I like using VMs for their predictable pricing. And docker-compose is easy enough to iterate with.

FreshRSS might be worth a look. Has most, if not all, of what you're looking for. The paywall ladder might require a plugin.

I’ve been paying for it for the last year or so. Whatever the mid level is. Part of the value is that I’m not reminded of what I filtered out—which is a double edged sword. But when I find myself on someone else’s device that defaults to Google or Bing, I do see the difference (again).

Presumably any CalDAV server would be sufficient. But I’m sure there are gotchas.

Have you checked out mice marketed for gaming? Particularly for MMOs, you’ll find a few 10+ button mice. I’ve been a happy user of Logitech’s line up, for what it’s worth.

I use Digital Ocean's App Platform which has free hosting for 3 static sites. CD is setup through integrations with GH/GL/BB, if I recall correctly. No particular reason why I chose this, other than I had a DO account open already for a few latent domains. It's proven to be simple enough & batteries included.

The only consistent ones for me are TrueNAS and FreshRSS. Other apps haven't lasted as long in my network.
