You can even bypass all that and just mount it in the Explorer GUI.

You’re not running an entire Active Directory domain in your home?

A couple years ago my in-laws were downsizing after retiring and they asked if I would possibly have any use for their ancient desktop PC (at least old enough to have shipped with Windows 7).

I installed Debian on it and it’s running Jellyfin, qBittorrent through Gluetun, Calibre-web, NextCloud, and Pi-Hole containers, with plenty of room to spare. I’ve also got some services running on Raspberry pis (back when they were cheap). And an external 4TB hard drive connected to it acting as a NAS. No hardware transcoding or 4K video on Jellyfin but that’s no big deal for me.

All that to say yes, you can absolutely self-host on repurposed hardware. Any old PC you’re looking at is no doubt newer than mine.

Two so far.

A DBZ set would actually be pretty sick.

No, you pretty much got it. It became this weird meme and, as with everything that becomes popular, someone’s trying to monetize it with toys, collectibles, Fortnite skins, and now a cinematic universe, because of course.

The most dangerous place is where that picture was taken. St Louis drivers are bold and straight up wild. Just this afternoon, four different cars were pulling some Fast and the Furious nonsense, weaving in and out of traffic around me. And I was going 80!

Something tells me there are going to be plenty of personal liberty and free market opinions that will be left on the cutting room floor.
