Regarding [1], do you know Brazilian law? I don't. In any case, the right to not incriminate yourself has been widely adopted, and in principle, could perhaps be invoked here, too.
1. Find some friends or people you trust to not sell you out to the police. Ideally, these people should be in another country.
2. Place a server box on their property. This box will be a replica of your every-day home-server and devices.
3. However, in order to stop law enforcement from technically [1] finding this replica-box, you will need to use Tor. This ensures your home-server does not store the ip address or the physical location of the replica-box.
4. If your home-server is taken by law enforcement, you can buy another home-server and use memorized details (or call your friends on a burner phone) to restore a backup from the remote device [2].
[1] Please note that law enforcement can legally compel you with threats of jail time to reveal where these replica boxes are.
[2] Since you will probably be under surveillance, it's unlikely law enforcement will allow you to freely communicate on the internet with new devices and servers.
