Not going to lie, I kind of want to bury a case in the woods for a few seasons, clean it up just enough to mount hardware/not be crawling in literal bugs.

I see a SATA cable, this machine is too new.
Calm down Dr. Moneybags - look how many RAM chips are on that DIMM... No need to flex your wealth!
They didnβt spend eight years in moneybags medical school to be Mx/Mr/Ms/Mrs, thankyouverymuch
Pfff I go by Maestro tyvm. Doctors are chumps. I'm poor as a shitmouse but at least I'm poor in style
Eight years, and people still question Dr. Moneybags on potato PC trutherism
Everyone knows they only got through Moneybags Medical School because of their parent Dr. Moneybags Senior... It's nepotism all the way! And they got a degree in cosmetic nephrology - what makes them qualified to study potato PCs?
Nepotatoes
Everyone in the dev community keeps talking about how good Rust is, so its great to see it in action.
Edit: Dang, just realized the title already did the pun. I am eternally shamed.
Is this the full rust rewrite everyone is talking about?
It has a gpu, thats overkill!!!
That dGPU seems excessive, also the case would be optional.
It sure is
$ sudo make legal
You shouldn't need to run make as root, except maybe for make install.
Sorry, make legal requires the lawyer subroutine which requires full access to everything to verify you have the money to be able to make such a claim
No rule to make target 'legal'. Stop. This comment wins the Threadiverse for today.
Is it possible to learn this power?
True, also two sticks of ram and a CPU fan?

Rust support is solid at least.
Incorrect. Linux can run on conputers from the 1990s. That computer is newer than that. It is not the minimum requirements.
IKR? That GPU has a dedicated power connector!
Yeah, that beast can probably host one medium size corporate with Linux
the funny thing about seeing this meme is that my home media server is running on a quad-core i5 that's barely 3GHz, which is in a Dell workstation that I stole out of the storage room at my last corporate job.
the poor thing can't even run Minecraft, but I got it running a full Servarr stack. am I abusing my tech?
Pic related - The server farm compiling the entire slackbuilds repository for Slackware:
it's a quad core?? damn, the decadence is unimaginable
Four things at once!? π³
Abusing? Nahh, my homelab is powered by an AMD A6-5400K that I rescued a decade ago, you're in good company.
Hey, I was hosting the entire Servarr stack on a Raspberry Pi 2B, and it was working no issues. But I removed it, as I did not really utilised it.

Okay, so I've got a potato with a Pentium sticker on it, and these racing stripes are too make it go faster.
*optional
Still bloated
the computer holes are happy, at least! :D
what, do i dare ask, are the computer holes?
The smiling holes in the picture!
Drive rail attachment points
hah, computers have had the same drive rail layout for so long that i didn't even notice! .^_^.
But if you clean out the dirt, the File Manager might stop starting.
A bit of salty water will do the trick π
Must be nice having enough money to afford a factory-made case.
Guess PC cases were steel back then
Uh.. PC cases are still mostly steel. Maybe not carbon steel, but also not high marine grade stainless.
Lian Li is the only manufacturer I know of to make aluminum cases and they're freaking expensive.
