An easy out of the box solution would be a synology NAS.

but there is a harsh reality I think netizens of the fediverse need to acknowledge that will keep the majority of Facebook users locked in.

Would that be a bad thing?

and I tend to block anyone who makes their political ideology their entire identity.

Well put :)

For HW I personally use a NUC. If I were to build something today within said budget, I’d go for a second hand thin client.

For example the Thinkcentre M720q Tiny I can buy for 225EUR, coming with 8th gen core i5, 8GiB RAM, 256GiB SSD (1). Idle consumption is around 5W.

I use syncthing to sync folders between phone, tablet, desktop and my home server (a NUC).

Then rsync on a schedule from the server to a second off-site server (also a NUC) as backup, connected through zerotier.

I know of truenas, which is a more NAS like solution, but haven’t personally used that.

I use Feedbro, a firefox addon

Would love to learn if it exists too. I use it often.

The only other way I know how to CAD is https://github.com/pythonscad/pythonscad

Keep wordpress up-to-date, and keep the number of plugins you use to a minimum.

Also falls back to hardcoded IPs when DNS fails

Take a look at “Rethink: DNS + firewall + VPN”. It is available through FDroid

On all networks, or just when on your home network?
