<p>I'm sure there's better options now but the HP ProLiant MicroServers (used).<p>They support ECC ram, 4 caddies, one extra PCIe slot, and to my knowledge you're not cpu limited for a zfs file server usecase.<p>Keep in mind though, all you need is linux* support, iDRAC, ECC if you're a snob, and drive bays ... and that's basically any free server.<p>In my extremely opinionated opinion I would only get used enterprise server gear, because a zfs file server will just work unless hardware fails. And a UPS.<p>*ZFS will be a more natural choice on FreeBSD. It's better documented, and will meet Linux 1:1 in hardware compatibility for this.</p>

<p>Somewhat off topic but since I see people discussing language proficiency using the CEFR system I'll ask.<p>Which certification language test is most transferrable? I'm most interested in testing for Latam Spanish if possible. SIELE or DELE?</p>

<p>IANAS but my understanding is they keep going upstream - while there's current to push against them - as an instinctual response. I believe water temperature also plays a role.<p>Salmon hatcheries also artificially boost the quantity of salmon in the stream.<p>If a salmon hatchery released salmon at the base of a dam, when the fish return and the dam was now gone, they'd just keep going.<p>However, there's more to it than this, because dammed rivers lacking salmon hatcheries have seen salmon runs start once the dams are removed.<p>I don't think the old adage that salmon will only return to their original spawning grounds is the whole story.</p>

<p>I generally use alacritty but used rxvt back when. That's a name I've not heard in awhile!<p>I tried `cat /dev/random` in alacritty, rxvt, and xterm to compare output speed.
rxvt and xterm both start 'instantly' on my laptop. With alacritty it's slower.
Scroll speed of both rxvt and xterm are very similar though xterm seems to win by a little. Both blow the doors off alacritty though.<p>I'm not sure if this is a fair test, and hence why I posted, but if it is this is a very easy way to get a feel for the difference.</p>

<p>They operate at different layers.<p>iscsi is a block device: you gain a 'disk drive' sitting on your network.
A dedicated network for disk traffic and use it to host on-prem virtualization. It's called a SAN array.</p>

<p>I'm not the OP but I'd clarify the cron check for new versions is done every minute. So when new images are pushed they're picked up quickly.<p>OP is not saying they push new versions at such a high frequency they need checks every one minute.<p>The choice of one minute vs 15 minute is implementation detail and when architected like this costs nothing.<p>I hope that helps. Again this is my own take.</p>

<p>So it's been awhile but the best and simplest way I think is use an access point. I don't want my wireless gear doing routing. From a logic stand point they acts as wireless "bridge" to the physical network, and nothing more. DHCP, etc. stay handled in one place for the entire network, back on the physical router.</p>

<p>I did this back when, just using a 100mbit NIC express card.<p>Ran openbsd for a few years like that, the base OS included everything needed. I recall it used 24MB of ram and closer to 30MB if ssh'd in. It was very handy to have a local login when playing with firewall rules.</p>
