Last week going rate for 256GB was $1k USD, now it's 128GB for $1k USD.
WHO IS PAYING THESE PRICES? ARE YOU PEOPLE CRAZY???
I'm fortunate enough to know people in my circles that can supply me reasonably, but YIKES.

You know you're in for a hell of a ride when the only way to access a web portal is via Firefox 3.0, to then upgrade to latest firmware, only to discover you have to turn OFF HTTPS to access it via a modern browser.
What the actual FUCK LOL.

A few notes I'd like to share with after running a Hytale server on launch day:
- Update Pterodactyl to latest Wings version, prior version didn't allow Java to HWID your install, thus preventing token persistence.
- MAN this thing uses alot of RAM, 14GB for 5 users. Get an optimizer mod.

I'd just like to say, this all started because I wanted a replacement ring after my current one started to die every 30ish hours. (Advertised lifespan is supposed to be ~7d)
Support is kinda flaky, if you walk away to use the bathroom or something they just drop the ticket and make you start over.

I asked my partner (tradesman) if I could re-run the wiring for 20a, and he said "you're going to read the IEC NFPA 70 guidelines, local electrical code, and write me a proposal before you do that."
I'm in deep, I never knew this much went into just running a single outlet, wire and a breaker. 😵💫

New problem, current usage + new batteries are going to draw too much power on 15a circuit.
Time to upgrade to 20a 🥴
