I'd be hesitant to run it at your own house. While you can use a cloudflare tunnel, I'd never expose anything in my home network to the outside.
Digital ocean is cheap, there's another called hetzner which looks also pretty cheap. So you start will rent 1 core VPS for 5 bucks, it's enough to run your own instance but not really enough to host any communities.
How are your Linux skills?
You'll need a domain name to start. If you plan on hosting any communities, you'll want to secure it as well, I'd recommend a cloudflare account, use their DNS proxy and then only allow traffic from cloudflare cdns so as not to expose your server directly. You'll also want to configure the Web application firewall to block bots, known malicious IPs, that kind of stuff. To manage this, you'll have to host your DNS in cloudflare and create and install an origin certificate on your host server.
If you are comfortable with Linux and command line (you'll want to know at least the basics to get you by), then you can deploy via ansible. Lemmy has a nice little doc that mostly covers everything.
Feel free to ping me if you have some questions.
Oh and if you are having your instance send mail, you can use the service built in, but it'll get flagged as spam. You'll need either a SMTP relay service like sendgrid or SPF records so that receiving email servers can verify its coming from your domain.
While he didnt have a private army, he had hordes of angry armed people that he pointed toward the capital. He knew he lost the election and was trying to steal it with fake electors and the storming of the capital. While it's not the same situation, he definitely DID try to overthrow the government and he IS still walking free.
I have a garmin epix 2, best Damn watch ever. It lasts roughly 2 weeks on a charge. All the same features as the Fenix but OLED display.
I've tried using YNAB but I eventually stopped setting it up. I think it was because it didn't have bi weekly type transactions, or that might have been mint. Both I've tried using, both I just couldn't. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
Overseer monitors the watch list (or you can directly request from the portal) and then goes to either sonarr or radarr and adds them. Useful if you have some users you share your library out to and you want to let them request stuff. There's also an approval system so your storage doesn't get filled up by crap.
Mostly PC, I have a PS5/PS4, switch, and xbox series as well. The xbox is basically collecting dust as most games that come out there are also on PC. The PS5 gets some use when there's an exclusive and the switch is somewhere.... I just don't know where.... Maybe in the couch?
Add overseer in the mix and you've got it made. I have overseer watching my plex watch list, so when I add something, in a few minutes it's available to watch. It helps having a 1gb pipe as well.
I mean, you can see their financial statements. All that stuff is public info since they are a publicly traded company. This chart shows the net profits since 2010 going from 161m to almost 5B

Speaking of....
Now if I could just actually stick to a budget... I get spendy sometimes and my budget doesn't like it.
If your server is local, meaning it is on your network, then you connect via the local netowork. If you are both wired, then you'll likely be connected via 1Gbe. If you server is wired, and you connect wirelessly, you are limited by the wireless connection speed. If your jellyfin server is remote, meaning physically hosted offsite, then you will be limited by your internet speed and the speed of the jellyfin servers connection.
If the connection is local and its dropping, check out your jellyfin servers resources to see bottlenecks. Also see if you can check your tplink router and see if the CPU is spiking.
