Actually, the best time was around 4 months ago. I paid around $100 for my 2x16GB 6000 M/T CL30 DDR5 kit. The same kit right know costs over $500.

Not great timing unfortunately…

Do you remember that time Netflix removed [insert series title]? I basically have my own private version of Netflix. That way nobody can take my favorite series away from me without warning.

I built a home server based on an Intel N100 motherboard a while ago. I’ve put proxmox on it and run my Home Assistant installation, Nextcloud, several other stuff and even my router as an OpenWRT VM!

I chose to go the N100 motherboard route mainly due to the flexibility it offers. But you can just buy a N100 based NUC and you get effectively the same performance and incredible low power consumption.

I would recommend against the Pi 5. It is way underpowered in my opinion. Plus with a x86 system you just have a lot more software compatibility.

You are not blocking just Chrome though. You are also blocking Vanadium on GrapheneOS.

To be fair though it works fine with JavaScript disabled. I only enabled JavaScript to test it.
