You‘re absolutely right. Trying for a more healthy and balanced diet is obviously the way to go. Seasonal and local sources are a perfect goal, also when it comes to the carbon footprint of your lifestyle.

For the vast majority of people out there, reducing their meat consumption is the first apparent issue to tackle.

I do agree with the many benefits of less meat: the ecological standpoint, the nutritional value, the animal wellbeing, the cost…

The key difference is that my conclusion don’t reach as far as yours seam to do.

Yet our bodies have barely evolved over the last tens of thousands of years. In that regard equal health of all options is a very bold claim. Just as a vegan dog is not a healthy dog, many of the replacements you mention seem insufficient to me.

I found that for my use case (jellyfin, gitea, portainer, nextcloud, adguard, …) the pis are still nearly idle but the bottleneck for me was ram. Anyone with similar experience?

I feel you. I don’t know your usecase for photoprism, but do you know immich? https://immich.app
