    I have two pi4's, one of them is at another location which has Debian 13 installed on it, I run a couple of HUBS for a ImageBBS for the C64 Network and if I lose power here or take down the HUBS for any reason (Bad weather, vacations, etc.) I only need to switch over the IP on my FQDN provider and the calls automatically switch over to the Pi. My VM here backs up every 15 minutes to the cloud and the Pi downloads the latest backup every 17 minutes, so there is only a 2 minute difference between the files. Works fantastic as if I need to change the IP address on the FQDN provider that can be done from my phone...

    The 2nd Pi is a 8gb unit, it currently runs Debian 13 also but is just being used as a desktop at work, since my PC at work is locked down via IT, I have the Pi as a desktop for me to do things that don't require IT to allow to be done, in other words I do all of my work on the Pi and my desktop PC at work really hasn't been used since the first day I was there, and since it is being used on the Guest WiFi there is no issues with IT saying I am using it for non-working stuff.. The nice thing is no one knows about it, it is in a draw and hooked up to the monitor that the PC uses. It works out great for me..
