  • I mean you can program on a potato, so what would be your programming need? Something specific you want to get into?

    Yes Hardware Firewalls exist, but those are primarily infrastructure and not part of a computer.

    If all you want to do is program on that rig, then maybe consider an integrated GPU solution so you don’t have to invest in a overpriced Graphics card.

    When you care about security and privacy you probably want to run a Linux distribution/BSD instead of Windows? Or do you want Apple (as then this discussion would be superfluous anyway)











  • My reason for self hosting is being in control of my shit, and not the cloud provider.

    I run jellyfin, soulseek, freshRSS, audiobookshelf and nextcloud. All of that on a pi 4 with an SSD attached and then accessible via wireguard. Also that sad is accessible as nfs share.

    As I had already known Linux very well before I’ve started my own cloud, I didn’t really had to learn much.

    The biggest resource I could recommend is that GitHub repository where a huge amount of awesomely selfhosted solutions are linked.
