gollark: My laptop is a £170 (including upgrades) used businessy one with a 7th generation Intel CPU, and my server's a £100 10-year-old HP tower.
gollark: The monitoring page (https://status.osmarks.tk/) actually graphs uptime over... time... which is remarkably useless.
gollark: My server only has 20 days uptime, since I rebooted it recently, sadly.
gollark: I just *suspend to RAM* when it's not in use, so restores take a few seconds at most.
gollark: Oh, this is a laptop.
