it's just me that's going to be using whatever it is, i plan to host a Nextcloud, probably a Matrix server using Synapse, a website, and email. i have an Ethernet cable ready to go, but i'm using someone else's internet at the moment (with their knowledge and approval).

i've been looking at Pine64 SBCs, but i'm open to anything as long as it's not a Raspberry Pi

I'd say find a cheap Intel/AMD 64 bit used PC, but those can be noisy and draw lots of power compared to SBCs. You don't need anything fancy. The <40€ ThinkCentres and such will do, especially if you throw some SSD in.
