I'm more impressed by the internet connection. Mine is down for at least a few minutes every week. And that's only counting when I'm at home to notice it.

- adrian_b 4y agoThough I am an individual user, I have paid since the beginning for a "business" internet connection, in order to obtain some (8) static public IPv4 addresses. It has cost me about $60 per month, which is significantly more than non-business connections of similar speed (currently around 400 Mb/s) cost around here. Paying for a business connection has been the main expense for having my own e-mail and web server. Except for the first server, all the later upgrades have been done by reusing computers that had been originally bought and used for other purposes. With the quickly declining power consumption of the newer servers, the cost of the electrical energy has become negligible. A Raspberry Pi is not a good choice for a firewall/router and/or Web server, but there are small computers similar in size and price, e.g. NanoPi R5S (fanless and with 3 Ethernet ports, including two of 2.5 Gb/s for LAN and one of 1 Gb/s for WAN; 2 USB ports can be used to increase the number of Ethernet ports to 5), which should be good enough for most people.
