This is, if not from Real Life Comics, very reminiscent of it.

Pretty sure it’s from Serial Experiments Lain, a show I’ve heard much about but haven’t watched yet so I’m not 100% certain about this.
Looks about right to me.
You could easily switch the panels and show Windows 11 hardware requirements Vs Linux
Purchase? I just kept my old toaster around and ran a file server on it.
serial experiments lain?
My thought as well
I'm not going to say that I don't have a server-collection problem, but that problem did put me on a good career path, so at least I have that going for me.

I'm reporting this post because I'm in it and don't like it
Access to knowledge and ability to maintain ownership gives you freedom, confidence, and a desire to expand.
Curious. I must be a filthy casual with the one desktop PC. There is at least one other PC here, but it's out of action.
It could do with plugging in at some point to see if it still works, but I see no benefit in making that permanent.
This is what I'm drooling over currently:

I've been thinking about getting a real NAS machine instead of having my gaming PC always on. This looks pretty slick.
Yeah I've got the 128 gb Asus one as a processing machine, and honestly, I wish I would have just got it as a server. For my purposes, I need this bad-ass GPU/ CPU much closer to the storage.
Honestly, just a basic 2:1 is fine for me considering I'm rarely if ever running my compute locally.
I'm not sure I need a lot of compute on my NAS. I guess I might as well get as much as I can before it becomes cost prohibitive. Not planning on running any local LLMs on it though, so a GPU is probably overkill.
Yeah I do a ton of machine learning research and like, distance between the database and the place I'm doing the processing really matters. My NAS is on the other side of my house and it would be great to have maybe two NAS, a primary one for like, my movies, personal files, old projects etc, and then this one right next to it for active projects.
Right now I'm having to do it all on my primary machine, which means I often have to freeze updates for long periods of time once I get a particular compute configuration set up for a particular project.
