Using Raspberrian Bookworm, input connection is through an ethernet cable and the hostpot was set up through Pi-Apps’ hotspot tool and is using WSA2 and password, but nothing else to note.
Not much info I could find through articles online.
A main thing to worry about is that the SD card can stop working at any time for no reason.
