This NYT’s article is missing some additional key info.
China has set up alternate agreements to help supply them with soybeans:

If you want my 2 cents, I think the new Administration’s trade policies and goals are not very well thought out.
Here is what I have on a cheap tower server:
When I spin up VMs, they are on the internal NVMe zpool. They are backed up to the external NVMe.
I have performed disaster recovery of my Jellyfin VM and other VMs from the external NVMe to internal NVMe. When the server dies, I can fix it or buy a new server and restore the VMs from the external NVMe.
Hope this helps!
