Mac seems like a bad and expensive choice for servers.

Those are the only use cases where Macs make financial sense any more. On newer Macs you can attach external storage that's as fast as the internal storage so you don't have to pay the 10x uplift on storage prices at least. I'm still running the last version with upgradeable RAM and have all the storage external. permalink fedilink source parent
