I'm using a rpi4/8GB as a sshd bastion host, for running poudriere
building packages [1] for less-powered pi(e)s, and is the place where
I use email (mutt). It's the only local machine I run 24/7. After
much tweaking and optimisation, I have found it very stable [2]. It runs
recent -current and the kernel/world has debugging turned off.

[1] this runs daily. I've seen loads in top of over 10 and it doesn't 
miss a beat. Has FLIRC case for cooling, no fan. Max cpu temps ive 
seen have been 70 degC but that was at 28 degC ambient. It has a 1TB
spinning rust attached via powered usb3 bus.

[2] stability required for its primary purpose
