God knows what they'd have flagged. I was trying to sign up to sendgrid's free tier to test their SMTP server and got instabanned before I even got the verification email.

idk about others but at least with freedns you get 25 subdomains for free and obviously risk clashing names under the same shared domain.

freedns is good too but I ended up buying my own domain the other day for like 4 quid and now all my services get a much nicer name and unlimited DNS records

Ahhh I get you. Yeah this one just piggybacks off the spotify radio feature I think

Oh nice, didnt know you could HW accel immich. I havent tried immich yet but im getting v tempted!

Going the dGPU is a good idea though, I gotta get in on that eventually.

You can do the same on github too. It's pretty seamless in my experience and I dont mind people seeing the source code for my blog

You might wanna check out spotube, which uses the spotify API for playlists but plays tracks through Youtube. Might be useful for inspo

Cant answer for them, but if you use dietpi they have use the debian package set up with scripts to pull dependencies like a webserver and database automatically. It was very painless in my experience.

I'm currently using an i5 9500 and it runs good here too.

Note for OP though: If you don't need/want transcoding it'd be way cheaper to get an equivalent AMD CPU just because motherboards are hilariously expensive for an obsolete platform.

I used a RaspberryPi 4B for about 3 years. I connected storage over USB-3 to a pair of SATA SSDs. It handled everything pretty much flawlessly for two users and half a dozen devices. We even had multiple users on Plex. dietpi was brilliant for my first home server :).

Initial uploads may be slow depending on your storage layout but in my experience the requirements are super low.

In terms of pricing, I find Hetzner is best for under 1TB, Backblaze for over 1TB. Both have great documentation for setting up any number of backup methods (SFTP, SSH, Rsync, Rclone, Borg, etc).

Rsync, Rclone, and Borg are all good options and some may be built into your choice of OS if you use a dedicated NAS system. Choose whatever is easiest for you.

The backups are gonna be encrypted in transit regardless of method, and Im pretty sure most backup providers encrypt data on their servers so you dont have to manage that I dont think.

When you commit to backups, IMO you should do them daily - Most backup clients have options for "sync" options which will ignore unchanged files and only upload changes, so a daily backup is not only more up-to-date but also more efficient once the first backup completes.
