  • It’s fine, but not going to be the cheapest.

    Cheap to buy: Any old PC desktop, really. Most will run linux and windows fine, depending on what you want. Anywhere from free to £100. If you have an old desktop or laptop already, use that to start with.

    Cheap to run: Any mini PC. I run a Lenovo ThinkCentre M53 for low power duties. Cost £40 and runs silently at 10watts, idle. (I have a secondary, much beefier server for other stuff that runs at around 100w which lives in the garage)

    But plenty of people do run mac minis as home servers, often on Linux. They’re fine - just do your homework on the CPU ability, how much ram you can add, and whether you’re okay with external disks if you can’t fit enough inside.


  • Anarchism is all about working together to build a better world where everyone has all of their needs met,

    Hmm, I was working with the classic disctionary definition which is “a state of disorder due to absence or non-recognition of authority or other controlling systems.”

    But you’re right, anarchism does have that other meaning, so perhaps a better word would be “chaos”.

    His actions in supporting Trump in the US, promoting hate and extermist views on X globally, and encouraging civil war in the UK do all fit a chaos agenda. That’s not about money - at least, not that I can see.

    He is one of the world’s most dangerous people, however, and I don’t say that lightly. Not least because of his history of being unpredictable.

    More governments should follow Brazil’s example and push back.
