Similarly with airtags, you have been able to buy cheaper cellular based GPS trackers for years prior to airtags existing.

In the airtag case, those GPS tags also do not alert the individual that there is a beacon following their person, and as such most likely go unnoticed and under reported.

Looks like the X10SDV-TLN4F[1] has everything you mentioned besides a second m.2 slot. Although its 8 cores they are a few generations old and low power (45w TDP on x86). For true compute its not exactly fast but for something like a high performance file server in 1U connected to a disk shelf, they are really nice.

"Apache Guacamole is a free and open-source, cross-platform, clientless remote desktop gateway maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It allows users to control remote computers or virtual machines via a web browser, and allows administrators to dictate how and whether users can connect using an extensible authentication and authorization system."

Stay away from Factorio if you do not want to double your number

I bought the Quest 1 when it was an Occulus product and stopped using it the moment they started enforcing Meta anything within the device. I could not care less if it is a 1:1 hardware equivalent as long as it has anything to do with the Meta empire. The last I checked, my Quest 1 refuses to function on my home network because of the filtering I enforce on my router...

Before even considering why someone might not choose to do so, I would like to point out that selfhosting email is not even that hard to do nowadays. I spent a couple hours a few years back manually setting up a stack on a dummy domain just to see if its as hard as developer circles make it out to be. It was not. Furthermore a quick search today nets half a dozen docker containers you can spin up that claim to be one stop solutions for email. If even a fraction of them succeed in what they claim you could self host email with one command and an env file. You could even use the dockerfiles as a template to run the software on metal, its all there.

Even with this newfound knowledge, and as someone who tries to selfhost equivalents to any service I find myself using regularly, I would never attempt to host my own main emails. My bank accounts are linked to my emails, my investment accounts, my insurance, my loans, things that I am not willing to risk compromising my ability to access as the result of some sort of overly prideful sentiment.

Just because someone has the ability and knowledge to host their own email does not mean they should or would even consider it.

Anecdotally, it's a very effective setup when combined with a solid KVM. I like keeping my main Debian desktop and the hypervisor separate because it keeps me from borking my whole lab with an accidental rm -rf.

It is possible to pass all of a systems GPU's to VM's, using exclusively the web interface/shell for administration, but it can cause some headaches when there are issues unrelated to the system itself. For example, if I lose access to the hypervisor over the network, getting the system back online can be a bit of a PITA as you can no longer just plug it into a screen to update any static network configuration. My current solution to this is enabling DHCP on Proxmox and managing the IP with static mappings at the router level.

There are a few other caveats to passing all of the GPU's that I could detail further, but as a low impact setup (like running emulators on a TV) its should work fairly well. I have also found that Proxmox plays well with mini PC's. Besides the desktop, I run it on an Intel NUC as well as a Topton mini PC with a bunch of high-speed NICS as a router. I cluster them without enabling the high availability features in order to unify the control plane for the three systems into one interface. It all comes together into a pretty slick system

I have more then enough RAM on my office workstation to just accept this, but on my personal gaming computer that moonlights as a dev machine, I run into issues and have to kill WSL from time to time.

Although its interpretation could make some sense but is also mostly wrong if talking about physical size of a modern GPU's main processor compared to the size of the associated VRAM chips. It has missed the joke entirely as far as I am aware. I think the joke is actual about Nvidia's handling of product segmentation, selling massive processors with less memory than is reasonable to pair them with on their consumer gaming offerings, while loading up the nearly identical chips with more memory for scientific and compute applications...

1Gb symmetric at both locations in NYC though and a free Xbox One S and $300 Visa giftcard.

They have essentially paid me to use them as my ISP, and contact from their support teams attempting to figure it out is getting increasingly infrequent

I actually turned a beige sweater that snuck into the wrong load beige-blue just yesterday with a pair of AG Jeans that have been washed every other week since I got them two years ago
