I want to set up a home server and take advantage of everything it can offer, specialty privacy.
Raspberry PI, no matter the version, are all quite expensive here in Brazil, so that's off the table. I'll go for a regular desktop. But the the requirements for a server that "does it all" remains a mystery to me.
What specs do you guys recommend?
Rx580 was such a workhorse card. Used mine until a year ago and then it went to a friend who's still using it today.
My Rx580 has basically been on continuously since I bought it in like 2017/18. I used it to mine when I wasn't gaming until it became unprofitable, then to process sequencing data for my dissertation project while not gaming, and now it's in my server.
