I genuinely have multiple friends who use that word about themselves. It isn’t negative unless people perceive so.

Handicapped people might disagree
I would just have Postgres running statically on some solid hardware. It’s easy to configure permissions and connections, too.
Not too hard to set up streaming replication for a hot standby if you wanna be sure (or offload some reads).

This was how reddit was meant to be. Now every opinion the hive mind disagrees with gets downvoted to hell.
