  By the way, concerning the loose surge protector: Good thing you replaced that. If you see something like that, and it's mains voltage, always replace it ASAP. Not because it doesn't look nice or the RasPi gets unhooked... But because it's a proper fire hazard. A whole house can burn down if you have a loose mains connection and that somehow leads to electrical sparks.

  I wouldn’t trust a computer donated by anyone let alone for self-hosting personal data on it. No thanks!

    Haha, that is why it is with friends and family for people who want that. Definitely not for everyone. Cheers.

  What does this question even mean (no I don’t want to listen to a podcast to find out)?

  Sometimes I think people have been using the term “self-hosted” to mean what we used to call a home PC. I have always thought of a hosted computer (whether self-hosted or hosted by a company) as meaning a server which normally would live in a data center, and sometimes even means a rented box or VPS on which you self-host by installing and managing the software yourself (as opposed to using managed hosting or cloud services).

  So what is it that your friends are going to do with the machine? That would be pretty important about how you prepare it.

    You don’t even have to listen to a podcast to find out how misguided this comment is. Click the link, it’s all transcribed. It’s not a question, it’s a guide.

    If you’re not interested in the content, scroll past instead of being rude to people.

      The link is to podcast.james.network. Why would I expect it to be something other than a podcast?

    err, I don’t actually know what you mean by question. Your response is to a how to guide. Anyways, cheers since you aren’t interested. No worries.

    There are watching Jellyfin content on a smart tv and accessing whatever else pops up on a static page available at hostname.local

      Don’t use .local as an internal domain it can cause problems. Use .internal, it was recently reserved for this purpose

      I see, you are trying to make a home theater PC (HTPC). That would be a clearer term to use.
