That's fine, it says "pie" anyway...
Case dismissed!
ZFS has a "copies=N" setting, but documentation and discussion I can find say there's no guarantee that the copies will end up on different devices (vdevs in ZFS parlance)
You can use Snikket with other servers too, there is no restriction or special sauce. It's mostly a fork of Conversations.
The same author talks about load balancing in one article and retries in the other one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
in addition to "dedicated Nas + compute node" and "just use a desktop" suggestions, there's the microserver option in between. Small, but has enough power to run stuff other than storage.
Hp proliant microserver is what I use, you can try getting a previous generation from second hand market.
"underpowered" routers are usually underpowered for multiple high bandwidth wireless connections. if you disable the wireless, shoving bits over copper would -usually- be efficient enough to not be the bottleneck.
6GB is more than enough for many desktop environments. Plus, a server wouldn't have any anyway. not booting the Ubuntu installer seems like a bug, or other non-resource problem. if you try with a newer installer, or some other distro, that computer can host many things.
