Warehouse worker who self hosts stuff here.

It all started when I was a teenager and I lost access to my photobucket account...

If you go down the VPS route, a headscale server on a cheap $3.50 VPS would be the way to go. Wouldn't even have to deal with IP addresses at that point, while still being able to self-host all your services, with the cheap VPS being a glorified switch/firewall.

In theory, you could make a fake executable with the mkv file extension on a unix system, by making it a shell script with a bunch of garbage data at the end, marking it executable, and distributing it with a tarball. But the chances someone will do that is insanely low.

Also it has caveats:

  1. It'd rely on your double clicking it, and having your file manager not warning you about it.
  2. Video players wouldn't run the shell script code, if it'd run the file at all.

A used mini computer, like a lenovo thinkcentre, hp prodesk mini, and dell optiplex micro.

Yep, my homeserver spends most of it's time idling, so power management kicks in.

Now when one of my build VMs are running, it'll get up to that range, but that's why I said it runs at 10 watts usually

The last time I checked, mine runs at about 5-10 watts usually.

Depends on your NAS server. If you're like me and using an old optiplex, you can fit WAY more 2.5" drives in it, and they're pretty cheap. If you have an actual proper server chassis, then you probably want 3.5" NAS hard drives cuz warranty and all that.

Eh, you can host a gitea instance on a $3.50 VPS pretty easily. I don't think money will be an issue when it comes to hosting and serving.

It's not tor, it's supposed to be it's own anonymizing network since tor doesn't support UDP or something.

I've tried it before, the speeds are abysmal to the point of being unusable. It took me 3 days to download something that was only 50mb when I last tried it.
