ECC everything?

Yes. And most server hardware is already at least ECC ram. You may still want some light radiation shielding to prevent the worst, maybe some heavier shielding for solar flares. But beyond that, simple error correction can be baked into the software - ecc the bootloader and filesystem and you are mostly good to go

Isn't ECC only applied to RAM? Do any current gen CPUs have ECC cache?
