Is your VPN running on the same host as ssh? If so it could be a firewall issue. What VPN are you using?

Thin client! They’re significantly more powerful than a pi and you can grab them for nothing on eBay and you can use the nvme slots for storage, I’ve had sd cards go bad in pis

I like osmand. I usually have my state and surrounding states downloaded just in case. It also can show more information than Google maps, especially for hiking and mountain biking, you can also customize the map display as well. The navigation is obviously not as good as maps but it’s reliable af.

This is when you paginate. It’s pretty cheap for the database to grab a limited amount ordered by certain criteria, you’d just need to make sure your indexes are correct.

I’m not convinced using rust is all that useful for web development. There are already plenty of other mature well optimized solutions for backend web development that includes a lot of security, qol features ootb like mature orm’s with optimized database access which regardless of how fast your code is can bottleneck your site much faster if you don’t have smart database access.

Yeah, theoretically rust can be faster than ruby/python/node, but it’s harder to optimize it enough to get to that point and you will have a much harder time finding devs to work on such a project because the amount of backend devs that have enough rust experience is so small, they’re like on the opposite sides of the ven diagram of languages for web developers.

On top of all that, languages which are heavily used for web development often get low level optimizations baked into the frameworks/languages so you can get pretty amazing performance uplifts over time to bring it to the level of lower level languages.
