So gist of this is, of they are not some random people hiding, but there’s a real company to -presumably- reap in some ad money or subscription money for their StalkerPlus product.or something, it takes a single determined EU citizen to fuck them up.

Fun fact, the GDPR applies to entities outside the EU, if they sell to EU, or they handle EU citizen data.

I recommend Halo clear switches. they are slightly less noisy than browns, but the real beauty is, after the tactile activation they become “harder” (i.e. more force needed to push further down).

It’s an excellent way of training yourself out of bottoming out.

Don’t forget smallpox! (Polio still has pockets where it lives, but no longer a threat to general world population)

I have been using porkbun.com as a domain registrar.

For email hosting, self-hosting is a lot of effort. If you just want the damned thing to work. I’ve heard good things about Fastmail, and personally I’m using migadu.com. it’s $19/year for micro.

Use any imap client, or if you want to keep using what you’re using Gmail and Outlook and Apple mail apps w all support your new personal account over imap as well

What kind of limitation did you run into? Lack of packages or speed?

6GB is more than enough for many desktop environments. Plus, a server wouldn’t have any anyway. not booting the Ubuntu installer seems like a bug, or other non-resource problem. if you try with a newer installer, or some other distro, that computer can host many things.

it seems antennapod recently got the play state sync feature using gpoddersync.

ZFS has a “copies=N” setting, but documentation and discussion I can find say there’s no guarantee that the copies will end up on different devices (vdevs in ZFS parlance)

You can use Snikket with other servers too, there is no restriction or special sauce. It’s mostly a fork of Conversations.

in addition to “dedicated Nas + compute node” and “just use a desktop” suggestions, there’s the microserver option in between. Small, but has enough power to run stuff other than storage.

Hp proliant microserver is what I use, you can try getting a previous generation from second hand market.

“underpowered” routers are usually underpowered for multiple high bandwidth wireless connections. if you disable the wireless, shoving bits over copper would -usually- be efficient enough to not be the bottleneck.

Did you consider keeping the services closed to the outside world and using tailscale to access them? Doesn’t work well if you want to give access to a bunch of people, though.
