Hey! I'm trying to get into self hosting and was wondering what would be possible with a single Pi, at least until I can get more capable hardware.

The servies I'm interested in would be things like a pihole, music server, photos server, a few personal fediverse instances (mainly owncast), a small Matrix homeserver for my friends, etc, etc. Media server but that's obviously way into the future I think.

While I don't intend or think I can run all of this on one Pi, I just want to know how much is possible. I'm really thankful for any feedback I may get. My apologies for the noobness if I'm completely wrong about all of this.

One last thing, any recommendations on any other services I should try out as a beginner?

Edit: In hindsight, I really do I wish I asked about the ability of sharing these services with people and how that would affect the load and performance. One of my biggest goals is to have this used by family and close friends.

I've been on Matrix for a few weeks now and like it quite a bit, but I'd like to join another homeserver to aid in the decentralization movement. Are there any trustworthy ones the people of Lemmy know of?

Edit: After looking, the only ones I found that were "recommended" are weird lolicon servers, or aren't federated with ANY of the rooms and spaces I want to be in. Why is the home server situation this bad??? Is Matrix's federation system different/worse or something? This is making very little sense to me.

I'm doing a lot better than I was a few years ago, but I still feel myself slip and fall into the same cycle a lot. What things have you guys been doing that has worked for you? It can be small, big, anything really.

One of the coolest mecha designs in anime history.

Do you guys have any particular memories of your first manga experience(s)? I remember walking into Barnes and Nobles as a wee little lad, and asking one of the kind store ladies where the "anime" section as. She told me that it was called manga, and guided me to the proper section. I still remember going every so often with my mom, it was magical every time. I can't even remember how many times I re-read the first volume of One Piece.

One of my favorite J-Rock bands of all time. I love how they breath new life into old styles of music, mix retro and modern, and combine a whole bunch of genres together to make a wonderfully unique sound (at least to me.) Particularly old Super Robot anime, and other retro JP media like tokusatsu. While this song is pretty standard compared to their usual stuff, I feel it's pretty special considering their goal as anison artists.

I think seeing the media they produce music for would give a better understanding as to why I enjoy their music as much as I do, so I hope posting an MAD isn't against the rules. I apologize in advance if it is.

It feels nice to see people express themselves with an icon and banner of something they like instead of how homogenous the icons are on Reddit, unless you paid up of course. At least that's how I feel. Definitely an unexpected pro.
