Since I was a young man and first started to notice the girls around, my brother gave me some advice that to this day I still follow.

Smells like chicken? Get to lickin'. Smells like trout? Get the fuck out.

The RAM and Storage costs have skyrocketed due to AI. My home server is running 64GB because I just happened to have a kit laying around from an old project.

Hetzner has auctions on dedicated servers that can be really good. But if you just need a vps, check out Contabo.

I had a fairly high end drawing pad no matter what I did, I could not get it to work properly on Linux. I needed up purchasing another and it worked perfectly fine with very little setup required. My work used to require Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere, but not long ago, maybe a year, they changed the workflow and I am no longer on the team that has to use those tools.

Otherwise, I've had very little issues, even with gaming. I think I've ran into 3, maybe 4, titles that wouldn't work on Linux, but they were kind of niche games. Most modern titles with even a moderately large audiences work just fine.

This is what I'm currently hosting, might find something here that interests you.

AudioBookshelf: Exactly as the name implies Navidrome: Music Streamer MeTube: YouTube/Video Site downloader ConvertX: Converts hundreds of files. Beszel: Dashboard to monitor hardware MediaVault: My own app I wrote to track my Movies, Music, Video Games, Books. AMP: Video game server management software. JellyFin: Movie/TV Streaming Software FileBrowser: Browser based file management software. Radarr: Find Movies, download them. Sonarr: Find TV Shows, download them. ARM: Automatic Ripping Machine, put in a DVD/BluRay, Rips, compresses, and moves to JellyFin. (Huge pain to get working though, for me at least.) Pihole: Network management and Ad Blocker. Octaprint: 3D Printer management.

I have a bunch of other stuff too, like custom written scrips that show the info from Beszel on my Windows desktop via a Widget in RainMeter. Custom dashboard when I first login via SSH. My next thing to experiment with is setting up a custom website to use as a homepage dashboard for my browser, commonly used bookmarks, news feed, email alerts, weather, social media feeds, whatever else I can think of or get working.

And for anyone curious what the hardware is:
