I scored an Optiplex 7050 SFF with 250GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an i5-6500 for under $100 on an ebay auction last year. I threw in another 16 GB of RAM, an i7-7700, 300W PSU from an Optiplex XE3 (factory for a 7050 SFF is 180W…), factory SD card reader + faceplate, and an Nvidia Quadro K1200 (why? I don’t remember, but it’s better than the iGPU).

I had the same IP address for almost four years through Spectrum in Upstate NY, on a residential plan. It changed once. I ended up moving anyway though, so I didn’t get to see how long that one stuck around.

The sarcasm tag has been a thing for a long time, used in various forums before reddit was a thing.

Oof

Do it. Use “Power Delete Suite”, it has an option to edit comments before deleting everything.

OneNote is absolutely free. I use it for a lot of things, at home and work.

Edit: I guess, I should say that it doesn’t cost money. It certainly isn’t “free” as in “freedom”, but it’s incredibly handy.

The usual:

• Plex
• Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Prowlarr
• qBittorrent
• Ombi

I’m also experimenting with some other little things, like Grocy (self hosted home inventory); I want to try to host my own Lemmy instance, and someone here mentioned Viewtube as well.
