Please, please bring the world back to sanity. I was like, literally saving up to expand my homelab when my main server went down and have been utterly slapped by prices.
so like, i have generational hoarder trauma. we're not that bad, but we don't throw away shit we can legitimately use if we have the room to store it without making a mess. so i have three extra PC boxes and two extra laptops on a shelf in the garage that i was waiting for the energy to go through, wipe the hard drive, see if there were any parts i wanted to use and blah blah blah. two days of work that i just really didn't want to do, especially since one of them is emotional. now if anything burns out i have my spare parts cache sitting there and thank the machine god it won't be too much of a downgrade.
I bought a 2x32gb DDR4 kit for my home server just before it all went to shit. Feels good (though now I want to upgrade my gaming pc and I wish I had bought a DDR5 kit too)
