Installing Linux on most hardware became really easy maybe 5 years ago.

Gnome works quite well on a larger touch-screen. Edit: ah, Ubuntu should have that by default.
Lead acid can boil over and fill a badly ventilated room with flammable hydrogen and other toxic gasses.
A well maintained LiFePO4 battery that some modern UPS use it probably less risky, but I think the risk for both is very low.
There is a special .iso archive for all past releases.
Yes, don’t expose Windows to the internet 😒
https://opnsense.org/ is a good system if you want an easy to install and open-source firewall.
Edit: no need to buy their official hardware. Any x86 system with two network ports will do.
When you are actively charging the batteries off a solar panel for example, it will be even higher, up to 17V 14.5V or so I think. The automotive PicoPSUs only cost a little more and will smooth it out up to 24V I think… there are even some models that go up to 48V.
Edit: why the down-votes? Is this incorrect?
Some people want to be able to reach their server via SSH when they are not at home, but yes I agree in general that is not necessary when running a real home server.
Get a PicoPSU for automotive use (there are two varieties, one that needs stable 12v and another that can run directly off a battery with varying voltage).
Don’t leave SSH on port 22 open as there are a lot of crawlers for that, otherwise I really can’t say I share your experience, and I have been self-hosting for years.
If you can install a second gigabit NIC into the optiplex it can work very nicely with OPNSense as the main gateway. Then you can connect the LAN side to a simple un-managed switch and branch out to anything further from there.
Edit: OpenWRT is a bit of a pain to manage on x86, so I would try to avoid it for that.
This is nonsense. A small static website is not going to be hacked or DDOSd. You can run it off a cheap ARM single board computer on your desk, no problem at all.
I think the term often used is “NAT reflection”.
Power-line tends to be quite slow and error prone. If you have existing coax, that is likely the better option. You can get up to 2.5gbit adapters for it: https://til.simonwillison.net/networking/ethernet-over-coaxial-cable
Systemd is very useful for managing (rootless) Podman containers.

Hmm, I think there are more people that are #1 and #2 the same time (not me though) and the bigger divide is between those that rent a VPS and those that run a homelab.
Usually* there is a database for the file meta-data that will benefit from faster access times of a SSD, the files themselves can be on a HDD.
*not sure how Immich specifically does it.
There must be something wrong with your browser. There are multiple big screenshots in a slider on https://movim.eu
And the unrestricted instances on the join page can be used with any xmpp account, however I don’t recommend it as servers running Prosody currently only support a subset of Movim’s features.
There are literally multiple big screenshots on the page I linked and a big join button that brings you to https://join.movim.eu where you can chose an instance.
Nothing specifically, just nice improvements cumulating over the years.
