I want to set up a home server and take advantage of everything it can offer, specialty privacy.
Raspberry PI, no matter the version, are all quite expensive here in Brazil, so that’s off the table. I’ll go for a regular desktop. But the the requirements for a server that “does it all” remains a mystery to me.
What specs do you guys recommend?
I don’t think those really idle at much less power, so I’d take the performance of the normal variants
Hmmm I’ll have to take your word for it. I’ve had one in my garage running for 2 years straight and I didn’t notice a power bill change.
They cost about $2/month at the average power rate in the US, so it’s too small to notice I imagine.
