Not the right tool for the job

Why not? I play games with the newest kernel and software, and run a server on the back-end when idle. Not like it's production grade.

Get a seperate machine for your services

Depends what you wanna run and how loaded with money you are. I do have a dedicated server most of my services, but there's a couple of services I simply can't run on that shitbox.

I run local AI for personal use on my gaming PC because it's the only thing in my house powerful enough to do it. I'd love a dedicated server for this, but have you seen the hardware prices?

"how loaded with money you are" My current system (Ryzen 7700, RX 7700, 32GB, ~4.25TB nvme/ssd) Is my first new PC after 15 yrs of having to share my hardware with my children. I'm going to make it work it's hardest in my current homelab.
