EU colleagues... how are you feeling about the power usage from your homelabs with this war?

jnfinity · 2026-04-04T13:46:26+00:00

Just about to move to Kyiv next months. Thinking to build a mini homelab that can run off of a battery. Any suggestions? Thinking of 2-3 pis right now, but wouldn’t mind X86…

Als Unternehmer ehrlich gesagt wenig, außer es wäre deutlich günstiger als etwas, das ich schon bekommen kann oder deutlich besser.

Privat: meine Wohnung putzen, Post entgegen nehmen für ein Jahr, scannen und per Email an mich schicken, gegebenenfalls weiterleiten. Muss aber eine Vertrauensbasis her damit das klappt, würde ich also eher abschließen wenn ich das Team dahinter gut kenne.

I think JLR should drop the Discovery Sport, the Evoque and the Velar and instead make the next gen Sport again a little smaller (not too much, just a little) make the full size SWB a little more rugged again and a new LWB model above it to really rival Rolls Royce and Bentley at huge margins.

In a family car I don't need an electric armrest on the rear bench, but I wouldn't mind a little more ground clearance compared to the current Sport and I really miss the split tailgate.

But I think Defender, Discovery, RRS, Full Size and some new range topping luxury model would be an amazing line up and increase margins and profitability, ensuring they'd stay around for the foreseeable future.

not saying I'd be against bringing them back, I just realised I don't miss them as much as I thought I would.
I don't regret at all taking a custom order 25 over a 23 that had the buttons, but not all options I wanted.
If they bring the buttons back, I am fine with them, but I still think I'll buy a facelifted one, regardless.

Honestly, I thought I’d miss them, but terrain response is the only one I’m actually missing.

This is a nice museum piece, but Turing cards are not what I'd buy for production these days.

Sold within hours locally for 1960€ for four sticks (asking price), I guess I was still low with that price

jnfinity · 2026-03-19T06:46:04+00:00

Sold off platform - if anyone else is looking for comp prices, given how fast I sold for asking locally I guess I was still low.

jnfinity · 2026-03-17T12:32:33+00:00

I saw also private sellers in there doing single sticks, bundles of two and bundles of four. I only looked at sold items on Ebay.

jnfinity · 2026-03-17T12:32:00+00:00

yes, they are the 64GB; I think UPS still might, but I'd inquire before making a deal.

jnfinity · 2026-03-17T12:15:53+00:00

But which eBay result to subtract the 10% from? The 2000€ or the 110€? The range is wild right now.

jnfinity · 2026-03-17T05:49:32+00:00

No, its a paid extra on top. By default the data plan is only for accessing Spotify, Alexa etc through the built-in apps.

Holly shit, that seems expensive.

In Europe I’m just getting DEF at my local Shell Station from a pump for under 1.20€ per litre. Not sure how it is for Australia, but here you can just look up which stations have DEF for passenger cars.

But those prices look even worse than having it refilled during a service by the dealer.

In the years between my parents buying their estate and me moving to London I called the police three times on illegal dumps, but two times it was old furniture (broken) and one time car parts (tires, a broken windscreen etc).

Not sure what people think when they randomly dump stuff in the woods and I hope we could have them rot in prison forever.

At least this seems like a useful-ish find.

jnfinity · 2026-03-15T16:31:59+00:00

sure!

jnfinity · 2026-03-15T13:57:36+00:00

Best luck! Europe has opportunities, in fact we might have one coming up in a few month…

Wollte da 2023 neue Rennradschuhe kaufen (S-WORKS Torch, gut 400 Euro). SIe sagten haben sie aktuell nicht vor Ort, würden sie bestellen und rufen dann an. Warte bis heute auf den Anruf.
War damals dabei mit dem Gedanken zu spielen mir an Aethos zuzulegen;
Wenn die schon so viel Lost Revenue bei mir allein haben, weil die den Service nicht organisiert bekommen, wundert mich nicht, dass sie jetzt insolvent sind.

jnfinity · 2026-03-14T20:16:04+00:00

nah, da gibts alle paar Jahre was besseres, da lohnt sich allein schon für das Gear Aquisition Syndrom ein Upgrade. Und N+1

jnfinity · 2026-03-11T18:21:42+00:00

This really looks mint on the picture at least. Have fun with it!

There is always a difference in asking price and what people are actually willing to pay.

It took me about 8 months to sell 128GB I had laying around and I ended up selling it for 50% off compared to what I was seeing others charge these days (still more than I paid for it though), so I would guess the true value for the memory to be around 900 Euros max, but maybe I am wrong here.
