Yeah that sounds like a good solution. I think arch based pikvm does something similar. (no reboot necessary to enable rw)

For those pis that need to write stuff, I usually mount a network drive and use that while having the overlayfs enabled. So far haven’t had any issues, only one pi died after 3 years due to faulty power supply.

Try to use overlayfs under raspi-config, I’ve been running some raspberry pis for years with that (mostly on offsite locations where fixing dead sd cards is not possible)

Updating the pis is a little more work but in some use cases it’s worth it

In my eyes Gizmodo is not seeing the big picture. The protest didn’t kill reddit, but that was not a realistic outcome to begin with. However it significantly hurt reddit and helped push lemmy as an alternative. Reddit will be around for a long time, until lemmy has more widespread adaptation. It’s the beginning of the end for reddit and they’ll experience that with a disaster ipo

Oh I actually didn’t know that. That indeed changes my perception a little bit

Idk but in my opinion describing red*it as a juggernaut for hosting multimedia is a bit far fetched, since their own image / video hosting platform is pretty shit and most of the media content is actually hosted on other platforms.

To be honest, nothing. Running my home server on a nuc with proxmox and a 8 bay synology Nas (though I’m glad that I went with 8 bay back then!).
As a router I have opnsense running on a low powered mini pc.

All in all I couldn’t wish for more (low power, high performance, easy to maintain) for my use case, but I’ll soon need some storage and ram upgrade on the proxmox server.
