If you can't censor it easily, it's "controversial".

Also opnsense, but on thin client.

"about to become" my ass.
I hear you, but Proxmox does a great many more things than just run containers. Admittedly, many selfhosters won't need these.
It's a NUC so sufficiently poweful. Proxmox isn't fat by any means. If you run your stuff in containers then Proxmox (I aways install it on top of Debian) is your hypervisor is your base system. You typically don't install stuff on your hypervisor, though I do some very select things.

The small drones do not require a long range use, since you are going to detect them only late, and need to terminate them within few seconds.
I have seen an improvised optics on a Youtube channel where a 2 kW continuous operation fiber laser had enough energy flux at 100 m or farther.
The point of modern deep learning approaches is that they're extremely easy on the developer skill. Decades ago realtime machine vision needed a machine vision expert, these days you throw the hardware at the problem at learning stage, and embedded devices to run the results are stupidly powerful (doesn't even take a Jetson board), if you compare to what has been available even a decade ago.
Realtime person detection and following it with a drone? Difficult for me, certainly, but there are enough people out there who have done it.
