Hello, How much does a small matrix server that I and my friends can use cost on average? I will also set up Whatsapp, Signal and Discord bridge on the server.

      yeah, solar panels and batteries cost nothing and you don’t need to install or maintain them, and everyone owns a house. I forgot 🙃

        If my bills are $1000 with my current house. If I add a matrix server at home it will add “+ $0” to my current bill which will be $1000 at the end. For me, that’s a cost 0. 🙃

        If you want to go deeper, we could say you need to pay your food to be alive and maintain the service.

            And you just included yourself, being so mean.

            I just want to notice that the energy price depends on each person. The root of these replies (the Arthur Besse reply) isn’t wrong, he just forgot to include the prices of electricity, which is important to include because it could be cheaper to get a VPS if your energy price is high, but that doesn’t mean “he’s wrong”, he just forgot to include energy prices which is more complex than assuming everyone pays “0,15€/kWh”.

                I mean, I don’t mind being “jerk” to another “jerk”, but I wanted to be “mean” to another “mean” response like the @Helix@feddit.de did, starting his reply with “That’s wrong”, but it’s not wrong, it’s just missing info.

                On my reply to you, as you have been mean to us too (at least for me) I just included yourself too, as being “mean” for you means being a “jerk” (again, at least for me). So, as you think I’m a jerk, I tried to explain to you what I wanted to say without being mean or jerk. Because I know it’s true, I have been mean or jerk, as you want to say.

                  it’s not wrong, it’s just missing info.

                  I’ll change my comment to reflect that.

                    The literal definition of circle jerk is When a group of ppl sit in a circle, stimulating the other sexually.

                    I’m not sure this is quite like what happened here, so I’d go with the other, more popular definition from urban dictionary you hinted at:

                    The act of constantly sharing the same opinion in a forum full of people who are obviously known to have the same opinion as yours
