I liked this read when considering legal ramifications for hosting content. It is U.S. focused so it might not be applicable to someone in another country.

Yes, like I just learned about gearhead.town which is focused on vehicles (cars, motorcycles, etc.), which is an idea I’d had myself but I’m nowhere near skilled enough to operate an instance right now.

My question is more, if I want to comment, how do I decide where it goes? I assume if I’m replying to a specific comment on a post, my reply will just show up there, but if I’m making a top-level comment, can I choose which community it goes in, or perhaps send the same comment to every community? Maybe a comment is appropriate in one community but not another.

How does it handle posting comments, deciding where to put them?

That seems pretty logical

Perhaps most impressively, the Mac Studio accomplishes this while consuming under 200 watts of power. Comparable performance on traditional PC hardware would require multiple GPUs drawing approximately ten times more electricity.

[…]

However, this performance doesn’t come cheap – a Mac Studio configured with M3 Ultra and 512GB of RAM starts at around $10,000. Fully maxed out, an M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 16TB of SSD storage and an Apple M3 Ultra chip with 32-core CPU, 80-core GPU, and 32-core Neural Engine costs a cool $14,099. Of course, for organizations requiring local AI processing of sensitive data, the Mac Studio offers a relatively power-efficient solution compared to alternative hardware configurations.

I wonder what a multi-GPU x86-64 system with adequate RAM and everything would cost? If it’s less, how many kWh of electricity would it take for the Mac to save money?

No, the Mac Studio power button is on the back with most of the ports. Mac Mini is in the bottom.
