How do you set this up to forward properly? Do you use different domains for different services? like plex.example.com?
I currently have nginx set up to forward based on port, which is fine for me, but it could be a little better.

Should never rely on a safety for that, though a gun in a proper holster should be impossible to discharge.
Guns should never be tucked into a waistband without a proper holster.
That would be a great platform to start with.
Price in a backup solution too, you don’t want to have all your movies disappear because of one hard drive crash, or an accidental reformat gone wrong.
RAID is not a backup.
Feels like some of that stuff, like the SSD’s are a bit overkill for a media server. Most of them still use spinning disks to maximize size vs. cost.
Additionally, the CPU/GPU needs of a media server are pretty minor, unless you need to transcode on the fly, and even then, single streams aren’t very intensive either.
So unless you’re capping the outgoing bandwidth to multiple external sources, you’re most likely just streaming the video source as-is to the destination, which just needs a stable network stream. If you don’t need to transcode at all, you don’t really even need a GPU on the hardware.

It’s dozens of those bags in the kitchen and hundreds of boxes of scrambled egg goo.
A - it’s DC comics for wonder woman
B - often pop culture borrows similar themes, so when an Amazon character becomes popular, other people tend to piggy back
Wonder Woman was created in 1941. I assume this comic was created in the 1950’s based on the dates.
Only connection I can think of.
Nah, a cable modem costs anywhere from $60-$300 depending on if you want one with a built in router/wifi. That’s a pretty good return on investment. Mine has been running just fine for over a decade, and I’ve replaced the wifi router behind it 3 times to get improvements in WiFI speed that I wouldn’t have gotten from my ISP. $11/mo would have cost me an extra $1,300+ of fees by now.
I have mediacom, and they’re pretty good about support in my area, even if they are pretty shitty about other things. They can and do send signals to be able to manage a self-owned cable modem, and they’ll send a tech to your house and diagnose issues, even if you roll your own network.
The US has some decent laws around protecting you from getting shafted by ISPs for this specific situation.

Are you a Chuck Tingle protagonist?
Very interesting, I like the screenshots! Will definitely check this out.
This is a good list, but I didn’t see you mention SSL certificates. If you’ve gone through all your steps, you should be able to use LetsEncrypt to get free, automatically managed SSL certs for your environment.
It really depends on your needs though. Yes, if you are printing documents, then laser is the only way to go.
But if you are printing pictures, then inkjet is by far the better choice.
Though in most people’s situation, they could probably just use laser for 98% of their needs, and then go to Walgreens for picture printing.
Solid writeup. Good looking setup. I like how you have a great reason for every decision you made.
Crazy overkill for almost everyone, but you’re living in the future!
I use portainer, but I don’t think I ever gave them my information. How would they even have my email?
