Security from what? Get a threat model.

A NAT will restrict connections from the internet, but won’t stop attacks from your local network. As your network grows, it might be a good idea to isolate shitty IOT devices (firmware is often full of holes), home internet and sensitive devices like cameras.

Oh so that’s why you can’t buy them anymore, people are using them as microcontrollers.

For alerts I just have the server directly send email over SMTP to my address, no service needed. You could implement DKIM with such a setup if you wanted to.

Thinbox: new laptop that is thiner then kittybox.

Tallbox: desktop

Tinybox: BeagleBone black single board computer acting as server

Still the same situation, high demand, low production capacity, part shortages. Try finding an alternative SBC.

Personally I really like the BeagleBone black (https://beagleboard.org/black), because it has integrated flash (no more rummaging for a micro SD card), and lets you ssh over USB. (no more debugging network connectivity, or searching for a unused monitor). It still can boot from a micro SD or USB drive, so if the flash breaks (or gets bricked) it’s easy fixable. The best part is no USB Mini-B connectors that break after ten uses. (Those things are cancer, they are absolutely awful and everywhere)

One thing to be aware of with them is the lack of on board WiFi, so if you need that make sure to get a USB WiFi radio.

The single biggest improvement from here is to increase the contrast so the text is readable. https://contrastrebellion.com/

Considering how overloaded lemmy.world is right now, a pi in someone’s basement would be better, and besides, centralization is bad. Federation is what prevents lemmy from becoming the next Twitter.
