In all my research most cases for standard hardware are 4u and when you try to get down to 1u or 2u you spend a lot of time/money trying to fit it. I would look into buying dedicated server like a dell r6xx series box and going from there you’d honestly save money and headache.
No blades are different they are small full compute modules that go into a large backplane chassis https://www.supermicro.com/sites/default/files/2018-11/8U_SuperBlade.png
You’d probably be better to look at per capita consumption. I’d imagine that vegas is probably lower than areas where alternative meats and vegan options are lower. Education and availability of other options are the only way to drop it down. Heart disease being on the top 10 in the US just shows how red meat is too high in our diets.
There are builds for Android TV lineage os for the raspberry pi. If you are willing to put in some work for alternative apps it’s a great interface with no Google integration. I’ve used kodi before i moved to jellyfin always found the kodi -> jellyfin integration to be clunky. Google TV would be much cleaner
Have you thought about log aggregation with something like Prometheus/graphana or ELK?
Lol thinking about cpu notifications for myself. I get notified when the fans ramp up on my server.
Tested a very very basic performance test with python and it was 100x slower
Holy shit web assembly compiled qemu vm runs nix in your browser
Nexus 5 peak android customization, I had cyanogen mod dual booted with stock android.
My old palm pre was amazing webos ui was way ahead of its time, super customizable, independent from google, Facebook and everyone elae, all in a sleek package with a physical keyboard. It had many other issues but it took android a few years to catch up so their UI wasn’t as clunky.
You must have a lot of people and/or some heavy mods. I haven’t had much issues with 3-4 people on a VM with a Xeon E5-2690 2.90GHz
