Off the top of my head just nostr relay from umbrel, and maybe just poke around umbrel.

There have been many pi projects, that didn’t really require gpio, where I glanced over and then remembered pi’s were way over priced. I know you can easily add gpio to a nuc/miniPC if needed.

The affordable x64 options all seem to come from companies like bmax or beelink which I’ve seen good things said about on YouTube, but there are tons of these dell & hp x86 slight older mini pc’s that institutions are essentially tossing out the window that are alluring, and in my basic consumer mind won’t be melted a year later 💁‍♀️

Agreed, beelink does make the miniPC's more affordable. However, I am a bit vary about placing trust on them with regards to service, warranty claims and temperature management.

I managed to grab a good offer off of ebay for a lenovo M75q gen2 ryzen miniPC a few weeks ago and it's been running great so far. It's very silent and occupies a lot less space on my desk. I can leave it running always. Allows upgradable RAM, M.2 NVME SSD and space of an additional SATA SSD.

Also, I agree. Pi's did get overprices ever since the chip shortage and the prices didn't drop as much. They are still a little hard to find online, but are available in stores here like Microcenter. You could also check https://rpilocator.com/?instock
