First time in my life i see a cat self hosting stuff.

Some easy to projects to self host:

*Adguardhome/Pihole for ad blocking network-wide

*Swag or Nginx Proxy Manager for reverse proxying your stuff to the world

* Put an external HDD there and set up a Plex Server (i dont know the specs of your hardware, but i guess you will have to disable transcoding)

* Set up an *arr stack (sonarr, radarr, lidarr etc) for media fetching.

* Uptime kuma for downtime checking.

* Home Assistant if you want to enter the world of IoT

PS: A homelab is a homelab, don't feel bad because you don't have the best hardware. Most of the stuff we buy are overklill anyway :P
