I would look into thin clients and Lenovo etc. tiny PC for office on eBay. I run old low power low noise rackmount Supermicros which are nice but hard to find at low prices.

Yes orders of magnitude, but not too many of them. The real estate of a 300 mm wafer is limited, the structure shrink is saturating and you can’t get too many layers. You still need a packet switched network on the wafer even if the rest is mostly analog. Perhaps spintronics can limit the power requirements too.
Factor in power bills and heat and noise into your calculations.
There are diminishing returns in semiconductor photolitho. Moore scaling is long over, absolute real estate see WSI with Cerebras, DC costs and power envelope are all sending a clear message. Quantization is there, so you can go from digital multipliers to analog and go spiking networks, but transformers and Co have little power there.
Also, the kind of economy that can carry Gen AI as business model is not a given, long term.
Neat. At 750 Wp I wonder what the EROEI of the installation is.
Interesting, wasn’t aware. It remains illegal in Germany then, as long as you seed. Notice in Germany you will receive a nastygram in any case as long as you’ve been identified as a member in a swarm, even if you do not seed. It would be interesting if someone would contest that, though you will likely lose since technical details don’t matter in most courts.
No port mapping, no upload, so technically legal where only sharing is penalized. IANAL.
Since most VPNs no longer have port mapping it’s a pure download which would make it technically legal e.g. in Germany.
Without VPN or Usenet subscription it’s going to be difficult and/or illegal.
Long term storage requires an ongoing migration strategy. The whole ecosystem for reproduction gone away your pristine media will be inaccessible.
What’s a reddit?
Linux and a bunch of ebooks. Maybe Larn and Nethack.
Also opnsense, but on thin client.
You can run your own instance or join a permissive instance.
Anyone can make a Lemmy instance with the equivalent. And some instances will defederate from it.
We’re kinda using it right now. Strange how all the good things that persist are community efforts, huh? Makes you really think.
Why? Did something happen to all the volunteer mods? I wonder what it could have been.
I hear you, but Proxmox does a great many more things than just run containers. Admittedly, many selfhosters won’t need these.
It’s a NUC so sufficiently poweful. Proxmox isn’t fat by any means. If you run your stuff in containers then Proxmox (I aways install it on top of Debian) is your hypervisor is your base system. You typically don’t install stuff on your hypervisor, though I do some very select things.
A free running cellular automaton (CA) approach in hardware would work, but each cell would be a much souped up SRAM cell, the interactions would be all local and 2D. Considering Cerebras is 40 G SRAM on the 300 mm WSI and is about at the cooling limit I’m afraid you do not have 5 orders of magnitude. Perhaps reversible spintronics can help with the power draw, but you still have to splat a higher dimensional network so not just local interactions into a 2D array.
