I have small 2 computer personal setup, virtual / software defined networking.
virtualization is available in commodity hw from 1999 when VMWare allowed to have 56 virtual machines inside of one computer...
email"relay" server. because i do not want hassle of DKIM and other useful and appropriate technologies, needed to have to be able to have reliable delivery of mail. which i had problems with having my own email server not being able to deliver mail to some small business in past. im just using one of the big guys mail system, but all mail is archived in my "relay server". i can change email provider in few minutes that way. and take address with me.
fileserver. rsync or iscsi or btrfs send/receive works great. Most linux distros use rsync + small script as a "installer". under GUI.
Owncloud, jitsi, wireguard.
Whonix. nothing nefarious. 2 vm setup for reality checking shadowbanning, price manipulation based on your social network profiles etc.

network connected cameras, collection device is "frigate nvr", every camera is just streaming RTSP anyway... you can check on them even with MPV/VLC. cameras are not exposed in any way to internet. your cameras get updates 2 times per lifetime... your windows at least once per month...
subnet / internal network - every service has its own IPV6 address so i can have visibility on multiple places into activity on my network. one of the services is changing ip address every 5 minutes. for security reasons. it is great indicator of intrusion, proved that twice already. :( if you do not have IPS, IDS, file change monitor etc, you know NOTHING about activity in your net. most linux distros are awful in default config. nonsense like WINE or products built on top of WINE are worst thing for security ever invented. you pay for unhampered surveillance of you.
Externally i rent for 2 dollars per month a private DynDNS relay / wireguard helper server for nat holepunching. because i do not have public ipv4 address, and you still need ipv4 for internet ADs ADs ADs ADs to work. I use service similar to Hurricane Electric IPV6 service.
i host my own SoftwareDefinedRadio for few "friends".
Also bought kiwi sdr to sit in "DMZ" for public to use, it is great service/device. HAMs can check if their signal is received / receivable in my location. space weather, antenna misconfiguration, jamming ... also wspr beacon. i can show people how many radio signals are out there free to use.
im thinking about deploying DMR and/or dPMR "basestation" to enable connectivity in my area. "neighbourhood watch" can work even in no grid situation. we already have own wifi network but wifi handhelds (PTT, talkpod, zello etc) are not reliable for us, for some known to us reason. already big users of PMR446 but lacks privacy, but children like them for small formfactor. (roughly 60 users) and that will be self hosted too.
meshtastic / reticulum / sideband is great as a home alarm notification system. PtMP.
homeassistant as a home manager + pv data aggregator/visualizer, it is almost not updated, i do not have nerves to deconflict plugins etc after every update. it is not exposed to wan anyway. to update only after newly bought devices require that.
passive house standard. + PV with storage. 92 % of hot water from solar photovoltaic (not solarthermal) past 365 days. ( first three months were exceptionally sunny this year) other years 88-90%. my house needs same amount of energy for heating as a 40 houses near me combined... why?
electric - house, cars, bikes, lawnmower, semi self driving cart for garden (no AI/ML just basic "bug racing" arduino project magnified 1000 times. ).
