Ah, I took this too far because of the comment about destroy poor, inexpensive laptops. HushPCs, SolarPCs, & the like might be a bit under powered, but definitely
worth a look.

no, it's the other way round.  i want a very small server.  it needs
to have the same cpu/storage/memory config as the typical laptop, but
doesn't need the display or the keyboard.  it would be sufficiently
small to have a black box the size of a laptop but smaller thickness
(because no display or keyboard)

Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes without saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of crisis and a final decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is nothing final about it. Thus God
is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something -- and here we recognize the traditional
forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
which would debase the entire value of being born."
