      And now SSD and hard drive prices. Keep your tech going, it’s going to be a long few years, if ever, before affordability returns. They (cloud and AI tech-holes) want local compute and storage to be unaffordable so we use their crap. F-ck that, I’m gonna scavenge whatever I can to keep self-hosting to the bitter end.
