Probably not, because it's a lie.

I noticed my posts don't get submitted when I swear. I also don't post in this case, because sometimes you need to swear to make a point.

My HDDs run 24/7 without spin up btw. I'm just talking about the costs. My drives don't fail that much as yours. The recent drives that failed were WD Blue that were very old and only used for backups. And yes, all backups were still readable, even the drive was reported as failed. Compare it to SSDs that often fail "spectacularly".

There is a lot of power to waste for the savings you made, when not buying expensive SSDs (20€ a year is not much). Where we use HDDs, we don't care about noise. Durability? We use huge RAID systems with lots of redundancy.

I personally like to swap new drives after 5 years to avoid failures. So when you find a 16 TB SSD for 350€, you send me a message.

That's why it's also called Curry-Howard isomorphism.

Programs are mathematical proofs. If maths cannot be patented, software can't be, either.

It is a good way to have a fire hazard at home, if you don't know what you're doing.

I mostly use lightweight virtualization with containers and jails at home. I have one BHyVe VM, but I plan to eliminate virtualization completely. It's a waste of resources for my setup.

I have never needed iMessage in my life and I haven't even seen it. Proprietary messaging apps are not trustworthy.

I know enough about XMPP or earlier called Jabber to not to run it anymore, after years of self-hosting Prosody.

You just need a client like Element.io or other clients. If you don't want to connect to the main server matrix.org which is quite slow, you choose one from the federation.

People who own a server and know how to do administration tasks can install their own instance and attach it to the federation. You can use one of the Matrix server applications for self-hosting.

XMPP needs a connected network socket which is pretty bad in a time of mobile services. The 90s are over.
