Ownership lab

Local versus rented compute.

Transparent arithmetic, versioned cloud price ranges, and no depreciation forecast disguised as fact.

Local system
Cloud reference

Community versus Secure Cloud observed range; storage, egress, availability and stopped-volume fees are separate.

Observed 2026-08-18; catalog data as of 2026-08-18. Not live pricing.

Caveats:
  • Cloud range excludes persistent storage, egress, taxes, and unavailable capacity.
  • Local cost excludes resale value and includes stated maintenance and electricity assumptions.
  • Idle power is included when supplied; depreciation and future price changes are not forecast.
