   Yes, I do host a mumble and a XMPP server (with Prosody). Since the   
   mobile clients for XMPP are decent (mainly monocles and Conversations),   
   it wasn't hard to get family and friends hooked up with it. For them   
   it's just another regular messenger app.   
      
   I synchronize my Joplin notes and documentations with the server and   
   allow network storage for all devices in our household via NFS and Samba.   
      
   Streaming content isn't on my agenda. If I want to watch something, I   
   just put it on the server as a file and run it with a client.   
      
   The machine is a low-powered Dell laptop with a Pentium Silver N5000 and   
   just 4GB RAM. The services I run on it have a small footprint and the   
   server doesn't consume a lot of power, so it's a sensible choice   
   compared to cloud hosting or renting a VPS.   
      
   I'll probably downgrade the machine to a Raspberry Pi 4 at some point,   
   just to keep the energy footprint even lower.
