Mine is publicly exposed using the standard nextcloud:stable-apache docker container, with nginx (past) / traefik (present) handling TLS termination, but not otherwise adding additional security measures.
It's been this way for several years and I'm yet to have issues, but it's certainly not bulletproof since a critical vuln in Nextcloud could pwn it. That just hasn't happened.
Not aware of that one, either.
I don't have hard numbers, but my understanding is that in general, Proton is more receptive to hacks which get stuff working, or working faster, but that aren't proper solutions. WINE has a greater preference toward correctness, so compatibility is a bit worse, as is performance.
You could flip the breaker off for the well to find out.
Once there's no more pressure from the well, if the irrigation system keeps pressure, you know wherever that water comes from, it's not your hole.
Does the board say "Do it for her" or "Dont forget her"?

Ethanol won't just gum up hoses. I've had it EAT the hose on a wood chipper of mine to the point of sorta flaking apart on the inside. Still need to replace that hose and rebuild the carb.
In the last 4 months I've picked up welding and haven't coded. Ez.
For some reason, there's a weird 8TB 5640 RPM Blue that's CMR. I have one.
Dunno about the rest for sure but I think they're all SMR (except maybe 1TB).
In my experience, all that truly matters is that the drive is on the right recording technology (CMR, SMR, and maybe someday HAMR will be in the hands of us consumer plebs).
There are two reasons to care:
If your use case involves only ever writing a small amount of data, point 1 doesn't matter very much. If you're using software which doesn't care about CMR/SMR, point 2 doesn't matter very much.
If either point 1 or 2 matter to you, then you should go with CMR drives. If neither matter, you may go with SMR drives if you so chose.
PS: Both WD Blues and Seagate Barracudas are (often) CMR. Seagate consult this page: https://www.seagate.com/products/cmr-smr-list/. WD lists SMR/CMR on their website when you look up the part number.
In my home NAS, I use ZFS and have ran all sorts of drives through it. It's ran old consumer drives I've pulled out of scrap hardware, it's ran NAS-grade drives, and it's ran enterprise-grade drives... And since they're all CMR, I can't say there was much if any difference at all.
The only difference between the tiers that I find interesting/useful is the number of metrics you can pull off the drive. The fancier ones spit more metrics which could help you detect signs of failure earlier, but that requires knowing what to look for.
So at the end of the day, as long as the drive's recording technology works with your software, you're fine.
RE: External drives (seen in a comment)
External drives can be a great way to get disks for cheap, however they are loot boxes. What drive you get inside of them depends on the capacity, the manufacturer, and pure luck. You can generally look up the model number and see what people have said is inside, then hope you get whatever they got. (Generally, manufacturers don't often change what they put in there, but they do change over time.)
An SSD will improve responsiveness, but it's not strictly necessary. Linux is less HDD/SSD sensitive than Windows, but the difference is still there.
However 2GB is really pushing your limits. You'll get to desktop, but you'll struggle to get a web browser happy with that. If you want to make a headless server out of it, however, that's a perfectly fine amount.
