TBH, you need additional backups anyway and you don't need 100% uptime. You don't need to pay much for it for internal redundancy (aside of storage) and server features.

Buy the nuc, buy one or two 10GB HDD with usb/usb-c and an external case and your are good to go.

But in the end, any PC will work. Get a cheapo PC, buy 1 SSD for the os and container and a big external disk for storage.

I'm running a Ryzen 5 5600G with 32GB Ram, B450 Chipsets, 1TB SSD for internal and 2 4tb SSD for storage in a micro atx. Cost me around 1200€ bucks 2 years ago.

You can even use an old laptop with a broken panel if you like.

Another possibility is, to buy a cheap (old) server from some company renewing it's support contracts (loud, space, power hungry).

Or buy an fanless industrial pc. Anything is possible. You could even try to use arm.

I'd recommend to optimize for power consumption, noise (depending where it is located in your home) and storage. Not ECC or redundancy. as long as you do regular backups to another system, which you should do in any case, there is no reason to pay double for something.

First thing I bought after my system was running, was an additional nic, to be able to use the server as a firewall, not an UPS or another hot standby PSU

It was as obvious as I said not a simple "do as I say"

the os should do as i say, that includes breaking it if i please. the problem are people writing into the terminal "i understand that i uninstall half my os with this command but want to do it anyway" and then wonder why half their os gets uninstalled.

Nothing more convenient then a central "app store". apt search, apt install is all I need. But I undersntd that people don't like it, that don't know it.

What's convenient about googling for software, downloading ominous files and clicking through an install wizard and most likely installing some adware and unwanted search bars? It's crazy people see it like that.

Even the other posters in this thread are talking about flatpak and appimage. I'll never understand that way of thought.

What? That is easiest one of the worst parts of windows. It's just that people are used to this dumb endeavour

Holy shit, watching people die because a fucked up idiot in Russia feels like it is crazy.

Can't we use that accurate artillery to fuck up Putin?

What happened here? I thought this place was supposed to be better then Reddit?

Every popular post is negatively charged.

Every comment has an underpinning of hate.

Everything is spun with some time of agenda that feeds half truths to make it look like whole lies.

questions and statements like this are creating drama. block users and communities that you don't like and go with your day.

concern trolling: be the change you want to see, instead of creating even more drama

Your own nextcloud instance. Then move everything that is saved at Google over to your own server.

Calenders, Filesync, Contacts sync with android works really nice.

Knowing my data is stored only on my own devices and google doesn't know more about me than I do is a nice feeling.

I'm using it. Almost 200 servers at work. No problems whatsoever. I almost smile reading news like this, because it shows me I did the right thing betting on debian
