    What hardware does not run on 12 V?

    Define ultra low power. Given the 10 TB + mirror (why?) I assume at least 2 HDDs have to spin. So at least 20 W total? I mean they can spin down, but leaving the system on 24/7 seems a bit far fetched, even if it only consumes 1 watt (0.1 A load, 2.4 Ah per day).

    A Rust program written last year already looks outdated, whereas a C program written ten years ago has pretty good odds of being just fine. Systems programmers don’t want shiny things - we just want things that work.

    So if that is all you want, who cares if there are some new features? They absolutely not make it look outdated. If they are crucial you want to implement them in any case.

    rewriting an entire program from scratch is always going to introduce more bugs than maintaining the C program ever would. I don’t care what language you rewrite it in.

    This also seems odd. If the program changed a lot, a lot had to be frankensteined into it. Maintaining that is a fucking mess with tons of bugs. Rewriting can make it so much easier.
