And your comment encouraged me to immediately read the entire thing haha
Yeah Linus tech tios has made numerous videos about heating rooms or pools with stuff in his server racks. I think with a lot of heat produced like that the added compelxity is worthwhile especially if the person is somewhat knowledgeable, heck, I see more people going the server rack way more now that self hosting and other open source things are becoming a little more common, at least as far as online people goes.
I have a similar question that I wonder if anyone can help with. So I’m not overly familiar with self hosting but I’d like to get into it more with simple things, I have a raspberry pi connected to a 3d printer for networked controls and I feel like I should be able to make the raspberry pi not be used just for that only. So like I’m thinking maybe I can run simple things along with it. Basically since the printer is noisy I don’t want all that to be on all the time but I’d like the raspberry pi to do oter things too. Maybe I should make a separate post for this haha, anyways thanks for listening. Oh forgot to add my question lol So basically I’m wondering if there’s a way that power on lan or something may be useful here
Thats a very good point and makes me think about how funny it is that we are collecting energy through various forms of convoluted systems…I wonder if we can find some way to harness energy more directly. Thats probably more like renewable energy and nuclear though if I had to guess, which is also sorta convoluted because you putting effort into storage instead of ways of converting the energy into something useful.
i think you may be mixing federated and small-web feel there. there exists the ability for individuals to have functioning email servers although it is difficult but fair considering how much of the world is reliant upon it and opposing it with various kinds of attacks. i dont thimk it requires many individuals to have their own servers for it to be considered federated, the fact that we have dozens of relatively big email providers to choose from who prioritize various different things is enough to cover the majority of peoples needs and i think that is the threshold requirement for a sufficient self sustaining federated network. regardless of that, if you compare this outcome of email as of present to lets just say a platform like discord whose goal is to facilitate messaging between people, you can evidently say thst emails outcome is better than the proprietary service that discord is locking people into and not making alternatives ways of accessing the service a simpler process.
