I do this - I self host my movies/TV, ebooks, comics, photos, etc. and use tailscale to access it from anywhere. It's not really great for "mainstream" but for "tech enthusiast" it's very useful. Basically

I've been using fundamentally the same Linux setup for over ten years now. I think the biggest change it went through was migrating the audio system to Pipewire, which took about an hour to figure out and hasn't need attention sin
