Solar energy is too unpredictable and can't serve as a reliable source of power. We should be thinking about servers running on nuclear power.

You got me thinking... Are there any ways for a simple person to make it's own nuclear power reactor? You know, wind and solar is just "buy from internets and plug in", mostly, but what about nuclear? Would it even be legal? :-D
Maybe we could stuff thousands of bananas in a box.
Everyone here's over thinking it. Of course you ca. It's just expensive (free shipping though) https://m.de.aliexpress.com/item/1432182326.html?gatewayAdap...
Probably not. This toy was the closest thing I think a layperson can get their hands on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_U-238_Atomic_Energy_La...
Completely missed the point.
Don't you want a server powered by a portable nuclear reactor? Are you even an IT person?!
Ok fair. It either missed the point or was unbelievable on point.
What's the point? The page isn't loading anymore btw
Yes, and that's probably due to the sun going out.
That solar-powered Arduino server is actually running on nuclear power.
