65% of your spendings, addmittedly this question is mostly relevant to people that spend at least a somewhat above the median, where they can reduce their lifestyle by 35% and still live, just frugally.
I'm not sure what you mean by significant hobbies, but personally with the exception of one, all of my hobbies are cheap/free.
Tip, if you have the room for it, looking for second hand servers (as in actual servers with server hardware) is often really useful.
As you start hosting more stuff you realize that ram and cpu cores are very limited in consumer hardware. With a shitty second hand server you could have more cores and more ram than anything in the consumer category, and you can stick an old GPU on it if you want some better media performance.
But if you truly believe that you won't spread out and that potentially 64gb ram and 8 cores will suffice, just go ahead and build it however you want. It is no different from a regular build. Get a nice ssd, get a wired ethernet connection and you are like 90% of the way there.
Edit: everyone else is giving much better advice, ignore my overkill here. For media and simple game servers with a low energy consumption target you are probably better off with a mini pc with an integrated gpu or if you want to future proof a bit, maybe one of those unified memory ones where you ram is also the vram and can produce pretty good performance.
Same as the odds that a higher being (a god) exists.
Can't prove it, can't disprove it. All arguments for it speculative and subjective.
People claim that it is the most likely option because eventually tech will be so advanced that we could make a world simulation, and then we would make multiples, and therefore the probability of this not being a simulation is low.
This claim assumes that computers CAN get that complex (no indication that they could) it also assumes that if they could, we would create world simulators (Why? Parts of it sure, but all of it?) And it assumes that sentient beings inside the simulation could never know it (Why?)
Yeah, I agree, I guess I just didn't specify that the scale is from running a simple command all the way to needing a dedicated team with hundreds of hours and millions of dollars.
A locked bootloader from a company that did it well and will actively protect against unlocking it can be near impossible for a single person with reasonable budgets to bypass.
It's not that uncommon because they have specific lengths, so usually just by the length you can know the checksum. Of course it's not perfect, but for file verification it's usually MD5, SHA1, or SHA256, so the length is enough to differentiate between them.
Good point, but also my question is pointless if you are already living frugally, because that would basically be "would you like more time and money?"
