I've fallen down a home server rabbit hole over the past few months:

- purchased an Intel N100 mini PC
- running Proxmox with ~30 LXC containers and VMs
- PiHole for network-wide adblocking
- Paperless for document scanning, storage, and LLM-based retrieval 
- Home Assistant for full home automation (lights on/off based on motion, etc)
- Plex for media server
- nginx proxy manager for reverse proxy to expose services to internet

I can understand why people love this hobby
