It's harder to freeze salt water then fresh water, do it's not economical.
The most energy efficient method of desalination i believe uses a membrane and pressure to get the fresh water to one side.
But these aren't even the biggest issue. The real question is what do you do with the left over brine? Desalination is not 100% perfect. You're left with fresh water and a salty sludge called brine. It's extremely difficult to dispose of without causing environmental impact

This pod cast is about someone who went through something similar, and ended up prosecuting.
See how negatively it affected their lives and decide if involving the police is best for you. I hope you agree that it is.
You may be preventing future crimes by stopping the behaviour early, even though it can be socially awkward to navigate this with a friend.
As good as eating.
Most are like junk food Few are like fine dining And a few are like eating food you hate at a friend's house but you're trying to be polite.
Overall I'd recommend experiencing it, but if you don't or can't no biggy.
Those are rubber grommets. They'll protect cables from wearing on metal that pass through the case.
Likely for things with hard wired controllers, like fan controllers or led lighting. You can hang the controller outside of the case in the back where nobody will see it.
A little update on the racking the basement lab.
New patch panel and cables made my life much easier. All the packets are flowing! Working out some KVM issues while I get rancher harvester deployed.
Rack is wired (patch cables ordered). Unfortunately the second hand patch panel is a bad idea, less than half the ports are functional...
I ordered a rj45 cat6 through panel and a bunch of premade cables. Should be here at the end of the month!
Finally got around to racking up my lab! (Still needs wiring up, but that's tomorrows problem)
Top to bottom:
Going to run rancher harvester + rancher vm + k8s cluster. Usual media stack, nextcloud, pihole, etc etc.
Mostly just want a cluster to play with and harvester seems fun!
I've had new hardware in the basement now for a while, going to slap it together and build a k8s cluster on top of rancher/harvester
The majority of the Internet's routing and switching architecture is BSD based. Historically it had the most stable and performant network stack of all the OSs.
I used it extensively at one job in a previous life when I was a network appliance developer. It was rock solid and lightning fast. Tried it as a desktop at home and had a terrible experience.
The little differences in the Unix commands used to drive me nuts as well...
