I have a laptop with 32gb of ddr5 ram. It feels a bit slow on windows for work stuff.
On endeavour os (arch btw), it is blazingly fast

I read the first bold statement on the first page, and knew that they had missed the point.

The right to decide how, when, and for how long to make an online video game services available to players is vital in justifying this cost and fostering continued technical innovation. As rightsholders and economic entities, video games companies must remain free to decide when an online game is no longer commercially viable and to end continued server support for that game

I absolutely agree with this statement.
I don't expect a video game to be online forever.
However, I do expect companies to have an exit strategy for an online game beyond "just switch off servers".

Maybe this means removing party/matchmaking systems and just making it P2P or LAN only.
Maybe this means releasing a self-hostable server.

As it currently stands, a game can rely on a closed source "black box" software that only official server providers can get access to in order to provide game servers. The moment those servers close, the game can be unplayable and worthless.
Which is what needs to be addressed.

Both things can be true.
OP can be doing good.
And potus can be doing shit and running rough-shod over the working class

Pump&Dump?
Musk bought into some shitcoin that crashed before he made profit, so even if he gives half away, the slight boost on price will let him dump the rest for less losses... Maybe?

I would like to think these sites can be used for multiple purposes.
Id prefer no new oil sites, tho. It's a cash grab to try and make the economy look like it isn't failing, at the expense of literally everyone

Didnt water systems used to be nationalised?
If water companies can misbehave to this extent, shouldnt there be more oversight and regulation?
I think its fair to put additional blame on the government, alongside the blame on the water companies.

I agree that critical infrastructure should not be privatised

I agree.
Pis are great for tinkering, GPIO things, or ultra low power.
Plenty of older hardware out there that is as powerful (or more so), more reliable (ie, not an sd card), and more maintainable (ie can swap CPU/ram/disks/fans/psu).
But, power consumption is always a concern. At $0.30/kwh, 10 watts is $27 per year.
So, if a pi draws 5w and an SFF draw 25w, thats $55 per year. Any price benefit of a larger/older PC is negligiable after a year or 2, so reliability probably wont come into it.

Cant walk into a restaurant without stealing all the spoons, tho

They make sure it's the gameplay itself presenting the challenge and not the game getting in the way that presents the challenge.

I think those are the triggers/fuses (fuzes?)

If you look at the larger ones, it looks like they have a "socket" in the top for the smaller brown bits to fit in

As has been mentioned, put the WordPress sites on different internal ports or different internal IPs (easier if they are dockerised on a docker network).
Then have nginx have the external 80/443 port binds, and reverse proxy to the WordPress instances.

This is really handy for nginx config files

It's beautiful!
Once you get something running proxmox you will fully go down the rabbit hole!
You will be thinking about k8s clusters, DNS and domain management, redundancy & availability, services for this, that and everything!
Before you know it you will have a rack of 8 servers doing various things, 2 UPSs, a standby generator and a backup 5G wan connection!

Or, you know, as much of that as you want.
