    You can host most basic web apps off a raspberry pi. You just need to:

    1. connect your device to the internet
    2. start your server application
    3. set up port forwarding on your router to forward the port your application is being hosted on
    4. get a domain name
    5. configure ddns
    6. Maybe get some SSL certs

    .

    Edit: BearOfaTime brings up a great point. I’m telling you how to do what you asked but you probably shouldn’t. If you do, try to airgap the server from your personal network as best as you can

    Edit edit: You know people will let you use their servers for small projects for free right? Check out https://ctrl-c.club/#what or hang out in the LowEndTalk forums and provide quality input and enter some of the giveaways for server space

    Although the drawback to ctrl-c club is that you’re not going to get full control of how you install libraries and applications

    I’m a big fan of unraid but I will admit it’s overkill for a simple media server.

    A synology NAS should be plenty powerful enough for most streaming needs so long as you’re willing to let your media transcode first and you’re not streaming to too many devices at once.

    I use my unraid NAS to run sonar/radarr/readarr/prowlarr, stable diffusion, myjdownloader, a few vms and at one point even my lemmy instance. But honestly aside from stable diffusion and the VMs a synology NAS should have enough power to run a handful of other apps in addition to plex/jellyfin

    It feels like all the people clamoring to get onto threads are like wanabe influencers n stuff.

    I have very little interest in becoming an influencer but I was definitely hoping I could game the system a little to get more engagement. It was just “good” timing that threads dropped because I have a couple of things I’m trying to promote right now.

    I put good in quotes because after 2 days I’ve been advertised to a ton but I don’t think any of my comments have made it outside my circle.

    I guess I’m trying to say that I think a lot of people want something in between being an influencer and being a product. I don’t need to be the next Louis Rossmann but I would really appreciate it if the flyers I post for the grassroots House music parties I throw got more than 10 “impressions”. Instead it feels like the only time Meta promotes my posts is if Meta can get a couple clicks out of a political post by showing it to my republican relatives.
