What will the provider do for ddos on me?
I keep a large number of sites and various projects that require vds machines to work. In order not to overpay, I want to assemble a web server at home from old components and buy a white IP from the provider. If I suddenly burn my IP, and someone decides to choke, can the provider do something? Maybe he will break the contract, limit the traffic, or will he even care about the drum?

He won't do anything. It's not your fault that some third parties attack your address. Neither direct nor indirect.
and someone decides to screw up
He will see the traffic jumping on the port and block the port - you already have to prove that you are not a camel.
Turn it off if it bothers him. It's in the contract.
Using the network for other purposes
Disruption of the normal operation of the network.
Looking at the provider.
The same Rostelecom has ddos protection "Perimeter" for all home Internet clients by default.
Other providers may not have protection. In this case, the traffic will most likely reach you, or, with a high attack power, spurious traffic can clog the entire link / some part of the provider's network. If the provider is small and the attack is large, the entire provider may fall. Most likely in this case, they will establish who is being attacked and contact you about the attack. With a high degree of probability, you may be asked to stop hosting sites on your home link, if you refuse, they will block you and that's it.
You don't have to pay extra for vds. Firstly, there are quite decent servers for a small fee in the Russian Federation. Secondly, the server at home is a hassle - you need to provide uninterrupted electricity, a stable link, cooling, etc. Thirdly, it’s definitely not worth assembling a server from old components, since most likely there are some slow hdds, or shabby ssds, plus old hardware has a greater chance of getting screwed up simply.
All this crap for a small fee can be thrown off to the vds provider. The same timeweb or fervds for a couple of caches give good vds configs.
But I still do not advise burning ip. Killing any server on most hostings is not so difficult. And for this you will not be patted on the head - they will also block you. But then at least your home link will not fall and you can continue to watch YouTube and surf. Plus, you can simply change the IP address on the server through the socket or support.
In general: you take vds and cover it with some kind of cloudflare or ddos guard.
