I don't expect them to, just noting there are still new ones out there.
And while something new is being developed/tested, having a metric fuck ton of backup floppies isn't the worst idea.

You can grab a 10 pack of DS, HD 5.25" on Amazon for $30 apparently
Will try and do again later, yeah
Had to find the cable to charge it, so it only got power last night. So on the list for after work today.
Well no WiiU here, but I've got an N3DS upstairs somewhere. Maybe a regular 3DS too if I ever got it back.
Will do what I can later today!
Wasn't my rack, thankfully, so it was someone else's problem.
But anyway even internal you're just leaning on when the thumb drive will fail vs an SSD and the onboard controller. So give me that SSD and HA any day of the week, but that's my comfort level. I even do it at home with my proxmox clusters.
So just... Waiting for failure then? ;)
As for me, give me an HA cluster and I don't care if I need to reinstall. I don't need to worry about an additional point of failure (USB drive) that is almost always going to fail before any of the other hardware.
It's part of why absolutely nothing important ever runs on a raspberry Pi for me though, SD cards are no better.
Now as for my favorite example of why I don't do it in production? Someone doing a bit of minor maintenance in the rack, accidentally pressed against a box running esxi off USB (on a gen 6 HP for rough timeline), broke the drive.
The backup? Well, it had corrupted, and wouldn't boot.
Nope.
Just waiting for failure in my experience.
Any sort of tiny/mini/micro, 6th gen Intel or better for jellyfin transcodes.
Usually you can get a laptop HDD plus an nvme in there, but check specs. Put the OS on the nvme drive, use the 2.5" HDD for backups, CEPH, etc.
For the OS I'd use Proxmox and just make each service an LXC.
Same as sort settings for subscribed.
Active, top for the past x hours/days/month/all, new, etc. You pick, Lemmy doesn't.
Proxmox.
Each service becomes an LXC. Docker containers can be migrated to LXC, or be contained within an LXC dedicated to docker.
Running out of processing power? Add another server, add to a cluster, and migrate services (LXC or VM) over.
Having run Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, slack, even Oracle Linux - Proxmox is what I run for myself (and some clients).
