Thinking of upgrading the borg.social server hardware with something that's still relatively low on power usage, but a lot more powerful than the ARM hardware I use now.

Advertised is the following power consumption:
– IDLE : ≃1..9W
– CPU Stress : ≃15W
– CPU+GPU Stress : ≃18W
– Power-off : ≃0.25W
– Suspend : ≃0.6W

Hardware:
* Board+CPU: Odroid H3, Intel Quad-Core Prozessor Jasper Lake N5105 - €190
* RAM: 16GB DDR4-SODIMM - €42
* Storage: Something NVMe probably? 1TB - €80, depending on whether an external USB SSD works more stable than the current machine I might just use the old one I have.
* Power supply: whatever fits - €25-ish?
* Enclosure: €18
Total costs: €355 (€275 if no need for new storage)

That's... not cheap. But it'd be a lot more future proof and stable, so it might be worth seriously considering this.
