That won’t make much of a dent in climate change.

It makes a massive difference. Think about how much food and other products a single person consumes in their lifetime. All of that is gone if they’re never born.

The main cause of climate change is pollution on a massive scale by corporations.

They don’t pollute just for the fun of it, they pollute to make products to sell to consumers. No consumers = no pollution.

Uhhh I’ll take one if you’re giving them 😃

You shouldn’t be okay with that.

It doesn’t matter what software you use, Apple doesn’t allow automatic backups on their phones. Consider buying a different phone that allows you to use it as you see fit.

It’s Korea.

Honestly culling the herd is probably our best bet at battling climate change at this point.

Which GPU? How many drives?

Put a kill-o-watt meter on it and see what it says for consumption.

0.1kWh per hour? Day? Month?

What’s in your system?

I see.

But you can do all of that with an app on your local device.

I can’t believe that a project hasn’t previously heavily focused on becoming a fully feature complete Self-hosted Podcast platform

…y tho? What’s the point?

The problem is using Proxmox…

The installation is not the problem…

one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!)

Welcome to Windows. Basically the entire operating system is malware at this point.

Mine says 99% Steam Deck and 1% Linux, which is weird considering they’re the same thing.

But probably 50% was on my desktop, which also shows up as Steam Deck under Bazzite.

Any advice/links for a beginner

you can start installing Proxmox

🤔

I would not look at his guide. If you’ve watched any of Louis’ videos, you already know this guy is a ranting machine. He can go on and on for hours about things. I watched about 15 minutes of his rambling and realized he had gotten basically nowhere. It’s also one of the more complex ways of doing things. Use ZimaOS to get started with the easy button.

Stick with whatever router you have, for starters. You can upgrade later. You don’t necessarily need that at all.

For the actual server I highly recommend this guy. N100 is very common due to being very inexpensive and efficient. You’ll have to add RAM and an SSDs but you probably want to choose exactly how large that is anyway. It has 4xNVMe and 2xSATA, if you decide you want to expand later.
