I run truenas scale and it's great and pretty much set and forget. I have a bunch of NFS shares and run minio for services that support object storage. I also run postgres, mariadb, and mongodb so that I don't have to worry about how big databases get on my compute machines.
The truenas container features are fine but I prefer to run most containers on dedicated docker hosts.
Yes, there are relays to connect the clients together and then the transfer is direct.
Several years ago when I was doing consulting I had lots of clients that blocked all the normal file sharing domains to prevent people from getting files into servers but magic wormhole always worked for me. I'd stash a wormhole-william (magic wormhole compatible Go application) executable in our installer deliverable and then I could update the software without IT's help in the future (I often had RDP access). The headaches saved by cutting red tape were worth the risk for me.
Instead of paying $10/month for a music subscription, I buy 10-15 albums a year, mostly on bandcamp. I self-host Navidrome so I can stream my music on my devices.
I ran a 1650 super for a while. At idle it added about 10W and would draw 30-40W while transcoding. I ended up taking it out because the increased power wasn't worth the slight performance increase for me.
Memos fits a wide variety of uses and is the first note system that has clicked for me. I use it for quick notes so I don't forget things, journal-like entries, save for later (like Pocket), shopping lists and other todos.
I have the GoControl zwave thermostat. It's very barbones and has no real smarts on it's own but can be fully controlled by zwave. This is what I was looking for as I wanted full control over the algorithm, but if you want to it have more intelligence without having to write the code yourself you should consider other options.
Fair, but I traveled for a music festival and saw lots of people pulling up their phones to get a few hits of TikTok/insta when there was a small lull in action. And most of them were with friends. Just enjoy your surroundings.
Maybe I'm just old, but I traveled by plane recently (I don't fly very often) and seeing everyone around me mindlessly scrolling short-form video content was shocking. Looked identical to the people in the space ship in WALL-E.
At least with junior devs I can hop on a call and show them better ways to do things or why their code is failing. And the good ones eat that up and get promotions.
I started self hosting many years ago when the company I worked for got new workstations and sold the old ones for next to nothing. It was a very powerful machine but I payed the price every month in electricity. I am now running a bunch of services on 2 mini pcs (each was about $250 USD) with laptop cpus and my electricity usage is way down (like 45 watts for both machines, router, and switch).
There will be a steep learning curve, but I highly recommend learning docker (especially docker compose) and how to setup a reverse proxy. The self hosted communities are very helpful and can answer more specific questions as they come up.

Win win

We run this at work so we have forever copies of image tags and to reduce dockerhub rate limit issues. Works well even for a large dev team.

I just started Chained Echoes, another snes-style rpg
Love me some turned based strategy. I'll put it on my wishlist
Defragmenting often to free up some precious megabytes. I felt like the king of the world upgrading from 4 to 20 GB.
Now I treat a few gigabytes the way I used to treat a few megabytes (like they're nothing)

My wife's parents have a decent plot of land and always go out for a mow when they're bored of us. I guess it's better than staring at their phones.

Can't say the same for LLMs
The only way to protect yourself from fomo and narcissism in life
And able to be controlled locally with no need to talk to a cloud API. Fast, reliable, private, and future-proof.
