Most programmers earn a wage, not the full value of their labor.

So i should be able to get one cheap and put coreelec on it??

I backed up my configs, made snapshots, and rebuilt each VM from scratch. If I forgot to copy a cron script, i pulled it from the snapshot. It took a full Saturday, but it was a chance to apply everything ive learned the last 3 years and improve some architecture decisions I’d made when i was first learning. With proxmox, you can build a VM that has the basic things you’ll change on every machine (networking, docker, automatic updates, ssh keys, monitoring) and clone it for each server you need.

I want to build an esp32 with an open access point that logs mac addresses that connect to it. Maybe have it cycle through SSIDs- FreeWiFi PublicWifi Xfinity etc

Maybe deploy it in an apartment where tv density is high?

Airbnb is at time marker 4

Exactly, and esp dev boards are super cheap which seemed like one of your goals

Not exactly sure of your use case, but maybe this cpuld work for you. I have a testbed workstation that i crash sometimes. I put the power on a shelly plug, bios set to power on after ac loss.

Problem is- how do I enter the disk encyption password remotely? And more importantly, how do i do it cheaply?

I just adjusted the wifi config to join my network instead of broadcasting an AP.

There’s a very short expiration date on intentions. After that, they’re just PR for the system’s true purpose.
