Is a Pentium powerful enough? I recently found a YouTube channel called “Wolfgang’s Channel” and he also has a home server with a Pentium. He says it is plenty enough for these kind of tasks.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Every Intel N100-based machine costs ~200€ on Amazon.

but the SD cards don’t last long

This is what scares me the most. Ideally, I want a whole SSD to store data. I really don’t want to lose any important data. I plan on hosting public services (like the services I’ve mentioned above) under my domain, so having a reliable drive would be really helpful.

I’ve never heard of Intel N100 before, what’s that? Just so you know, a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 Gigabytes of RAM costs ~90€ in my country (Germany). I wouldn’t really count that as overpriced. Could you show me some machine examples with Intel N100?

Njalla doesn’t seem to be a good option according to this comment on a privacy-focused forum.

What kind of TLD did you buy? Did you choose a TLD that’s supported by the WHOIS privacy? I wanted to see if alexpewmaster.de was available, and it told me this:

⚠️   PRIVACY WARNING ⚠️

This TLD does not allow WHOIS privacy but generally redacts your personal information. This means that your personal contact information will be sent to the registry but it should not be made public.

I want my private information to be hidden in Whois requests. Also, I don’t want to buy a domain from a registrar that seems very sketchy.

What is Portainer? You’ve said that it’s a web UI, but what exactly does it provide you with?

I love how it says “Restaurants” but then displays an image with ice cream, makes a lot of sense 👍

Congratulations, you are now being put on a watchlist!
