Everything is just mitigations. There is no zero risk.

Speed Queen is still making dumb albeit electronic models. Bit pricey but solid. Or get yourself an old one off Craigslist and call someone to refurb it. Those will often outlast anything else.

A 4B is kind of the minimum for newer Librelec versions. Still cheap and fanless with a good heat sink case. I’ve learned recently about CEC and it works on my old Panasonic with Viera but I keep a little Bluetooth keyboard around too.

Yeah just walk through Costco and see the massive varieties of ready to eat stuff. But a ton of people here just eat out all the time too.

Home cooking. It is super easy and about 100x healthier. Don’t know how? Get the America’s Test Kitchen Best Skillet Recipes book. Lots of super easy things in there. Once you get in the habit you really only have to do it 3-4 times a week, and there are lots of frozen meals.
