If you don't need much storage internally, I like lots of a Celeron based industrial SSF from qotom. For rack mounts, i like used Xeon-D U1-2 servers.

If I need bigger processing power for home, I like Ryzen (preferably 3000 or newer) processors in some of few ryzen entry-level server boards.

People need to realize that using services like Reddit isn't a freedom, it is a privilege. Their servers, their rules.

People need to not accept services with a single point of failure, like a company. Time and time again, we have seen failure or degradation of services by companies. Ex. Twitter, Reddit, Yahoo. Twitch and Discord are heading the same way too.

People if people want to be free from these antics, we need to teach companies we won't accept data silos. We want and NEED decentralized federated services.

If you want x86-64 support in fanless, take a look at Celeron (low powered) based industrial PCs. Qotom comes to mind. You can get a passively cooled machine. Most come with a NVMe and 2.5 slot for storage, do doing raid 1 is possible without external storage. I've bern running my J1900 based one for nearly 5 years and haven't had an issue with hardware at all.
