Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one)

Again though, why a server? I don’t understand the concept of streaming really (I mean why I would want it, not how it works). I have some music files but they are on my laptop’s internal SSD (plus a few on my phone). No need for streaming. The idea of a server is generally to run some network services 24/7, or serve multiple clients, or have more hardware resources than would normally be found on a client PC. I don’t see a raspberry pi at home helping with much of that.

I guess I could imagine wanting some kind of centralized media server at home if there were multiple people using it, but it’s just me, and I’m generally not into video so I don’t have a huge video library or anything like that.
