  • I successfully ran a modded java minecraft server for me and my friends for years on an ancient thinkstation with a xeon E5430 (quad core 2.6 ghz w/ddr3 ram) doing double duty as a NAS. That old xeon couldn’t carry your i5’s jock on single core performance, which is your main concern. As long as you’re not running huge kitchen sink packs with giant complex bases I think you’ll be fine.









  • I reckon, given the extent of voluntary submission to constant surveilance from corporations and the continued march deeper into oligarchy, that it’s only a matter of time until platforms that aren’t explicitly anti-privacy are going to be reframed as extremist and dangerous as a part of the global political conversation. Perhaps this will end up being the leading edge of that.




  • 19 million people in states where the outcome was a foregone conclusion. In the six states that flipped the difference was less than 80,000 votes.

    //edit: Ok I was being flippant with this reply after my annoyance with another thread about this same thing. I didn’t even really stop to process just how dumb that 19 million number is. Are we supposed to believe that 19 million people didn’t vote for Harris after voting for Biden, but since the Actual difference in outcome was only about 6 million votes that Harris found 13 million other people to show up and take their place? Seems pretty fucking unlikely considering that the overwhelming majority of people who don’t vote aren’t registered and never vote.
