  1. widening the topic to the future life of this cluster in such a scenario, I have a general plan for that as well:

    * use 35-watt tier (T-class CPU) #1LPC systems for now, with an eye to moving to 15-watt tier (U-class CPU) systems in another couple upgrade cycles; currently there isn't really a U-class equivalent of the T-class #TinyMiniMicro systems from the big manufacturers, NUC is about as standard as it gets.

    * develop technique with gear on hand whenever possible, meaning continue using these ancient & crappy consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP batteries, use existing 15yo RasPi for control, but the point is to have the experience built up so I can quickly switch to a Pi Zero class system and a custom DC-DC UPS when the time comes.

  3. but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:

    OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT

    Virtualization: #Proxmox

    Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU

    Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN

    Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use

    Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries
