+1 for radicale, I’ve been using it for several years now and have barely had to give it any attention at all.

Same reason why blowing on your hand close to your mouth is warm, but farther away is cool.
+1 for healthchecks.io, and I also use ntfy.sh so every morning I can wake up to a warm, fuzzy, “backup successful” notification.
Docker and docker-compose are nice because every service you want to run follows the same basic pattern. You don’t need much documentation beyond the project docs and the compose files themselves
Edit: caddyserver can do automatic certs, even behind a firewall if you set up the api call method. Varies by registrar
Use any old computer you have lying around as a server. Use Tailscale to connect to it, and don’t open any ports in your home firewall. Congrats, you’re self-hosting and your risk is minimal.
DDG for me, but mostly I use !wi and !gh. Pretty rare to do a rawdog search

First I’d ask if you need to open ports at all - if this is only for your family’s use then Tailscale or one of its alternatives can accomplish the same goal without opening ports in your firewall or worrying about security flaws in your hosted services.
If it’s for public use, maybe consider cloudflare tunnel?
Personally I use miniflux, which has been amazing. It offers the fever and Google reader APIs, which many phone apps can talk to which means the UI can be almost whatever you want (I’m using reeder on iOS)
It supports all the feed formats, but for sites that don’t offer a feed you’ll need some other solution like kill-the-newsletter.com
That’s fair, but I’ll point out that eating is sort of a subscription model.
Open source software maintainers, thanklessly (and often without pay) maintaining infrastructure without which the global economy would collapse immediately
I know nothing about this person, but on multiple occasions I’ve had the thought that if I was a gazillionaire, I’d sponsor a bunch of open source. Maybe this is that? I’ll choose to stay hopeful (though I’m kinda dumb about this sorta stuff)
Your quoted paragraph is the only sane alternative to the ad supported internet. Think Fastmail vs gmail - both are run for a profit, but fastmail’s business model is to simply sell subscriptions. Their incentives are better aligned with the consumer, and while nobody’s going to become a billionaire off the company I have to imagine that they have a very reliable customer base.
Good software should be paid for, devs gotta eat
My advice is to just use Tailscale. It’s a 5 minute setup and you get access to your stuff from anywhere, securely, without opening ports to the public internet. It will give your server a second IP address, which you will be able to access from any other device which is also registered to your Tailscale account.
My personal setup:
It has extreme sentimental value
While you’re in the security line, take all your shit out of your pockets and put it in your carry-on. Same for your belt.
Payroll pretty much always costs more than hosting. Update frequency and quality is a far more useful consideration
Encryption has very little overhead; modern CPUs have hardware acceleration for all the common algorithms. What are you doing that’s so performance constrained you can’t tolerate even that?
Related question: is there a product that can tell me if my door is locked or not? I’m not interested in a lock that is capable of unlocking itself, but I want to make HASS routines that remind me to lock the door.
