In order to take significant market share, AMD will either need to offer superior price/performance and/or superior performance/watt. Both are unlikely because at 28nm, by the time the A1100 hits the market it will effectivel

Hey Solomon, Are you open to, indifferent, or against other hosting providers offering hosted Docker solutions?

Right. What I'm talking about is the differential between the carrying costs of ownership, and the cost of renting, which is what's often referred to as 'forced savings'. Nowhere am I saying you don't have to pay re

Why is the alternative necessarily spending the money? If those funds can be taken to the bank each month to pay off a mortgage, why can those same funds not be taken to the bank to deposit into a retirement/savings/investment acc

Remove one of the disks from the mdadm RAID1, setup a zpool on that disk, setup the OS, copy the relevant data over, and then simply attach the 2nd drive to the zpool and zfs will automatically create a mirrored vdev for you. If the existin

If the carrying costs of ownership are higher than rent (which they are in a lot of markets), it's fair to include that difference as amounts that can be invested. I personally do not think of forced savings as a benefit; if someone ca

First and foremost reason, ZFS. But if you're looking for something easy to manage, FreeNAS (based on FreeBSD + ZFS) may be a better option.

Many homes can end up being teardowns after 30 years. That means that not only is the house itself worth nothing, but there'd be significant expenses to demolish it as well, effectively making the value negative. So it's possible

What are you actually including in that $400/year though? Are you taking full maintenance and upkeep costs into account? A new roof and new coat of paint will already blow your budget. Your pipes will also need replacing after 30 years

It's a future value of an annuity calculation. http://www.ultimatecalculators.com/future_value_annuity_calc... You do have to take into account the time value of money with the mortgage payments still, because $1 today

See my follow-up comment, the difference is actually $1,635,215.78 - $999,083.727 = $636,132.053 Depending on the residual value of the building and the land value in 30 years, that may or may not be worth it. My point was just that the exa

Right, property tax is already included in rent, as is upkeep/maintenance. Therefore, those needed to be added to the ownership costs to make it an apples to apples comparison. Interest is 100% loss also, so what's your point? The

Oh, and one more thing, the $783,370 figure doesn't take the time value of money into account, but your total rent paid figure does. In order to balance this out, we'd need to take a look at the future value of an annuity for your

Except your example conveniently leaves out: 1) Property Taxes Between 0.18% to 1.89% in the US. Let's assume the mean of the two for 1.035%. In the first year, that would be a payment of $5,175. Over 30 years, using the same 3% inflat

That's actually a good deal; it's closer to the cost of what just 1 rack usually goes for in a proper data centre.

There's also bitrig, a fork of OpenBSD on not so friendly terms. OpenBSD lost a number of developers when that happened. They don't appear to currently support 88K, and aim to target current architectures, but I wouldn't be s

I disagree that BSD market share is eroding. It may not be gaining as many desktop users, but it's still popular on the server side, especially on file servers due to support for ZFS, is used as the base for other operating systems lik

Running at all times does not equate to being a server. Nor does being headless. The important point is for it to serve clients. In this case, it could at most tenuously be a server in the sense that it would be listening to have code uploa

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but that would be more a development environment than a traditional server. That it would be used for developing client side applications would reinforce such a distinction.
