Finding raspberry pis have been really hard after 2019. It’s too bad, it’s my favorite single board computer.

Tape drive to USB are a great solution.

There are tape drives that are certified to last for a very long time and are as easy as USB plug ins. Looks like a brick and is as heavy as one. Very low speed but you can pack a lot of data for a very long time in one.

I happened to have one. It’s a decent little machine. They don’t seem to die.

However for hosting, I wouldn’t use them. Spec wise they kinda suck.

I messed that up soooo many times it’s not funny. I eventually gave up after spending two weekends on setup and just went with vultr and a turnkey solution.

I used to use them for all my setups. Then the shortages stopped that. Nowadays I just use one big server.

I have a collection of about 60 ish rss feeds on my NextCloud instance. Some that come to mind:

1. Hackaday-It’s great but might take over your feed.

2. https://n-o-d-e.net/rss/rss.xml node is awesome. Lots of great designs and tech related content.

3. https://charity.wtf/ has a good feed. Lots of great software developer and project management articles.

I have a lot more but I’m on my phone.
