If you self host and also write some of your own services, the same requirements are as they always were.

minimal ~ < $100 hardware (Dell, Acer etc mini or ssf pc)

install your linux distro, use your preferred containers, or just run as services on the os.

There's no ads, no ai, no layer of shite, it can't be "enshittified" unless you're doing the shittifying.
