Comment on Is there any privacy-friendly options for shared todo list services?

  I recommend you to take a look into Single Board Computers (SBCs) like Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Le Potato, Rock64, etc. They are very capable of hosting most things that ordinary people use, at the scale of a family. There are many guides online on how to make a personal VPN of it, as well as host things directly on it like your own private file share and sync.

    Can confirm, as I’ve got my home assistant on a 6 year old raspberry pi 4. it is just sitting in a closet, not even on ethernet i’ll admit that i do have a router with openwrt, and that made it super easy to set up a wireguard server

    I do have an old mini-pc with an AMD A10 in it. Do you think that might work? If so, what sort of software should I be running on it, since even with its current Kubuntu install, it really struggles to run YouTube.

      I’d recommend either Peppermint OS or Lubuntu as lightweight distros for an old laptop. There are many more distros that you can try out there, even without desktop environments (no graphical stuff, which saves a lot of resources), if you’re not into using your laptop for stuff outside of server-use. For that, Debian is the go-to imho. Just remember not to select any desktop environment during the installation process.

      Put some of the distros on a flash drive and try them out. Distro hopping can be fun :-)
