Just wondering as computers are sorta my hobby and i like messing around with different ones. I havent in a while due to prices going up such as with ram usually. I dont mess with new tech, but i want to know what you guys do with the crazy prices out there? or are you already set before prices went up? Or are you just lucky in some form?

Just curious.

I buy new equipment when I can and make do with old equipment when I must. All the equipment I'm running at the moment was purchased or salvaged before 2021, much of it well before. When hardware fails, I scale back as needed. But I can run a fair amount of webservice from an old chromebook when the max concurrent users is in the mid-to-high single digits. I am definitely skimping on redundancy these days.
