When I get back to the #uk I'll be looking to build my own #cluster https://www.pine64.org/2021/09/01/cluste.. This would ultimately save on having to #buy #cloud #computation and could be used to host a series of other tasks, including #storage - #backup - #vpn and even third parties. It could even be setup to replace the need for a #powerful #desktop #machine , simply spinning up computation as required.
