I want a little blade server or SBC stack cabinet, that’s sized to fit comfortably near the broadband router, which is set up to run a bunch of home services from nest controller to Minecraft server as a lightweight kubernetes.

Every so often you swap out the slowest one for a new one and keep adding more stuff to it.

Add the ability to isolate some of the machines as bastion hosts and we could do an awful lot without having to exfiltrate our own data.

You can get a nice arm device with 16 or 32 gb ram for about 150 bucks and a screw 2 tb ssd to it for another 100 something.

There is even risc-v things with decent ram, nvme connector and costing about 50 bucks
