  • From my shopping, there is just about none. Arguably sausages but then there are cheaper alternatives I go for instead usually. Pork shoulder is cheaper per kg than all but the lowest meat content sausages.

    Typically been spending £10-15 each per week on shopping at Aldi. But it also depends on how far you go. You could say everything is paying extra if you are spending more than £2 as that could get enough rice for the week. Got several herbs growing in the garden too so it wouldn’t even be completely plain.

    I looked up a while back, the nearest NFAS club is miles away and not sure if they would allow atlatls or not.

    You can get rubber blunt arrowheads though, pretty sure that could be used in public just fine as its not like its a weapon. Go for a quiet spot so that no one is really aware of it in the first place and they can’t complain.









  • 60w is like £120 a year, these costs add up to the point that low spec servers pretty much always cost more in energy than hardware. Of course it also depends on where you live and your energy rates.

    You could buy a 20 year old server that is going to use 800w, or you could buy a mini PC that is probably more powerful and uses like 10-20w.

    Then again, I used to live somewhere that energy was included in the rent so short of starting a bitcoin farm usage wouldn’t really get noticed too much. In that case it would make sense to just go cheap hardware.




  • Power consumption is a massive reason to really not do that. Its cheap for a reason, its takes a shitload of power to be shit and you will pay more in energy than you save in hardware unless its only powered on for short periods of time - a server typically isn’t.

    This is actually something that applies to cheap products too. Was in Asda a little while ago and saw 2 LED bulbs with the same lumen rating. Cheaper one used 3w more and you only saved £1. Running it for 8 hours a day for a year would cost double that saving in electricity. For a server you are looking at almost £2 per watt each year. Does that ewaste look so good to you now?

    Some things are absolutely worth getting second hand, but you really should be careful considering the power cost as well.

    Quick edit: If you don’t need it running 24/7, consider something like AWS too. I love selfhosting but if its not running much it might be cheaper to not bother buying hardware.
