I looked around awhile ago and didn't really find anything good.
I think the best option is a raspberrypi and one of those 12-15" portable HDMI monitors.

They do make RF blocking paint, but it's very expensive and I have no idea if it would be enough to fully block microwave signals.
Your router doesn't handle LAN traffic so an upgrade shouldn't make any difference, unless you have multiple VLANs and are passing traffic between them and don't have a Layer 3 switch in use to handle inter-VLAN routing.
I would probably start with an iperf test for download bandwidth to the Pi from the server. If that looks OK then I would benchmark the NFS share for read speed on the Pi, make sure that's not doing something weird.
If that all looks good then I would probably suspect that Kodi either isn't using hardware acceleration properly, or the specific media codec is not supported by the Pi for hardware acceleration.
Security for a full blown web app is not trivial and has a bigger “attack surface” than a kdbx file moving p2p through my devices via syncthing.
Absolutely.
My Vaultwarden instance is only accessible via LAN or VPN though, I don't think I'd want to expose it to the internet.
Not really, it uses some GPU power when it's actively generating a response, but otherwise it just sits idle.
The other handy reason to keep torrent files around is you can use it to verify the data you have isn't corrupted or changed in some way.
DNS is only used initially on first load, after that the connection is made via IP and DNS isn't used.
Between this, crowdstrike, and similar events my hope is people still stop relying so much on giant centralized services, but I'm being optimistic and that's not going to happen.
It's just weird that after install it can't detect my hardware and pull the drivers it needs like windows does.
I find quite often that the Live version of a distro will work perfectly, but after install some hardware won't work anymore.
I'm not sure what you mean?
It's fairly technically complex to set up a server, and the clients are very fragmented with no standard feature set, OMEMO encryption is also outdated in the libraries used in popular clients.
Overall I've tried it a few times, but the clients are just too dated feeling with no good easy to use PC clients.
