So my RPi 4 has just arrived, and I have had an idea.
What I want to do is to be able to have a main server constantly running at home, meaning that I can make it run whatever programs I want it to (i.e daily headlines emails etc).
Why would I not just use AWS? Well cost really. AWS gets expensive quickly especially when downloading things from the S3 buckets. Whereas dropbox does not charge anything to download a file. If i need to download multiple instances of a file (or download it many times an hour) then I would quickly run up a bill with AWS but not with dropbox. I can use the DBox python module to upload a file and return its download URL, so I can up-/down-load an updated JSON file there, and up-/down-load it many times a day, hour or minute!
Therefore, I think I will overhaul the mirror (that or build a new one) using the RPi4 which will act as my permanent home server.
