I’ve been doing small hosting off and on for a while. Mainly for accessing files at home and the occasional Minecraft server. Not smart, as I’ve never used a specialized router. I used to use ddwrt, but now it’s impossible to flash most consumer grade routers.

id like to learn more stuff about cyber security, host other stuff, maybe host a website, but I’m just a guy who lives in an apartment. I’m stuck with 1 Internet service that claims it will terminate my service if they find me to be hosting anything. They must be semi-lax with that rule, because i haven’t gotten terminated for using ssh and cockpit.

Do you guys own a house, or are just fortunate enough to have access to an ISP that will let you host your own stuff?

    I have an ASUSTOR NAS with 16tb storage that runs my Plex server. It’s hardwired to my old gaming rig (2070 GPU / i79700k CPU) which handles the transcoding. I never took the time to set up Sonarr/Radarr so I just manually manage the torrents from there when I add stuff. I own my house if that matters and I have AT&T Fiber, 1000 up/ 1000 down.
