Building a proper server-like machine pays off in the long run. Multiple RAID disks and a UPS. Some server distro and there's a node for the next decade or so.

yeah, this is my biggest issue with my current setup. there's no RAID and eventually this sdd is going to fail. storage devices have a 100% failure rate. 😉 plus, my Pi 4 will be 4 years old in June. who knows how long that thing will last.
