I note that $25 got the author 16GB of storage - another $70 was spent on boosting that to 2TB.
For GNU/Linux users - but will obviously work just fine for Microsoft and Apple clients - a good combination is SyncThing on local + remote mini-server, with BorgBackup running on just the server side.
SyncThing gives you near-instant synchronisation, and BorgBackup gives you periodic archives (at your periodicity & retention preferences).
For isolation purposes, I went for a small-footprint VM for each family member, and instructed that anything they really care about needs to go into ~/work/ or ~/private/ to be looked after.
- puzzlingcaptcha 3y agoYou can often get those for as little as $10 these days, I paid $25 in 2020. Interestingly the APU supports AES-NI and has a little crypto accelerator for SHA (unlike RPi which didn't splurge the extra dollar on Armv8 Cryptography Extensions). I'd recommend going for t620 over the t520 for double the cores at the same idle power draw (6.5W). If you are fine with just two cores Fujitsu Futro s520 is also great. https://heap.ovh/tag/thin-client.html https://heap.ovh/tag/thin-client.html
