People are shitting on them because the price point for arm sbcs has risen, while the price point for small x86 computers has come down. Also, x86 availability is high and arm sbc availability has become unreliable. They also aren't generally supported nearly as well. If you don't need more power and you already have them on hand there's no reason not to use them.

A, great. Overly complicated. B, wireguard lets you set your allowed IPS to your networks's subnet so you only tunnel that traffic. C, that's ideal. Use nginx proxy manager. It's super simple. Buy a domain and you can use letsencrypt for SSL so you don't get http nag messages from your browser. Old suggest something with cheap renewals like '.rodeo' or '.top'. D, there are many right ways. Personally, i'd set up your services in a docker compose file, all behind gluetun as a VPN for your torrent service. I'd set up a wireguard VPN on a pi zero elsewhere on your network so you can access everything from outside, and on your wireguard clients i'd only tunnel the traffic to your network's subnet. Unless you want everything behind the same VPN you use for torrenting. In that case i'd run a wireguard service in the same docker network as gluetun, so you can tunnel all your client traffic through that. You could even out a dns server in there as well, and manually set a domain name to your server's ip so you don't have to buy a domain name. Course, then you can't use letsenceypt SSL.
It's called getting old.
Honestly, I just need a terminal and x, or I guess Wayland now. I'm not too fussed about the rest. Tiling has made me care about it even less.
Initramfs listening with dropbear to prompt me for my passphrase. I can ssh in if I needed to reboot, or if it's lost power for longer than my ups can keep it running.
You can also back up your compose file and data directories, pull the backup from another computer, and as long as the architecture is compatible you can just restore it with no problem. So basically, your services are a whole lot more portable. I recently did this when dedipath went under. Pulled my latest backup to a new server at virmach, and I was up and running as soon as the DNS propagated.
Local ordinances specify minimum space requirements for trees, which may mean that they're not allowed to be put in certain places. Also, they can cause pedestrian safety issues, as well as Ada compliance problems in confined spaces. This is an easy way to get something green in a place where you would otherwise not see a tree because of a lot of beaurocratic bullshit.
Obviously, you can argue that all that needs to be changed. And you'd be right. And in many places it's moving that way. But then you also wouldn't get anything done for quite some time. This is an option where there might be no other viable options at the moment.
Ah, but now you have a stack of PiS to screw around with, separate from all the stuff you actually use.
You'd be looking at used mini PCs. I've heard really good things about lenovo. It's not necessarily exactly comparable in price, but the reason people are souring on arm SBCs, and especially PiS, is that it's only a little more for a more powerful lenovo, and there are never any supply issues.
