    As far as I know, there’s still a strong but small community on Usenet for discussions still

    As far as server/desktop stuffs, many have had decent success running them on things like old laptops and raspberry pis to decent success. Won’t be as powerful, but if it’s just you and a spouse and maybe kids or something it should be just fine

        You sure you don’t mean rack servers? The blade chassis is pretty expensive and power hungry.

        If it’s an Rx30 or newer that’s fine. Rx20 or older is meh. M anything is the modular blades, and that needs the big chassis to be useful.
