Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.
Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.
Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.
Upside: not fired.
Downside: have to do work.
Upside: make money
Downside: not enough money
While shit is a renewable resource, only so much shit can exist at any one time.
Shitpost mods need to walk a fine line of laxitives, costives, gas station sushi, big mac meals, and dilators. Sometimes they get it wrong.

If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.
My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.
There’s a constant race between inventors and the universe. Inventors are trying to create idiot proof devices, and the universe is creating better idiots.
The universe is winning.
There’s always a trade off when it comes to any device.
Fast or slow, lots of features or basic, cheap or expensive, thin/stylish or ruggedized, water or other ingress resistant standards. All of these have to be weighted against each other.
Also what constitutes a drop? 4 feet, 40 feet, 400? (sorry if I turned on anyone with a foot fetish)
It is absolutely possible to create a mobile phone with most features people want that survives multiple 4 foot high drops, but it will be encased in a few cm of rubber, the touch screen will be under a noticeable screen protector, and reception might suffer a bit, and it won’t have wireless charging unless you’re ok if that stops working after a unlucky drop. It will also probably be expensive, even more so if you then want to use more premium materials in order to try and slim it down some.

HOW DOES SUCH A SMALL BEING MAKE SO MUCH POOP?!
Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that’s still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn’t in web stuff.
Mine is nice and quick in regards to the web interface and general functions. However I run it on a server at home and my upload speed isn’t the best, so if I need to pull a larger file (Files On Demand enabled) then obviously the transfer speed of the file is a bit sluggish.
Hosted on a VM with 16GB RAM, 4 cores. Using the NextcloudAIO docker deployment option, all behind an Apache reverse proxy (I have a bunch of other services on another VM that all have reverse proxy access in place as well).
In very basic terms, and why you want to do them:
Attack surface is the ports and services you are exposing to the internet. Keep this as small as possible to reduce the ways your setup can be attacked.
Network topology is the layout of your home network. Do you have multiple vlans/subnets, firewalls that restrict traffic between internal networks, a DMZ is probably a simple enough approach that is available on some home grade routers. This is so if your server gets breached it minimises the amount of damage that can be done to other devices in the network.
Red pill. I have so many new ideas on how to ruin my life!
Turns out homeless people drink much more milk than expected, or are somehow getting their hands on calcium supplements, their bones are far less brittle than expected and keep dulling out the blades.
The first year price is a “loss leader” discount. Get you in the door, then make a profit from you in future.
Namecheap have a bit of a reputation (as can be seen here with a few people warning of poor support), Spaceship seems to be a bit of a offshoot/addition they have created, partly as it doesn’t seem to be a 1-1 comparison, and partly maybe to avoid their existing reputation?
However, it’s not entirely a bad idea to separate your registrar from your DNS provider. If one goes down, you still have access to the other to make changes. I used namecheap in the past because it was cheap, and cloudflare for DNS. If you are using both for only your registrar, it probably won’t matter much at all as you are probably not changing nameservers often, if at all, once set.
Here’s a link to the Tesla story, there’s plenty more if you search on google. I don’t know 100% how it works, looks similar to your issue where voltage irregularities cause odd behaviour.
As for the power supply vs charger thing. I have not looked around that hard to determine if using a charger like this is a super bad thing to do. I suppose low quality chargers and power supplies could be delivering dirty power which could cause issues or shorten the lifespan of the device. Power supplies are also more designed to run for long periods of time. It depends on how much you want to spend.,
To add to this. If you have more than one rpi, swap the power supplies and cables around in different combinations, see if the issue follows a particular part.
Electronics can get weird when they have voltage irregularities, you even see this as a hacking method on occasion, but it’s not exactly consistent from what I understand. I saw an article where people started messing with voltage to a Tesla’s CPU and managed to unlock premium features.
I am currently powering two rpi’s with a 40w USB dual port charger, has been going well.
If you are going to use your desktop, I would suggest putting all of the self-hosted services into a VM.
This means if you decide you do want to move it over to dedicated hardware later on, you just migrate the VM to the new host.
This is how I started out before I had a dedicated server box (refurb office PC repurposed to a hypervisor).
Then host whatever/however you want to on the VM.
