Sounds like you need some more hobbies to throw at it. :-)

You could always inflate the numbers by giving it artificial load but I imagine that breaks a ToS somewhere.

I use Steam + Proton in an LXC so I can share the graphics card among several other containers. It works quite well with streaming once I got it set up.

I was going to recommend Logseq as well. I use the git plug-in on laptops and Working Copy (git on iOS) and some automations to sync it on mobile.

With Plex you can go to https://app.plex.tv from your work computer and steam from your browser. That said, if you can install software, Plexamp is a great way to listen to and rediscover your music.

Nostr gets rid of the notion of servers and admins. At a high level everyone on nostr owns their own account (no central instance). When you want to post something you send your content to a list of relays you choose.

Other people can choose what relays they want to subscribe to.

Relays can block people from subscribing or posting.

Everything is cryptographically secured so there is no way for someone to pretend to be you.

Lemmy is different where the instance admin has complete control. Admins can post as you and users cannot easily migrate to a different server.

I’m glad to see there is now a free version of Plex Amp. This is, by far, my favorite way to stream my music library.

To be fair, this is the first time he died in the sub…

+1 to using a subdomain. You’ll probably have a much better time even if you get a path working.

It’s not the cheapest but I use a DigitalOcean instance to do what you are describing. I’ve been burned by VPS hosts and I’ve enjoyed the complete lack of drama or downtime with DigitalOcean.

For port forwarding I’m using Private Internet Access and gluetun. I don’t really recommend Private Internet Access and, like you, I’m interested in a better solution. It’d be nice if I could use ProtonVPN’s port forwarding but it looks like that only works if you use their app.
