   I should get another comptuer that doesn't use x86 :neofox_think:
   
   Any suggestions?

     Get a decommissioned Power7 or 8 server

     @dushman @fuzzylinuxuser Yes, if you have the power budget to run it, decomissioned POWER and PowerPC hardware is fun to tinker around with. Same with sparc64.

     @dushman @fuzzylinuxuser If you're ok with repurposing embedded hardware and don't have super demanding requirements, 32 bit ARM, MIPS, SuperH (rare), and PowerPC are all options.

     @allison@hidamari.apartments @fuzzylinuxuser@den.raccoon.quest
     Yeah, it's probably gonna eat a bunch of electricity lol. Alternatively you could get a low power ARM server.

     @dushman @fuzzylinuxuser I'd be curious where tbh, thought most of the ARM64 rackmount stuff is still too new to be decomissioned

     @fuzzylinuxuser @allison@hidamari.apartments
     Yeah you can find plenty of old ARM servers as well

     @dushman @allison@hidamari.apartments Power is nice, but I'm for energy efficiency so ARM is the way to go in my case

     @allison@hidamari.apartments @dushman@den.raccoon.quest I mean, I'm literally using 32bit ARM RasPi and it does the job well

     @dushman @fuzzylinuxuser I unironically considered buying a honeycomb as my desktop at one point a few years back

     You could also get something like this. Quite expensive but the performance would be very good for its power consumption.

     @dushman @allison@hidamari.apartments :neofox_think: that's an interesting idea. I wonder what 4x new RasPis can do...

     @fuzzylinuxuser @allison@hidamari.apartments
     You could also cluster a bunch of ARM SBCs
