	tl;dr: A $10 OpenStick (4-core ARM Cortex-A53, 512MB RAM, 4GB eMMC) runs Debian and makes a surprisingly capable silent, low-power home server. The author hosts a stack of lightweight self-hosted services on it, including AdGuard Home for DNS blocking, Cloudflare Tunnel for exposure, Beszel/Dozzle/Gatus for monitoring, Shiori for bookmarks, Fusion for RSS, and an AI agent harness (Zeroclaw) accessible via Telegram for remote server checks.
	HN Discussion: ↑Nostalgic comparison noting modern cheap hardware matches past professional server capabilities ↑Enthusiasm for lightweight self-hosting and curiosity about related/alternative software stacks ↓Concern about security risks of giving an always-on LLM root shell access •Interest in hardware variations, form factors, and where to purchase similar devices ↑Agreement that modest RAM suffices if software is chosen carefully
