Everything runs smoothly on a "Nanode" (Linode's version of a 5$/month VPS with 1GB RAM, 25GB SSD, 1 CPU)

Found the perfect combination for self-hosting my reading stack: Miniflux and Wallabag, you may now kiss!

I want to outline the tools I use to consume textual content, and why it perfectly fits my needs.

Doing an experiment with my RPi 4, using it as a small but powerful local server.

My current PC is a 10 year old Macbook Pro 13" 2010, which is sluggish sometimes.

Below you can read my findings about performance, applications and general issues I encountered and tried to solve.
