Beror på om man har bostad med lån eller inte, tänker jag. Hyresvärden lär ju inte sänka hyran igen och matpriserna ska fortsätta stiga framöver.
Claes Hemberg säger "En färsk ECB-rapport pekar på att det hetare och torrare klimatet börjar bli allt mer synligt i matpriserna. De vänta stiga 3-4 procent per år framöver."

I'm only running a single eGPU + USB Controller passthrough and while it took some tinkering to get it started it has been smooth sailing afterwards. The B650 series of motherboards has mostly had good IOMMU groupings so there's a good chance your motherboard will allow you to play around with some KVM/QEMU/VFIO if you wanna try gpu passthrough to a virtual machine.
Regarding Case: Generic I would look into getting one with dust protection (bottom and front) and preferably sound proofing. Having the dust get stuck outside the computer makes cleaning so much simpler and having a quiet computer is lovely.
Personally I'm a fan of the Fractal Design Define 7 but I imagine you can get a case with the dust protection and sound proofing much cheaper than that if you take the time to look around and read some reviews, especially if you don't need E-ATX or multiple 3.5'' disk slots.
Alternatively, you can create new users from the command line.
This can be done as follows:
If synapse was installed via pip, activate the virtualenv as follows (if Synapse was installed via a prebuilt package, register_new_matrix_user should already be on the search path):
cd ~/synapse
source env/bin/activate
synctl start # if not already running
Run the following command:
register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml
This will prompt you to add details for the new user, and will then connect to the running Synapse to create the new user. For example:
New user localpart: erikj
Password:
Confirm password:
Make admin [no]:
Success!
This process uses a setting registration_shared_secret, which is shared between Synapse itself and the register_new_matrix_user script.
It doesn't matter what it is (a random value is generated by --generate-config), but it should be kept secret, as anyone with knowledge of it can register users, including admin accounts, on your server even if enable_registration is false.

Historically I've gone for Lenovo laptops, at least for their business segments they've been good with releasing updates to fix security issues for many years. Having a promise of 5 years of firmware updates would be lovely though.
For some reason I imagine a toilet that automates a stool test and blood test and gives you a health report every month.
AUX, MicroSD, smaller format and big battery was the reason I went for my Sony Xperia 10 IV (budget phone, got mine new for 260€) device.
Sadly their software updates are only for two years as otherwise I would've been interested in the Sony Xperia 5 series (compact flagship). I'm not paying flagship prices for a phone that stops updating after two years.
I hope that the EU regulation forcing 5 years of updates for phones and tablets starting June 2025 will allow me a compact flagship phone with aux, big battery and updates for a long time.

Info that could help others help you:
House or flat?
Renting or owning?
How large an area do you need to heat?
How many rooms?
Temperature and savings:
Where I live they say that a house with people living in it should be at least 16°C (~60°F) to handle the moisture we generate.
Humans should have at least 18°C (64°F), preferably 20°C (68°F).
That means that you could close doors and let unoccupied rooms have lower temperature than the rooms you use.
If you're stuck with space heaters then you'll save quite a lot that way.

Tables are something that’s just a given in excel, takes 10 seconds to setup, and you get automatic sorting and filtering, with near-zero effort.
I also find excel easier to use than libreoffice calc as I'm more experienced with excel. This example though is easily solved by using Autostyle + Autoformat

Toms Hardware, info about 80 Plus efficiency levels:
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/what-80-plus-levels-mean,36721.html
Case:
The Fractal Design Define 7 without glass pane looks like a boring black box but the dust filters and noise cancelling is wonderful and it's really easy to build in. I would choose that one over the North series.
PSU:
I would try to up the Watt to at least 850W. The closer to 50% psu use the more efficient the psu is and the wattage that isn't used efficiently turns into heat.
Getting a 1000 Watt Platinum PSU would result in a cooler and quieter case, but not very budget friendly.
A stronger PSU also increases the chances of you bringing it with you into your next computer build, or being able to add a stronger GPU to the current build in the future.
Mjo, känns lite som att första versen i blå tågets staten och kapitalet är högaktuell i dagsläget, det där med att betala mindre i lön än priset för mat och för hyra menar jag.
I sann internetanda valde jag staden alla älskar att hata, Borås, och kikade på hur en 21årig lokalvårdares ekonomi skulle kunna se ut. En väldigt duktig sådan som aldrig äter ute och har ett "Fritid och lek-konto" på 120 SEK per månad.
