How much do you spend on the remote server on a monthly basis? Also, what's the hardware you use for the home server?

Remote server's a 20USD/month DigitalOcean droplet with 4GB memory. Though even half of that would also have specified for these services.

Home server's a Raspberry Pi 4.

Prefab system images From Russia With Love, including password managers and surfing proxies, spun up on a VPS operated by totally unknown people (probably remoted to the actual DC from some place with bad water)...security nightmare. When I see Statue of Liberty sticking up out of the water on the shoreline, imma scream like Charles Heston! Need Congress/FTC to set guidelines. In mean time, know that you don't get all the benefits of that stack for "free", you're burning down future hours that will be in disaster recovery mode.

it's an electrical issue (contacts on SD cards, voltage/thermal spikes, etc.)

Sure. I still wonder and it would be interesting to find out which filesystems is the most resilient under the conditions you describe there.
