Sure, but keep write operations on SD cards in mind.

You can also look at thin clients like the Futro s740, or the much more powerful Lenovo tiny series (like the m720q)

Well these robots run a Linux distribution as a base. So yes, sure, they will run doom just fine.

Why though? When you run multiple services on your machine, conflicts between these can cause headaches. Updating them is also often not trivial on bare metal. Let alone migrating to a newly set up machine (I suppose you could automate that with something like ansible)

What would you prefer and why? Bare metal?

Are both parties online at the same time?

Maybe something like this is a good solution: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

It will figure out the fastest p2p connection and send even very large files without hassle.

24“ with 1080p sucks. The pixels are clearly visible at normal viewing distance on a desk.

Depending on the dongle, that would increase power consumption. I think that is difficult in the current state, seeing that there is not much power to spare at the moment.

I am a hesitating running a VM in proxmox to run my docker services there. It doesn’t feel right to me (maybe I am wrong, what do I know…).

I also do not understand yet how this would work in a cluster. I don’t want all the services bundled on one node (then the whole cluster thing would have been a pointless exercise haha)

And that is good! It would have been a better answer if you mentioned these major limitations as well so that interested people don’t need to look it up :)

Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

But Netflix did encounter issues. For example the account cancel page did not work.

Please elaborate. I have only found that all drives will be treated as they would have the smallest capacity in the bunch.

There is some manual workarounds, which is would not call „can do it fine“

Or am I missing something?

Yes, but it does not have redundancy or caching. Redundancy can be achieved with snapraid, but how you get caching I don’t know…

Free Tier? You mean the 30 day trial?

Which is still not nearly as userfriendly as unraid.

With unraid I can browse the community store, click install and with juste one additional click I most of the time have this service fully running. It notifies me if there is an update and I can install updates with a single click.

With proxmox, I have yet to figure out how to update the installed services without manually ssh-ing in every single container and run a specific update command.

Unraid is light years ahead in terms of userfriendly ux for novice users.

I am more of a Lenovo guy, but they are more or less the same anyway.

Here is a great list of these tiny PCs: https://github.com/a-little-wifi/TinySecrets

I have one installed on a raspberry pi 5 with NVMe adaptor.

A good option are also mini pcs like the Lenovo M720q or the Futro S740

• The ESU license will be associated with the Microsoft account used to enroll. You may be prompted to sign in with a Microsoft account if you typically sign into Windows with a local account.

Hahaha fuck you microsoft.

You can enroll in ESU in one of the following three ways: At no additional cost if you are syncing your PC Settings. Redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points. One-time purchase of $30 USD or local currency equivalent plus applicable tax.

Yep. I will choose the masgrave option thank you.

In this regard: here is a comparison of all the Lenovo tinys: https://github.com/a-little-wifi/TinySecrets

Yes, people don’t know what they need. 400km range is PLENTY of the vehicle can charge fast.
