It doesn’t really take all that much to run 2Gb speeds if you’re not doing much with the traffic - any modernish processor in a small fanless box would work with 4-8GB ram. If you’re wanting to run Suricata, VPN, etc then you need more.

I feel that’s even more important to have now, to organize interests, since we subscribe to multiples of the same kind of communities.

I, too, am Spartacus.
