Looking for a Practical Long‑Term Privacy Stack (Proton, AI, VPNs, Photos, etc.)

ImTooPhaT: > There are many viable hardware choices for self-hosting such as Raspberry Pi, NAS, mini-PC, or any old PC/laptop if you don’t want to buy new hardware (or you can buy them used). If you don’t have space for hardware, you can rent a VPS. With self-hosting, it’s more important to learn how to do so securely. I appreciate your reply! Are there Raspberry Pi devices considered the best hardware brand if user privacy and user security is the number one priority? What other brands do you recommend?
