Celeron with 4Gb, running Xpenology, but you can plop in a Xeon and 16Gb, for containers and stuff if you want. Runs great, 4 Proliant caddies, cold plug, an extra SATA connector for a CD that can be repurposed for an SSD, a power draw of 25-45w. Very small form factor, Proliant quality and build. Fairly silent, and very small.

Super happy with it, and it can probaly be found on ebay cheap.

I'm a Rocket Lab fan. Tons of innovation, slower progress due to not having the richest man behind, but on track to launch a reusable medium rocket, FULLY reusable and with a sensible guy at the helm.

The unit pictured seems like it would be better at corners than my round one.

Endurance and reliability of cycles seem to be an issue with mine

The "Botijo" uses the same principle and has been in use for centuries in Spain to cool water.

The article mentions fragility, but I imagine that some open sided fiberglass cage or equivalent could be made. Fiberglass is fairly low tech nowadays, cheap and widely available even in the developing world.

Didn’t you read? It’s a workhorse. It pulls wagons

The big ass rocket engines in the back fueled by the massive fuel tank may disagree with you

I hate Musk and his personal everything, but Like SpaceX. However, when people gush about reusability, they seem to forget the 135 Space Shuttle missions (2 fatal failures , yes.). All done with 5 vehicles. Yes expensive etc, but truly amazing.

Also, I really don’t find anything SpaceX is doing revolutionary. Impressive? Yes, but it’s essentially incremental engineering, made possible by ginormous funding, including NASA money, and a private company doing things that NASA can-t politically afford.

Imagine NASA crashing 4 Shuttles before getting landing right. There’d be no NASA by now.

If I recall correctly, the manual override for the electric inner door handle is hidden under some panel. Major lawsuit material if you ask me, and irresponsible by the certifying authorities,

It’s quite obvious the Israelis have many US politicians either in their payroll, or have dirt on them. That-s pretty much standard operating procedure for the Israeli intelligence services. They are masters at those things. All you have to see is their depth of infiltration in Muslim countries.

I hate that, but I must admit they are impressive.
