Yes, and it's wise not to apply general advice to niche situations: like using a Mac mini for a web host.
With this attitude, we'd all still be running 2U Dell PowerEdge and poor Raspberry Pi would have gone out of business.
It's 2025, almost 2026. A web server from a few years ago has less power than consumer mac Mini today while using much more energy.
Throw out the advice that is from the era of physical install media and let's focus on specific (instead of general, unhelpful) advice as we move into the modern era where cheap computers are just fine.
Your data integrity is at risk not using ECC ram (EXTRA ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE SOFTWARE RAID), which is usually gated out of consumer hardware.
Though those poweredges would have had it.

Nm assumed RLS as a MS TLA. PGsql has it as well. Comment stands, watch data residency.

Interpreting Animats' question as concern for the user population, I think it's a valid one.
The new administration in the US is openly hostile, and a lot of damage could be done to peoples' lives if, say, the community was hacked and private email addresses (or other PII) was leaked.
And I also agree with you -- now's the time for those of us who can afford it, to fly our ally flags as loudly and proudly as possible.
OP: Please make sure your secure coding and operational security practices are excellent and meet the challenge here.

> I personally took a cab from Newark to Laguardia
I don't understand why anyone would ever attempt to do this. Was it truly the only option?
Flight got rebooked with a couple hours notice, stayed at LGA checkin till it opened, had the first flight out. Fare was more than 100$

Congestion pricing can work to dissuade individuals from living in the burbs, only if there is controls on real estate to deal with the influx of people moving inward. The other benefit is an increase of mass transit usage, which is a plus?
I personally took a cab from Newark to Laguardia at MIDNIGHT and it took 40 min to cross into Manhattan to get to the Queens-Midtown tunnel. Just a new level of traffic. Was fun going in the MIB tunnel.
