Screw the scalpers. Here's my poor man's fix. Instead of paying an exorbitant price of an used RPi4 in local ads. I spent a bit more and bought a used normal motherboard with modern CPU i5-11400. Granted the power consumption is 30W idle. Maybe 4x compared to RPi4. But the machine is quiet, much more powerful, easy to service. Can install Proxmox which allow to install many more apps compared to a Rpi.

Don't buy scalped RPi. You can get an N100 mini PC with case, storage and more memory that is 45% faster for less than any inflated price.
