A developer shares real hosting costs for openclaw: after switching from a VPS, a Mac mini with 10-20GB RAM was actually cheaper over a year, offers nice Apple-ecosystem features, and can be resold at cost. A reply suggests an alternative: host on any VPS, connect via Tailscale for computer use — no Mini needed.
