A few outdated data points:
* a single cheap Odroid-U2 arm SoC needs 51 days
* a beefy crapload-cores, everything-in-RAM machine can do it in 17 hours;
adding even more cores doesn't help as libreoffice takes that much and
doesn't paralellize further
* half a decade ago it was a matter of ~350 fast amd64 core-hours, this
might still hold as archive bloat+gcc slowdown might match increases of
single-core performance

A MAP07 (Dead Simple) raspberry tincture recipe: 0.5l 95% alcohol, 1kg
raspberries, 0.4kg sugar; put into a big jar for 1 month. Filter out and
throw away the fruits (can dump them into a cake, etc), let the drink age
at least 3-6 months.
