Hello, not OP but I can confirm after >10 years of doing it that hosting on reused portable hardware from a home connection is not just viable, it's cheap and stable. No issues with handling the HN frontpage here either

		Old laptops mainly. At some point an Asus EEE PC. Currently it's a 2012 laptop that I used as daily driver for five years
