I'm sure there will be a few others that do the same. I'm interested to see what others run at home. I would love to host my own email server, but the admin overhead is a pain (making sure IP is not blacklisted for spam) and you also require a reverse DNS record for your home IP, which can't be done with my current ISP.

Here's a breakdown on my home setup.

Over time my favourite torrent sites have gone to the recycle bin in the sky. TVtorrents were a Swedish hosted site and were the #1 for all TV Stuff. Everything neatly sorted into series and listed by resolution. They went offline many years ago and it was a real loss. I then switched to using RARBG and they were excellent for having filters where you could explicitly search for 4k/UHD releases for both film and tv. I would generally add this filter and check every few days to...

It had lost its partition so I recovered all of his data for him in a docking station and at the end he said keep it.

I think the last 4tb I did with diskpart it only showed up 2tb. I want to use it back in the NAS caddie.

They run on a desktop PC that sits behind my TV. It's a Ryzen 7 1700x processor, 32GB RAM. I run Plex as a container on this host and it's pretty good, but I have some issues with transcoding when I put subtitles on 4k UHD movies. CPU goes to max and video doesn't play. Turn off subtitles and it plays fine.

By sheer coincidence, I found this post on Reddit the other day. This is the exact spec of machine I use (Ryzen 1700x)...
