Hi Michiel!

Not my point of view at all.
No fun is when the SD Card (or eMMC) in my odroid (where the node currently rund) fails again :)
Also not fun running the fido traffic over the shared residential connection which has only 7 MBit/s in upstream and is used for all LAN access from my home.

I have no issue whatsoever to use a vserver where I have root access and I can set up whatever I want.

I was very pleasantly surprised how extremely well the "webGUI" works.
You can remotely reset, connect (including VNC access even to the BIOS).

So in all I much prefer to concentrate on the SW side, and let the HW be managed by people that do that for a living.

CU, Ricsi
