Yup!

Things you should be aware of thou are a Rpi3 and below only have a 100Mbps ethernet port, whereas a Pi4 and above have gigabit ports so if you're gonna be doing anything network related it might be better for you. A Pi5 again has one but then isn't as powerful GPU wise (sounds weird I know) and no good for transcoding things unlike the Pi4.

And saying that, I have two dinky Pi Zero's with DVB HAT's on them to give me my own HD Homerun TV tuners that I can access anywhere via Tailscale. They don't require much processing power and only operate over WiFi 2.4GhZ, but they work good.

If you want something to play with self hosting? Immich is a good start as the docs are as good as Tailscale's. A Pihole is often a good start to understanding your network better and allows installation via a simple curl command. Have fun!

Thank you, I'll take a look at those!

Ya know reading my comment again, something else I might advise is getting to know Docker if you haven't already.

However I find it shrewd to run anything networking related such as Pihole / TS / Zerotier / Adguard whatever is to run them raw dawg instead of in docker containers. Many recommended but I can't.

I've totally and others have too fugged up their network and not just with them in a docker containers. It's really sometimes very very opaque as to why things don't work.

Immich and stuff like that is great in docker containers, but networking? No thank u!

I haven't - thanks for the tip! I've mostly been running Kubuntu vanilla, aside from changing some DNS configs.
