hug of death? I fear the temperature will get very high in his laundry room
I'm sure it depends on how much laundry he is doing - his dryer is probably heated entirely by servers. He can then exhaust the remaining server heat through the dryer vent stack.
"The beefy CPU running this setup, a 32-core AMD EPYC 7532, underlines just how fast technology moves. At the time of its release in 2020, the processor alone would have cost more than $3,000. It can now be had on eBay for less than $200" why do I never get deals like that when I am shopping for the homelab on eBay?
I see this for pretty much all hardware out on eBay, just go back 5 years and watch the price fall 10x.
The bad thing about this is...read above.

The IP thing is interesting, I was trying to make this CSGO bot one time to scrape steam's prices and there are proxy services out there you rent, tried at least one and it was blocked by steam. So I wonder if people buy real IPs.
Yeah people buy residential IPs on the black market. They are essentially infected home PCs and botnets.
Again, those orgs are likely too comfortable and less productive than people would like, but we're talking about many-many thousands and depending upon how you define "the work" of search upwards of 10k.
I didn't see any new secret sauce in the article and Google is has said that since 2015 (?) Google Brain has been involved in search.
This is not to say that Google couldn't be dislodged by search via LLM or similar, that is "new" research.

Well, I created my own domain index. I have not crawled every page inside domains, but it is not my goal. I have 1542766 domains. Might not be much, but it is an honest work. It is available as a github repo, so anybody that wants to start crawling has some initial data to kick off. Links https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database

Not for a CPU but earlier this year I bought a Thinkpad workstation off eBay for $500. It's a machine from 2020 and when it was new cost $5,700. I see this for pretty much all hardware out on eBay, just go back 5 years and watch the price fall 10x.
I feel like there was a five year span where everyone I talked to said buying or selling electronics on eBay was a nightmare, so I'm a little curious if I need to re-evaluate my priors.

More to the point, it's a shame that we can't collectively grok (dammit, they took that from us too) concepts like "personal" and/or "curated" directories, e.g. individual and group wikis and so forth on perhaps more directed topics with lists of good links.
what you mean we can't? there are a lot of curated content directories out there.
Or, perhaps, a "a better Google should just take you to these."
Something like that.
