Let's assume I have huge server at home with tons of disks that sucks on average 200W 24/7 - most machines idle around 10-50W depending on the periphials I'm in Germany, the country with the most expensive electricity prices

I hope someone will build a super simplified EV that's affordable and lacks all the digital stuff - no touchscreen, no lcd displays, no included navigation software, no automated assistance systems, physical knobs all the way. Add some

Very happy to hear that! Heard similiar stories but usally it's on a lower level where things can go right more often than not. The bigger the projects the bigger the problems.

What is the appeal from these YouTube frontends? I came to really dislike them because links are broken after a while because these sites don't live very long and the video data itself is still streamed by YouTube? I don't get it.
