It ain't no joke?

No. Wind drag on handles is most certainly not negligible. Even small protrusions on an otherwise smooth surface can have a significant effect. That effect is hard to model - you can't just eyeball it.
Drag is proportional to windspeed squared.
Aero matters to fucking cyclists. It absolutely 100% matters to motor vehicles, especially in the context of EV range anxiety.
Just don't fucking dunning-kruger, FFS. Surely you realise that automotive engineers have specific education that you don't have. I don't mind you being wrong, it's the arrogance that pisses me off.
That's a plausible claim. If you find it hard to believe, maybe you should go back to the wind tunnel.

Hmm. I run mine off a usb3 ssd and it's faster, but still slow.
It's OK, but I'd suggest:
Atom > arm64 > arm32
I ran on a Pi 4, but switched to a PC for jellyfin. The pi can't transcode for shit. It was slow to boot and slow over SSH.
Look for a NUC - they're designed for desktop use, so they have more poke than a Pi. The N6005 CPU is a good choice, the N5105 is ok. These are x64, so you'll have the widest range of packages. 4GB will do, if its upgradeable later. NUCs usually take SODIMMs, which you can pick up on ebay for peanuts.
Bear in mind that network chipset will be your bottleneck in some use cases. If it has a "gigabit port" but only a cheap chipset, and you use it as a router, you might max out at ADSL speeds... in that case you'll wish you'd gone for a box designed for soft routing, which are a fair bit pricier.
Pi is not the only SoC, merely the best-known.
I'd earn anyone thinking of buying a Pi for a home server: ARM is widely supported, but you might regret investing in arm32. Atom is a safer choice.
They don't supply PoE, mind.
I'm planning an ubiquiti deployment:
- 5-6x AP 6 Pro (haven't done survey yet)
- 1x TL-SG1016PE PoE switch (yuck, but cheap)
- 1x R86S running opnsense and docker VMs, with unifi controller and pihole in docker
The R86S is the same price as the dream machine, but good luck running pihole on the DM.
I considered Mikrotik, but my mum would have to call me every time there was an issue, and it would only be marginally cheaper. I expect any competent local tech to be able to support unifi and opnsense.
There are many similar. The best is GoWin R86S
...or MIPS...
Great boast for privacy. Removes a lot of attack surface that law could exploit. And potentially reduces running costs, too.
Glad to hear you're building the kernel too.
