Well, you see, Jane, when Netflix was $6 a month, nearly everyone stopped buying DVDs, and most slowed way down on piracy. Then, as Netflix grew greedier and decided to start its own production studio, it doubled the prices of its plans, limited its family plan to exclude college kids, and added ads to its cheapest plans. Then all the streaming companies started fighting for titles, and you can no longer figure out who streams your favorite shows. But most of the local places to buy DVDs are gone. So Piracy picked back up in a big way, and the server stores all the shows we watch on our phones and TVs.

Oh, remember the strange era when Microsoft was selling private home servers?

Yeah, except my quote is real, and it was actually made as a promotional item by Microsoft and HP

I laughed so hard at this. I'm glad a few others here get it. Lemmy is a cool place.

My decade old hardware does what it needs to do. Alternatively, get an Odroid device. Relatively cheap SBCs you can use to host a host of services.

Regular performance really has improved so very little in the past decade, it's just been a focus on GPUs and power efficiency.

I defintely has improved a lot since Amd became competitive with Intel.

I guess the first Ryzen was technically only 9 years ago, and sure there the X3D is kind of a leap but that's still resulted in comparatively marginal gains compared to what happened in the previous 10 years where it was easily a 5x delta. Meanwhile Intel is just cramming more and more E cores into things and pretending they're doing better.

For the average person I really doubt CPU speed from 10 years ago or today makes all that much difference if both systems run from an NVMe.

Wait what, it's real? And from 2007?

Dammit, Amazon has no preview for it. I bet each page of it is meme worthy.

They had me up to Windows Home Server. I don't think I want one of those. It sounds dangerous, I wouldn't let that in my house.

Can't link because of lemmy.world TOS, but if you DDG the title the second result is a direct .pdf link on archive.org.
