By servers I assume we mean the pile of Mac Minis.

If true, that's like the one thing about them I wouldn't judge :shrug:. I've run more on less hardware than that. lol

Oh yeah no shade at all, it’s cheap and efficient

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

What about expensive and inefficient, like an IBM PC-Convertible?

Correct if I'm wrong, but macs don't even have 10gbit ethernet, which at this point is ancient tech for servers and memory costs like gold bars, not even talking about the fact that most services are designed for linux. Mac seems like a bad and expensive choice for servers. Raspberry sounds like a better choice for self-hosting if we're talking about that

I'm guessing they were the old upgradeable ones or that they didn't have significant need for memory or internal storage. Those are the only use cases where Macs make financial sense any more. On newer Macs you can attach external storage that's as fast as the internal storage so you don't have to pay the 10x uplift on storage prices at least. I'm still running the last version with upgradeable RAM and have all the storage external.
