  • The setup seems quite beefy relative to anything I ever owned. I understand that my power bill will be more costly if I leave this running 24/7.

    Compared to 4 RPi’s running 24/7, how much more energy do you suppose I’ll be expending?

    I ask because my basic understanding of electrical engineering states that my system will only draw as much power as it needs (not the full rated 650W), so I’m not really sure how that compares to all 4 RPi’s running.














  • I have a crappy old laptop and I wanted to extend its life and usability by installing a resource light OS on it. I decided on Void Linux and proceeded to try it out in a VM on my MacBook before I installed it on the potato laptop.

    I know I could emulate it using UTM but I figured that attempting a chroot installation would be a nice learning experience. I also haven’t seen much guides on it online — especially for aarch64 machines — and figured I could contribute and fill some of the void (pun not intended but very welcome).
