Your status page is always green · General Discussion

In Denmark we have a consumer protection thing about this. If you sell "99.9% uptime" and your status page is the proof, the page itself becomes a marketing claim.

This is the year 2025
Stop this suffering

Living with a 10-year-old Dell R720 in 2024 · Dedicated Servers

180W idle is already known but you trailed off with the cost calc. Also curious if you've stuck with the original fans or gone Noctua. My R720 sounds like a jet at POST and I can't decide if it's worth the swap.
