Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Here's my beautiful unemployed-for-too-long-have-no-money-dont-care-about-looks lab :)
Hey it's more than good enough to run all this ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, I have no experience with the accessibility side of this, so I cannot tell. At least now. If I’d explore the topic, I might recommend something at some later point.
I have a MacBook Air 11” from 2010, with a broken screen. I plan to utilise it as a server, but it’s not really good in that department. I do that purely because of the experiment, plus I have it lying around anyway, so why not. If you want, I can link a blog post about the laptop, when I’d write it. (May not be very soon, say, weeks. If no months. No ETA. I played with it for a while and put it off for later.)
The time capsule, is it a router? I have an AirPort Extreme router at home, I still use it. It’s a decent router, if you don’t need anything too special. I have no idea how good that is accessibility wise. I believe Apple products are the best at it, so I’d rather recommend macOS, I have no idea how bad that is with Linux. I remember the relatively recent series of posts about it, I bet you know them better.
