At the end of 2021, I moved my blog into Linode. The main goal for this was to keep it up in case of disaster or outage at home, and utilize the much better networking of Linode. Here is the post: Moving my Blog from Home to LinodeA while ago

Well, that didn’t take very long at all! As with almost everything, the cloud seems appealing, and then slowly increased in price while the service gets reduced

    Check out the Lenovo Tiny’s, can get them used on eBay for quite cheap. I’m running a M720q with 64GB of RAM, an in i7-8700T, with Dual 10GB NIC’s. Uses hardly any power!

      +1 this. I went further and have a 3 node proxmox cluster with a mix of beelink and minisforum pcs. If I find that I need more cpu power I can add another node to the cluster and drop the weakest link and proxmox handles moving all the vms/lxcs

      At $50 a month using cloud services you could buy a very beefy mini pc but that also means you have to manage it. I’d say that it took about a month of setting up everything to get to a point where I only log into proxmox ~1-2 times a month.
