I’m waiting for one of those right now as well!

Nice, 8/10. Don’t buy bambu lab, they will suck you soul.

Spinning down and up actually kills drives more than constant non-stop work, I have a setup close to yours, it just seeds torrents (linux isos ofc.) 24/7.

Your decision, we have import tax as well starting from 150 euros or something, I’ve just always written 100 or less. With used hw you often don’t get warranty beyound week or 10 days anyway.

Building on a nonserver hw is a good idea. You could look things up at aliexpress, they almost always have free shipping. Alternatively you can buy stuff in US/EU for cheap and use some service for parcel delivery from there (meest/shipito etc.), often they deliver super cheap (like us$10-20 for something that would be two timesmore expensive locally)

You probably can find some people on old school windows forums, also different warez/piracy forums. You can also try to show off on hackernews/lobsters, sometimes people there just love small projects like yours.

That’s like half of PBtA games, no?

Because they want to. You can get your proofs yourself.

These probably require more maintenance and not less, glass needs to be regularly cleaned and water changed and fertilized, what will happen when company stops supporting this proprietary algae aquariums?

Tried different techniques but people almost always get bored and just want to move on to important details. So I’ve decided to only mention important details.

Ffs you do not get disappeared for using vpns especially personal ones. You can install vpns that circumvent firewalls as long as they are blessed by ccp and they are sold using wechat. For non compliant ones it’s the same. It’s you who misunderstands how authoritarian systems work, noone tries to nail you for doing something semi-illegal, you will be dissapeared for non-conforming not for exploiting system.

VPN’s aren’t illegal in china, and they don’t go about random people who use them. Unless you are very vocal and high profile person no one will black bag you in a country of billion people, lol.

Yeah, you can look up how to setup hysteria2 and xray. Additionally you need to understand that firewall is different in different places, in some places like big cities you can even use plain openvpn (during daytime), in other more rural places almost everything is blocked.

We’ve bought ~20 of small glinets for testing purposes there were zero problems as long the plastic shell was off, with shell on they had cooling problems, but that’s about it.

You are overthinking it, without flushing ram everything works fine. OS inside VM would just boot as normal and that’s it.

You do not need to shut down services to make snapshots, why would you?

I won’t use fs snapsots as backups especially one as poorly supported on linux as zfs. I would go with external qcow disk snapshots and they can be pretty easily automated.

Don’t fret about ssd lifespan, unless you are planning on writing tb a day they will outlive your setup. I wouldn’t personally use zfs for this, unless you have a lot of memory just laying around.
