That’s why you can’t just use the version as a string. You need to use the API which correctly uses string length as a tie breaker.

Oof. I would buy more efficient hardware with those rates too!

Get a power measuring device if you don’t have one and consider the real cost of buying something new if you already have something. For instance, I have an older gaming laptop I am considering repurposing for my home automation stuff. While idling it draws about 10w which is amazing to me and a number I never would have guessed. For me that works out to (24 hours * 10w * 365 days* 1000w/Kw ) 87kwh per year. I pay about 10 cents per kwh so say $10 a year. Buying something to save a little power will never work out.

My current home server is an intel NUC from 2013! It can’t do some of the things I would like to add on, but it is a great media server and downloader. Powerful hardware isn’t really a necessity.

Can I use Proxmox on generic hardware that will run Linux? I was unfamiliar with it but I am intrigued once I went to the website.

Contemplated it, but dealing with infrastructure bores me. So I think I will just put up with the ad and the lowered expectations.

No. I got that too. I’m talking about:

“ Strictly confined Kubernetes makes edge and IoT secure. Learn how MicroK8s just raised the bar for easy, resilient and secure K8s cluster deployment. https://ubuntu.com/engage/secure-kubernetes-at-the-edge”

I just installed Ubuntu server on my little home server which has faithfully run Windows 10 Pro since it came out. I didn’t want to deal with the ads on Windows 11. I ssh into the Ubuntu install and there is an ad in the terminal!

Another same reply. There is a catch-all now but there wasn’t originally.
