Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) (tilvids.com)

Hi there! This is a video that I made that I'm hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don't claim to be an expert at all so I'd also love some feedback. Thanks!

I set up my home server, then realized my Internet is shit and my upload speeds can't even steam 1 4k movie, let alone several at once.

I am not excited to triple my monthly Internet bill for better upload speeds, but it will have to happen soon.

I'm more worried about my electricity bill tbh. Low-power devices aren't easily available and the second hand market is crap in my area.

I would gladly spend more for better (10mbit up atm) but all the upgrades get me to like 25 up and that's it. I have no incentive to spend more for basically nothing. I hate it.

Just get a service that can download the movie from ur sever and then watch it offline.

Set one up as a cache of things you like. Have it fetch things with punch flat and filter out the ads. Then you can watch whatever you want even after Google takes it down for no reason.

IMO 4k resolution is overkill its way past the optimal between file storage and visual fidelity. Nobody has ever complained about the visual quality of my 720p or 1080p sourced stuff much in the same way most sane people wont notice the difference between FLAC and mp3 on average listening. Bhack in my day we were lucky to get 480p on a square box tv.
