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.

There it goes, at least for me. Never forget - The Narwhal Bacons at Midnight in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Man, that phrase was cringe when I joined in 2012. Was a much better site back then though.

They can restore the bot accounts, sure, but they can't restore the servers that run those bot accounts.
