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?

i’d modify the CPU requirement and say you can sub that out for a 2nd hand cheap nvidia card if it’s easier

here’s the table of cards with nvenc: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

i’m running an old af xeon and added a $30 entry level GPU from years ago and it was a great upgrade
