it’s just me that’s going to be using whatever it is, i plan to host a Nextcloud, probably a Matrix server using Synapse, a website, and email. i have an Ethernet cable ready to go, but i’m using someone else’s internet at the moment (with their knowledge and approval).
i’ve been looking at Pine64 SBCs, but i’m open to anything as long as it’s not a Raspberry Pi

Anything goes. Laptops, servers, workstations… I run my media homeland on a refurbished Lenovo thin pc.
@audricd @salarua I second this. If you’re starting, an unused computer (laptop, desktop, raspberry pi or other single board computer, whatever) you already have is perfect. Or an old computer a friend gives you, or eventually a cheap second hand computer.
You can do A LOT with very little computing resourcesAgreed! Don’t spend at first. Reuse an old computer. See if you like doing this!
For the most part, yes. Some things, like SIEMs, IDPSs, machine learning (GPT, Stable Diffusion, etc.), and other such processing-heavy things should be taken into consideration and “fed” properly.
I don’t recommend hosting your own email server, as it’s very labor-intensive to keep your emails out of people’s spam folders.
May I ask, why not an rPi? Is it because of the unreasonable prices?

i’m not going to use this email server for real-name business, and i’ll likely only be emailing people who contact me first. that said…good point

ideological differences, i guess. i used to trust them right up until they hired that surveillance professional and shut down everyone who told them that that was a bad idea
That’s a good point about rPi. I haven’t purchased any since the rPi 3b days, but I do keep reusing them.

How about an ASUS Mini PC PN51 with Ryzen 7 cpu, running Proxmox virtualizer?
I bought a 2nd hand laptop from ebay for less than $60. 8gb ram, 250gb SDD to which I added a 2TB external drive I had. It was cheap as the screen was broken and the battery wouldn’t hold a charge, both of which things are irrelevant for yunohost. Runs VPN client, Ampache, NextCloud, WordPress and GOGS with zero problems.
