You really just need, like, a screwdriver set to get into most laptops. Maybe you can search online (e.g. on YouTube) for tutorials for your model. Then you can buy a replacement fan and also replace the thermal paste, because 13-year-old thermal paste surely isn’t doing you any favors in the performance department. Altogether it shouldn’t cost more than €50 (if you’re careful not to break any internals).

BTW, if you want to watch YouTube videos with less resources, you can also copy the video URL into VLC

That and without an income source, you can't pay content creators, so you can't attract them to the platform in the first place. People dislike YouTube for running ads, but the ads are what pays for the videos.

IIUC the main problem with security (and how most WP sites get pwned) is the plugin ecosystem. There are thousands of plugins out there, which means that among many secure ones, there are also many (very) insecure ones. If you're judicious and don't install low-quality plugins, it shouldn't be a major problem.

WordPress itself has automatic updates turned on by default, so if a vulnerability is patched in WP core, that will land on your site automatically without any effort on your part.

One plugin that's I use on my WP sites is the free version of the Wordfence firewall. While not really necessary given the above, it does give me a little peace of mind.

All that said, the main draw for WP is to be able to manage a website without having to touch code. If you're happy to write your pages by hand, a static site generator is definitely a lot more lightweight than a CMS like WordPress.

Self-hosted WordPress blogs were actually already able to federate with the fediverse (if the blog admin installs the requisite plugin). The recent news is that blogs hosted on WordPress.com are now also able to federate.

WordPress.com is the name of the hosting service by the creators of WordPress, but you can also choose to host the WordPress software elsewhere (and many do).

In WordPress, one blog can have many authors, so it does make sense to consider it a group

Don't really know about the US, sorry. eBay might be a good place though.

Any second-hand business class laptop, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.

Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they're still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.
