I use Nextcloud for contacts, calendars, files, bookmarks, passwords, to do lists, Kanban boards, and recipies. You absolutely can turn nextcloud into a 365 competitor if that's your jam
You might want to set up dynamic DNS for your domain. If you're hosting from a residential internet connection then your ISP will change your address eventually. Ddclient can be used to report your current IP to your Registrar regularly, so if it changes the domain moves along with it.
Rather than give you specific recommendations, here's some guidance for parts
Mobo: The more slots you have for RAM and storage, the better.
CPU: literally anything. More cores and faster cores are ideal, but CPU requirements for these things are generally lower than a desktop.
RAM: Buy 1 stick of the fastest and highest capacity RAM your motherboard can handle. When you're ready or you start to see slowdown, buy another of the same stick. You can get far on 16-32GB, you won't need much more until later.
Storage: an SSD for the OS and one or more HDDs for storage.
PSU: generally anything in the 500-700 range will be good. You'll want more if you plan to put a GPU in, though.
It got a big boost when Mozilla updated their ToS a couple months ago to say they could use your browser data to train their AI.
Well, it's not that they said they would, it's that they updated their terms so that they could if they wanted to. For some (myself included) that was enough.
They got bought by a German game developer, Gunzilla Games.

I've been using 10 LTSC for a few months now, it works great with the few Windows-only apps I still use. I mainly use it to organize my media library, but it's not had any problems with the few games I've installed with Kernel-level anti-cheat (Destiny 2, Delta Force)
I had to download the Xbox Accessories app to control my Elite controller, but that's really it.
The slippery slope that projects taking this approach fall into boils down to 'let's put all our new features behind a business version and never add them to the community version until they become 2 totally different code bases'
PA resident here. Shapiro is as left as left gets these days without being actively snuffed by the Democratic establishment, so naturally the right sees him as a plant for the deep state or whatever they're calling 'the ones we don't like' these days. Republicans have a healthy majority in State Congress here after the 2024 elections, and they are towing the party line and implementing Project 2025 despite resistance from constituents and the Governor.
Shout-out to Senator Doug "Literal Insurrectionist Traitor" Mastriano for being an all-around piece of shit, by the way.
Either way, this is a physical attack on the current political minority. Combine that with the timing (the first night of Passover), this has all the signs of an act of domestic terrorism.
The fact they're not using that word right now, either they're being abundantly cautious and just not ready to confirm that yet, or they are trying minimize the story because of who was involved and/or why it happened in the first place.
You mean Military Operation Censorship? Or have we dropped that pretense?
