Your IP address will change. So you need dynamic DNS.
Your DNS will expire if you don't pay for it.
Your disk can fill up and have no more space to write.
The SSD will also wear out eventually, proportional to how much you write to it. Usually this comes from stuff like web servers that log requests combined with AI scrapers and search indexers that sometimes go nuts and send an unbounded # of requests.
You can check the health status of the disk with the `smartmontools` package `smartctl` command. Look for where it says "remaining lifetime %" or "wearout indicator %" or something like that.
But AFAIK, besides those things, death from old age is incredibly rare for computers. Most just keep on running long after they become obsolete (costs more to pay for electricity to run it than it would cost to get a new one that does the same job and uses less electricity)
Altho, who knows what will happen in the future -- we may have hit some sorta fundamental limits in terms of energy efficiency of computers.
I am a web technologist who is interested in supporting and building enjoyable ways for individuals, organizations, and communities to set up and maintain their own server infrastructure, including the hardware part.
I am currently working full time as an SRE 😫, but I am also heavily involved with Cyberia Computer Club and Layer Zero
