You are right, but: Medium, Substack, Patreon, Kofi. Being a writer/blogger was a death sentence 10 years ago but the avenues for doing it are growing again.

Lmao screw these stupid streaming services oml

It is a buttonless. So I plug in the cord, and the PSU will light up green for ~3 seconds and then turn off. It does not light up again. Does this mean it passed or failed the test?

System as it was originally, and with the Optical Drive removed along with the big metal bay that it sits in. No SATA data or poeer is plugged in. I reseated the battery and the power button cable.

Edit: installed the cage again as it has structural purpose.

PSU light turns green for a few seconds, goes blank. Power button at the front has no reponse at all when I press it.

The power button does not flash. The PSU flashes. Thats why I think there is a problem is with the power button itself.

Joplin?

Could you buy a used corporate SFF off of ebay instead of building a new rig? Maybe an optiplex, Dell 12-core, Thinkcenter, or some sort of multi-core mini micro? You could even buy 4-cores but cluster 3 of them together to make 12. That’s Docker’s best use case, mobilizing your VMs across a cluster of machines. I’m not sure what you need but this is a lot of power and cost. You could start really really small with an Unraid and Plex server to dip your toes in, and then you’d have an idea about hardware and expanding your power incrimentally.
