Yes, but I use the cloud for other purposes too and have enough storage for a backup, also even if I were to buy another drive, I would like to store one copy offsite without having to buy two drives

Can someone explain to me why lead HAS to come from another element? Why cant it just… exist?

Some addition to my post: The computer I found is a Fujitsu Esprimo Q957. I’ve read online that they are very power efficient and don’t draw as much. I will probably run some lightweight task almost 24/7 and sometimes heavier tasks for short periods of time. A raspberry pi is for me too expensive for the average specs, even if it is very efficient. I think a upgradable pc or mini pc is best, because they are cheap, but can be easily upgraded without buying a whole new computer.
