I’m going to allow this post, despite its age and likely obsolescence. I encourage community members to use up and down votes to judge its value to the community.

Thanks, this is one of the few truly beginner-friendly blogs I've found (not just this post, but the entire blog). It would be great for people to suggest some other more up-to-date resources for someone starting out. Specifically, this blog talks about trying and comparing different setups, factoring in costs, time commitments, dealing with setbacks, preparing for different use cases, etc.

There are lots of resources that share technical details, how-tos, system specs, etc., but not many that I've found walking through the decision making process including what worked and what didn't and why.

Old article by someone who seems to be an absolute newbie in that field.

The post is five years old. A lot have changed in that time.

I'm not sure if I would call the post "very detailed". An overview, at best.

What are some important things that have changed in the past five years that would change some if the choices?

Plexs movement away from selfhosters.
Cloudberry is now MSP360, and I can't tell what it actually does.

The author actually went back to a Synology NAS after one and a half year of using this server.
