I agree with this. You can get a lot of hardware for not a lot, especially if you build your own.
If money's not that tight, another option is a modern NAS that can run services and Docker. Depends on what you want to do with it in the long term: file server vs All The Services.
A few years ago it was time to replace my ancient NAS and I was tossing up between building a dedicated server with something like TrueNAS and Nextcloud, or opting for a QNAP or Synology that could do it all for me. Opted for a Synology DS920+ and haven't looked back. It can't do anything processor-intensive, but it nails it for everything else. I have ~30 Docker stacks running on it, including Wireguard, and SWAG for SSL+MFA external services. Synology Drive (GDrive) and Photos (GPhotos/Picasa) on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android and iOS let me ditch the last of my cloud services. It's also running Plex Media Server, tying into an Nvidia ShieldTV as the client.
I've been running it in Docker for a few months without serious issue. The only problem I've seen is website with embedded YT videos and it not liking mixed HTTPS (site) and HTTP (my instance) on the same page, but that's a CSP issue that can be worked around, depending on your browser or whether you run HTTPS on your network.
I'm using the quay.io/invidious/invidious:latest and docker.io/library/postgres:14 images and a docker-compose based on this one. The main difference I made was to use a real database directory rather than using a dynamic volume. But other than that, it's pretty unchanged.
ESO, Guild Wars 2 - or even Final Fantasy XIV, Genshin Impact or WarFrame - will provide an interesting world, lore, objectives, opportunities for group and co-op play (or PvP if that’s her thing; she might not know it yet).
Girl+noob doesn’t have to mean farming/building games. Unless, again, she realises it’s her thing.
And outfit fashion is the True End Game™️ for so many online games. Warframe calls it FashionFrame. 😄
Think of the problem being solved. The Fediverse solves multiple problems, but most notably ensuring that our contributions won't be paywalled by some corporate grifter. The post and comment data itself is free and open, subject only to TOS and regional legislation.
If you consider your conversations valuable, stick with something like secure messaging application groups. And then hope nobody in that group does what you imagine in your second point.
I don't necessarily disagree, but Reddit wasn't all OC at the start, either.
I guess now there are so many social media sites now that some people spend all their time, to paraphrase Cory Doctorow, cross-posting between 5 sites for Internet points or to build a following. It sucks, but plugging away posting OC will build it up over time.
For those unaware, your thesis concept is also known as BLUF: Bottom-Line Up Front. Take a moment after you've finished your masterpiece to summarise it at the top in one sentence, or two at most.
A tl;dr at the end of a post also works, but only for those who think to check for it. But either option works.
I've been using Power Delete Suite for years. It runs as a browser bookmark, so doesn't need API, etc. I've got it deleting everything older than 3 months each time I run it.
