Thanks for the tips and your measurements!

I have previously tried selfhosting searX with varying results
I know of protectli, but I wouldn’t consider it a low-budget option. I mean it is reasonably cheap, but I was hoping I could get away with some much cheaper used hardware.
Thanks, never heard of Zimaboard, sounds interesting
Thanks for these insights! Gigabit is of secondary priority at the moment, just a nice to have. Maybe in the future I would break things up even more and have a dedicated firewall with minimal resources, then this machine I am planning on getting now would be a dedicated OpenBSD based server for proxying, load balancing, etc (basically everything I can do easily on OpenBSD without docker) and finally I would also have a stronger box for several docker services.
Wouldn’t there generally be a significant power draw difference between an SFF and a smaller (micro, mini, SBC…) machine?
Thanks, I haven’t considered ThinkCentres much yet. I should have mentioned that I am located in Central Europe, so I am a bit more limited on options where I can get hardware. I am a bit worried about shipping costs when ordering from abroad.
I found an offer for an M700 tiny with an i5-6500T, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and an SSD included, for €120. Is that in a similar ballpark as the M720q you mentioned?
Honestly, I don’t think I am likely to find 8th gen i5 boxes in my area (haven’t seen any adverts so far).
I have used mailbox.org before migrating to my own server. Pretty solid.

I like my Chemex. Saving up to buy a used Gaggia classic
What is the machine on the left?
Mapping with this app is a lot of fun! Sometimes I just go for a walk and open up StreetComplete to see if I can add some small contributions, like the opening hours of some nearby establishment or whether a given entity is still at the location.
