I also use this for my stuff. I don’t have too open any inbound ports at all or worry about the fact that I’m on a dynamic IP, I just access things over my local IPs / hostnames as though I’m on my home LAN.

100% agreed on the advice to just start going with it on your current setup. That’s exactly how I started out with Plex and it worked really well.
I’ve since made upgrades, but it’s all been incremental based on what has been helpful at the time. For instance, I got an Nvidia Shield Pro and started running Plex on that, which has been nice since I don’t need to keep my desktop on all the time. I also use it for streaming games from my desktop to the TV, so it’s not purely just for Plex.
After building up a lot of media, I got a bit concerned about having a single point of failure in my single HDD, so that’s when I got a Synology NAS box and I have their RAID setup going for redundancy. I could also just run Plex from the NAS box and I’ve been considering it, but I’ve been really happy with how things are working right now, so I’m not messing with it.
Our cats love hanging out in their carriers unless we actually need to take them somewhere.
Yeah, Cloudflare offers domain registration at cost, which is pretty hard to beat.
All of the Supergiant games are amazing. All hits, no misses.
Unfortunately, their older brother has dibs on the good controller.
