K8s is great, but you’re chaning the subject and not answering OPs question. Containers =/= VMs.

I wouldn’t mix 5400 rpm drives with 7200 rpm drives, but if the rpm & sizes are the same, there won’t be any measurable performance loss.

I use migadu and am happy with them. I do wish they had another tier between $19 and $90.

I have a couple domains that are very low volume for outgoing mail. I use Migadu. I’m happy with their cheapest tier ($19/year for both domains). They have catch-alls and many other nice features.

Edit: They have no hard limits on the number of addresses, users, or domains and such. They just want you to be reasonable. You choose a tier based on your average quantity of outgoing mails per day. Again, there are no hard limits; they won’t cut you off unless you abuse the system.

I have 2 servers that backup to each other. I also use B2 for photos and important stuff.

I’ve been running tiny tiny rss (aka ttrss) on a vps for well over 10 years. It’s been rock solid through many upgrades. It’s got a great web interface & android app. There’s a decent sized community for it. The only drawback is that primary dev (fox) does not tolerate (what he conciders) dumb questions. The new docker compose deployment is brain-dead simple.

I’ve got a 3 node cluster. They are a hodge-podge of weak, old hardware. Yes, it’s worth it. Don’t worry about HA and automatic migration. It’s nice to have a single interface to all the nodes. Also look into the proxmox backup server (PBS). It’s a very nice backup system.
