Thanks for pointing this out. I wasn't aware of NetFlow. I don't use IVPN, but I found this writeup informative:

The discovery of the atom? Huge cross-continental diverse group of humans of varying levels of power and privilege running successive experiments that led to our current atomic model.

It seems to me like a lot of historical context would go into that discovery. You also mention power, privilege, and collaboration across continents.

All of these factors shape the process of doing science. I think it's an amazing (and beautiful!) thing that we can collaborate on such a scale.

Science is done by people, and I think it's silly to pretend that people can somehow operate in a way that's entirely removed from history and culture.

Certainly in terms of who was able to participate in the discovery, but I doubt the actual discovered structure was shaped much by the discoverers. Put another way, I would be absolutely fascinated to see other accurate greenfield formulations of an atomic model that do not resemble our current one which could have been invented by another set of possible discoverers enabled by fortune to pursue them. I think that the ideas defining the model comprise the “shape” of the discovery more than the discoverers themselves, who merely stumbled upon them and investigated.

They do. It's mentioned in the link.

The link mentions a profile transfer to a new membership, not to another existing membership.

You're right! I misread. That would be nice to have.

Be careful with calibre-web; it's had a ton of vulnerabilities. To the author's credit, they are typically addressed quickly, but there have been enough related to auth to make me wary.

Maybe hosting this service behind a firewall / on a private network would make the most sense. I notice many people here are running Tailscale at home — perhaps this is why?

This looks really cool. It's the first time I've heard of fitlet, and seems like exactly what I've been looking for to replace my old noisy server.

Did you consider any alternatives when putting together this setup? Or for others reading, are there similar fanless options to compare?

The primary other I looked at was an Intel NUC.

I also use several raspberry pi for some smaller iot things, but I find it is nice to have one decently powerful server to run a whole bunch of services on.

It also has two external 8Tb drives in software raid0 that I use for my NAS storage.
