None. There is no model that can output anything even remotely usable on that tiny amount of RAM and certainly not using the few CPU cycles your vps has to offer.

None of your arguments are really an answer to anything.

Every app, telegram, simplex, ICQ are single points of failure - by design - whereas services like xmpp/jabber or even the self hosted variants of signal, simplex or matrix don’t have these problems. But they don’t do that. At least nothing that I heard of.

I think the reality is much more that most of the Nazis are inherently not constructive. They don’t create anything, they have no real vision, just hate for whatever group they think is worst right now.

They are literal leeches, they take over what they can get. Telegram, Twitter, now SimpleX. Volk ohne Messenger, if you want. There is exactly one platform that was created by them, truth social, and that’s a grift by Trump and his team, not something growing from within the community.

The US default, that I never left Europe. What an achievement for the USA!

Oh come on, are you really that boneheaded not to understand that you’re not the norm?

I literally had not a single power surge in my entire life. The only power outages I had were for a few minutes maybe three times in the last 15 years.

The larping refers to you. Either you are truly an outlier who actually runs a small DC, or you just like the feeling you can get pretending to do so.

Your attitude is roughly the “only gold plated cables made from solid silver” equivalent in audiophiles. Technically maybe correct, practically a self-important waste of money.

But not for us.

That’s what I meant by larping. The vast vast majority of us here would probably not even notice if their systems went down for an hour. Yes, battery backup has its purpose. In a datacenter.

I mean, what’s on the line here in the worst case? 15min without jellyfin and home assistant? Does that warrant taking risks with old batteries or investing in new ones?

That equation might change if you’re in a place with truly unreliable electricity, but I guess those places have solutions in place already.

That’s typically a feature for servers or business desktops. Maybe your laptop has it, just look into the BIOS.

As I wrote in my other comment: try to be realistic about your needs. Chances are, pressing the power button every few months (if at all) is perfectly fine for your use case (and most others here).

And how much need is there for a UPS in this scenario - realistically.

Some of the people here take their admin-LARPing a tad too seriously. Most households have reliable enough electricity, and even if there’s an outage once every quarter, would a dead battery even help?

I advocate for being realistic with one’s own needs. Don’t build a five-nines datacenter for a glorified weather station or VCR.

In case you didn’t already do that: remove the battery. It’s probably dead anyway, you don’t need it and it poses a potential (albeit low) risk.

But they made half a million.

And there are literally hundreds of similar companies raking in billions in investments that magically vanish while the founders live a luxury live and move on.

The real question is: why do VCs shit so much money into obvious frauds? Are they this stupid or do they just hope to pass it on to the greater fool?

Man, I’m so glad this shit is illegal on multiple levels in Europe.

The older generations kept leaking contaminated water (reactor coolant), many harbors simply refused entry because they didn’t know the risks involved, and I’m pretty sure the decommissioning isn’t clear either. The way current laws are set up, it’s quite possible that these things go through a few hands and end up on a beach in some underdeveloped country and get dismantled like any other ship under horrible working conditions - but now with the added benefit of nuclear contamination.

But why?

There’s absolutely no benefit compared to just burning it and using plant based materials as a resource.

There is a pretty good way: burn it.

Most plastics can’t be recycled in any meaningful way, so just burn it and use the energy. There are some legitimate uses for plastics, but most of it is wasted.

And always remember: most of the plastic in the ocean is fishing gear, not household waste.

It’s always “in mice” or on an extremely small scale for ridiculous prices.

Scientists only develop the first stepping stones, most of which lead to nothing, that’s okay. But the university PR > newspaper pipeline leads to everything being a major breakthrough, and that leads to fatigue with the reader.

Most people will never hear of this.
