When I was a wee lad working at my first real engineering job in nuclear
power, my boss had me sit down and figure out what my actual self-cost
was as my very first job for him. I came up with a number like
$22/hour. He then showed me what my actual overhead number was, and it
came out to like $58 for the company and he told me that the company
would be billing me out at over $100. I was astonished. So it's an
exercise I still do. Now I am at about $95 all up cost. Much of the
work I do is at a loss against that, but I make it up in bulk, LOL.
But the time value of money is more like $450 right now. The hours
left in life are getting shorter, bank assets are getting longer.
Spend more time on fun than work.

You sound exactly like I sounded 15 years ago. The more stuff I have
to deal with every day, the more I'm ok with outsourcing some of my
troubles to someone else.
I just paid a guy $800 to replace an exhaust inducer in my furnace. I
know that inducer is $99 and goes in with 4 screws and a hose clamp,
but it's more worth my time to let someone else take care of it so I
can do something else. Same goes for Preseem vs the $300 Linux box.
I'm not knocking your method. There's a point in the business cycle
where there's more time than there is cash, and it will make sense to
do some more DIY things. I'm just saying the Preseem thing has value
too.

I’m getting spammed like every day with the Preseem guys selling what
seem like expensive hacks of fq_codel to reduce bufferbloat. Is there
anything else interesting about their technology besides deploying
open source implementation of fq_codel or CAKE on commodity hardware,
which we already do to great effect on a $300 single board Linux box
with a few ports? I guess they have a pretty dashboard, anyhing other
than that?
