With PubKey and Fail2Ban its probably ok but wouldnt chance it personally. Can you use a different port too?

321 rule - anything super critical also gets off-sited to the cloud.

All of the above. + Archival

Law suit evidence, payslip/tax stuff and car service history are my main 3

Wipe it, start fresh.

If you dont, youll just end up with a buggy system that you end up wiping in 6 months time anyway.

M1 Max and modern Ryzen user here. My M1 Max feels equally, if not more, snappy than latest gen Ryzen.

If your M1 Max is struggling then thats abnormal. Its still plenty powerful

Too bloated, too unstable, too insecure.

Will just reboot all the time and whore memory. Way more susceptible to malware.

Couple of tools ive wanted

1. Proper car service history tracking thing that allows you to create a vehicle, then log services/repairs/consumables with dates, prices, locations, maybe even upload the invoices etc. Bonus points if it can generate a PDF service report for when its time to sell the car. Could also integrate chosen service intervals etc so you can view what milages things are next due. I did see hammond but it feels more operational cost logging focused (eg fuel expenses)

​

2. A computer bench marking system where you can create a configuration, add a benchmark type, then record the benchmark results. This could then make pretty graphs etc to compare different configurations/benchmarks

Would guestimate the PC (with no GPU) to pull maybe 100w assuming an average load of 20 ish percent. - 40 of this would come from drives (about 10w each).

This would be about 2.4kwh/day or in the UK, around £0.70 on a cheap tariff (or £255 a year). Obviously these figures vary massively depending on power cost per kwh in your region

Sounds like a 24port none poe is the one for me then! Thats only 10w more than the mikrotik
