For startup costs, ~80€ for a used micro PC a few years back (+100€ for a 1TB SSD for it).

Since then

• 6€/yr domain
• 48€/yr email (proton plus using domain above)
• I’m thinking of setting up Backblaze B2 for offsite backup, should be ~20€/yr for about 250GB stored continuously if I calculated right

I never bothered with electricity costs, since it’s a small micro PC. It probably uses sub 20W average, which, next to an AC, fridge, and WFH costs, has to be negligible, the cost of buying a measuring device in itself is probably not worth it

• 2026-05-07: Submitted detailed information about the vulnerability and the exploit to the linux-distros mailing list. The embargo was set to 5 days, with an agreement that if a third party publishes the exploit on the internet during the embargo period, the Dirty Frag exploit would be published publicly.
• 2026-05-07: Detailed information and the exploit for this vulnerability were published publicly by an unrelated third party, breaking the embargo.

Well, that’s reassuring - hopefully, since the patch for it is also described in the repo, distro maintainers can patch it quickly

Another one? :/
