There's a free, 30 day program for learning Linux that may help, The Linux Upskill Challenge.

I like that it walks you through doing stuff, step by step, starting with foundations and building on it.

Depends on how old.

By the late 20-teens, stuff got a lot more power friendly. I have a 2017 Dell desktop that idles at 18w with an 8TB drive inside. Marginally more than my NAS.

Though I'm not disagreeing, you definitely need to check that first. It's why I retired my really old desktop that was my prior server - it idled at 100w+. Ouch.

They addressed a single-user OS at the time. Abstraction like this at the time worked. It wasn't like these machines were expected to be able to do more.

Legacy stuff just kind of sucks.

I'd say we probably have 86DOS to thank for it.

A short summary at the start would be helpful, otherwise this is a wall of text that isn't inviting.

Great info, just too much at once. For example, I've tried most of these, so I don't feel like digging through all this to figure out if you found the same things.

We don't even know at the beginning how many, or which ones you tried, or what high level requirements you worked with.

Just go outside (if you're in a zone that has enough annual sun). At least in the summer months.

That's the best source, as it helps your body produce the specific form it needs (because there are a few).

Supplementation only works when there's a massive deficit, as it's not necessarily the exact form a given person needs.

An automatic centerpunch is a better tool for this by a long shot.

I couldn't see a port like that without magnification, and it's hard to get light with magnification just right.

I can see this being useful for things where I just can't get the magnifyer, light and my head in the right spot. Though it would be better as a borescope connected to my phone (via USB rather than this thing's WiFi). Which you can get for about the same price.

I should fucking hope so.

Ya all got suckered into this stuff because admin is a bunch of complacent people.

I was telling about this in the late 90's,and everyone called me a crank.

Suddenly you realize you got in bed with the wrong person... Ffs

I mean, yea, have you never had deep-fried turkey? You're missing out!

We can thank eastern Europe for schnitzel (which is fantastic, I make it all the time) - deep fried turkey is essentially the same family of cooking, just using total immersion frying, like we do for so many other foods.

But I'd set this thing up outside, on concrete, using a metal table, with a good extinguisher handy. (Which is how deep fried turkey should always be made).

Part of why I root is to block them using Ad-away.
