I have an SSD connected to mine which doesn't need external power and runs fine off the "official" power adapter. The case I have isn't the greatest (two pieces of acrylic and some stand-offs lol), but it costed 50p and gets the job done.
As for scale, you're beyond a Pi at that point.
Probably not "good", but a tin of chickpeas and a jar of store-bought curry sauce (doesn't really matter which one) is super easy. Just put the chickpeas and sauce in a saucepan, and simmer for 20 minutes (also get some rice).
Maintaining a browser is an insane amount of work. Without Mozilla working on Firefox, LibreWolf will stagnate and become unusable.
Whenever I wipe my PC, I use tar to make an archive of the whole system. This works, but having to decompress the whole archive to pull files out is very annoying. Is there another archive format that:
- Preserves permissions (i.e., is Unix-y)
- Supports strong compression (I use either zstd or xz depending on how long I can be bothered to wait)
- Supports pulling out individual files quickly
