That article is confusing. They claim you don’t need to worry, then they drop a sentence like this.
Even a worn-out SSD would still go a year without data loss, according to the original presentation, and that’s while being stored at 87 degrees Fahreneit the entire time
So which is it? If I have a SSD in a drawer I sure hope it will last more than 1 year.
Casaos is new. It is pretty similar to portainer. It is still a pretty frontend for debian targeted twards tinkerers.
The end goal is for ZimaOS to replace/supliment CasaOS which is intended to be a more direct competitor to Synology/QNAP software. ZimaOS will be the OS released on their ZimaCube Kickstarter
As others have mentioned there are competitors like Cosmos-server and Umbrel. CasaOS/ZimaOS has a pretty strong company behind it, so the chances it gets abandoned are low. Cosmos and Umbrel are more of a hobby of a few people that may or may not be around 5 years from now.

Or Cloudflare tunnels.
Yes it could, however the TDP on that chip is 95 watts. Depending on where you live that will cost you at-least $10 a month in power, probably more.
However you can find HP G3 EliteDesk 800 on ebay for $90 that will run circles around that computer and take less power. Take a look at this video to see how.

What do you mean the addresses are private? Are you double NAT-ed?
As others have mentioned, tailscale or Cloudflare tunnels can solve your problem
