Re: My server is a phone now
#112Those saying it's said backwards clearly aren't self-hosters! iPhone hardware wise is like an amazing alternative to rpi (way better hardware) But the software makes no sense at all for a server, with screen locking due to inactivity and whatnot, not to mention energy and network priority is designed around a consumer use case on the move. If you run Linux on it and take advantage from the Apple hardware like the lig…
Apple’s no software is server centric.

Modern dell desktops (like 8th gen+) idle around 10W. Raspberry pi isn’t saving much
I’m impressed with that. I had a Nuc 9 extreme with a 10gb SFP card in it. It averaged 69w. The Mac Mini I replaced it with uses just under 5w. A Mini is possible the worst bang for buck. Also, the horror that that is Desktop Docker can’t be over emphasised. I know there are better ways of using Docker on a Mac, but having got something working I can’t face rebuilding it.
But when starting from scratch, it might be better to get an older Mini that is supported by Asahi and run Linux on it.

#115Side comment about the difference between “My server is a phone now” and “My phone is a server now.” In linguistics, the terms “theme” and “rheme” refer to the status of information in a sentence [1]. The theme of a sentence is something that is known or can be assumed from the context (that is, old information), while the rheme is information that is newly introduced in the sentence, often as a comment on the theme.…
This is why I love Hacker News, so many neat info you don't get anywhere else!
Thanks for your comment :)

My home router is a Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny with a Core i3-8100T with a dual 10Gbit SFP in it (1x DAC, 1x 10GBase-T) and it idles at 14W, routing 10gbit full bore 24W. I got it for $80
I also have some Fujitsu office machine I picked up for $50 as my "I need to run some random task on a physical linux box" machine with an i5-7500 and it idles at 15W

#117I wouldn't view swapping Hetzner for Cloudflare as a gain in freedom.

#119I thought about this a few times but the flash storage is a bit sketchy for running a database, I am worried it can die. Tho android does have sqlite built in and works fine.
If your phone supports being USB host you can try USB splitter dongle and attach external SSD drive to it.
Also if your phone has SD card slot you can try "industrial" SD cards. They are small in capacity but ideal for write load.

Thanks to you, "My server is a phone now" becomes much more interesting now as the server is now a perpetual non-physical entity that inhabits a new physical form, the phone.
