VPN would still work for iPhone I imagine. Small whitelist of DNS would do 90%+ of the job.

Using the igpu might be problematic for transcoding if you need that. I'd recommend older intel / Asus NUCs if you want a mini PC. 3 year warranty, built for Enterprise, tall version has room for a 7mm tall sata SSD or HDD along with nvme m.2 SSD.
I think if you do Asus 12gen + they have another m.2 slot though it is the smaller one 2242. Doing all this you can upgrade it to 64GB RAM, 8TB m.2 2280, 8TB SATA SSSD, and 1TB M.2 2242. In homelab especially with mini PCs the limit is usually RAM / storage rather than CPU.
I got 4 11th gen with 64 GB RAM each and 32TB of SSD storage. I recommend avoiding QLC SSD as much as possible. Aim for TLC , MLC, or SLC. Higher storage capacity tends to be QLC or TLC, QLC has shortest endurance and slowest speeds.
With a password manager I'd argue its better but supports still not all there yet. I am waiting on bitwarden right now to support mull, basically its blacklisted, but it was added in the last 2 weeks so now its a waiting game.
I think something like this would do? You can search the list of supported devices there. Search by exposes power.
Forgejo supports a ton of repos including docker / OCI images.
Yeah works good until its under load which federation does have. Matrix and Lemmy both got like 20GB of RAM dedicated to the database on my servers.
There are postgres settings to reduce disk writes. There's a max size and a timeout to write to disk. By default these values are on the lower end I believe.
NUCs are where to go. Intel chips good for transcoding and 3 year warranty. Had 1 die out of 3 die in 4 months and got a full replacement. Got another so I'm running 4 now and been about a year. Running tons of stuff and measured power to about $2.5/mo/pc.
Ah yeah it sucks to host on your actual computer, especially if you are using the laptop portably. I just wanted to point out storage isn't too bad if setup right. Best of luck finding a good host for your needs!
Curious here how is storage an issue? Lemmy is 90% text and if you do the proxy for pictures its like 10%. If you use pictures from elsewhere and don't use pictures it's all text. I have had lemmy hosted for over a year now and it's using under 35GB. I have a not that subscribes to top posts on larger instances so I should have a lot of communities loaded.
Edit: oh yeah Pictrs integrates with S3 api now so you can offload image storage to cloud for pennies.
I believe this is one of those Google "F it I am going to make this protocol my own way without anyone else's input" which results in security concerns and also Mozilla prioritizes it being a browser more.
Searching serial looks like this is still the case. There are security and privacy concerns over it.

I went with actual NUCs since they have 3 year manufscturers warannty. I had to replace one if the first 3 months already. Mine are NUC 11s but they appear out of stock on amazon now, for the varebones $400. Next time I am thinking NUC 13 pro tall since it also has another slot for storage as well.
Edit for additional Ethernet would have to use thunderbolt port which itself supports something like 30-40 GB/s. That or there are lid / exansions depending on the model.
