You can use anything from a cheap $35 Raspberry Pi (use an SSD if you go this route) or VPS, all the way to a full-on dedicated server. It's up to you. Running a full node helps to further decentralize the Monero network and make the job of blockchain analysis firms and government spooks much harder.

Data compression can be very valuable when upload/exfiltrating data out of a compromised targeted environment. In this case you do not necessarily need to rely on third-parties libraries when you can directly do it from the processor. Intel/AMD x86 ISA SSE3 allow you to compress/decompress 32-bits values into a 5-bits (extended to 8-bit for alignment) stream. Quick, easy and fast ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
