LinkedIn post: the $30k box nobody could sign (build-in-public)

[Fameruler]

Add a personal build-in-public post to linkedin-posts/personal/.

• lane: personal, pillar: build-in-public, voice: personal-first-person, first_comment: no link (pure value, 70% mix).
• Reframes the on-prem AI capex blocker (client froze on a $30-40k GPU box) into a 2-week pilot on rented EU bare-metal GPU, then a monthly managed retainer. One committed idea, plain English, no banned words, stat sourced to Hetzner GEX131 (~EUR 2,398/mo for Opus-5-class).
• status: draft, stage: next, proposed_for 2026-09-03.

Note: bin/rake test:links not run locally (no ruby env); no external links in body - CI link-check should pass trivially.
