Lemmy, being part of the ActivityPub fediverse should have that capability, if not now, then real soon. Remember that Lemmy is still quite young and growing. I foresee great things for it in the future.
There would be some initial shock but we would quickly get over it. Personally, I would be delighted if Google were to do a complete epic fail and close down.
I think the best one had to be that remake of a Kurosawa horror film called The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar. That was the only horror movie to ever actually give me a true scare.
At least with spinners you often get enough advanced warning of impending doom via SMART. Critical stuff I am still keeping on spinning disks backed up to tape and a privacy-respecting cloud service.
The cheaper SSDs can be very failure-prone though. I actually use second-hand spinning disks in my server and I have a whole bunch of spares waiting in the wings. I am still backed up though.
I am in the sort of power hungry box category. The cost of NUCs have gone up in my area. I've found that the big box stuffed with second hand hardware to offer more value for my use case.
The worst gift I've ever received once was a some kind of gift certificate to weight watchers. I was pissed off because I actually had been losing weight on my own just fine.
I think that I would like to see AskLemmy have a PeerTube instance geared toward this. The more we look to federated solutions and not look to corporate ones, the more positive outcomes we will see.
It does not mean anything for me because I am not a Windows user. For Windows users it means subscription models and renting software. It could also mean eventually booting your computer into a desktop that is in the cloud. I hope to god that does not happen because it may make finding hardware that will run Linux and BSD that much harder.
NVIDIA GPU was going to be my guess as well.
