Won't be able to do much, and even if you can do some stuff you have to keep on mind that the energy efficiency would be poor enough that you'd still be better off with a cheap pi from a cost perspective.

Really good point. Is a Pi recommendable for selfhosting?

  It’s OK, but I’d suggest:
  
  Atom > arm64 > arm32
  
  Look for a NUC - they’re designed for desktop use, so they have more poke than a Pi. The N6005 CPU is a good choice, the N5105 is ok. These are x64, so you’ll have the widest range of packages. 4GB will do, if its upgradeable later. NUCs usually take SODIMMs, which you can pick up on ebay for peanuts.

    It was slow to boot and slow over ssh.
    
    I found that booting and connecting over SSH went way faster once I got a better SD card. Running an install script that took half an hour was down to just a couple minutes

    Hmm. I run mine off a usb3 ssd and it’s faster, but still slow.
