Right choice, play it safe. Glad it landed safely, competition in space is a good thing. Better than a monopoly.

Sure thing. My electric rate is pretty cheap though. You may be better off finding a small box with integrated graphics in the CPU. Then add storage separately. Connected NAS or something else.
But I like the Dell servers since they're so cheap for the value.
Very easy if you're building a new box. The latest Linux kernel (6 I think) has all the required drivers available, and no encoding limit like Nvidia. The Intel GPUs are pretty great for media transcoding.
Personally I setup an old Dell r720 and stuck the GPU in that. My hypervisor is proxmox and I just run jellyfin as an unprivileged container.
Jellyfin is awesome! It does everything I could ask for and has been super stable for myself and a dozen friends and family. Almost all my media is 4k and some version of HDR. My cheap Intel ARC A380 and jellyfin handle everything beautifully. I tried plex but it's hardware transcoding wasn't as good with Intel GPU on Linux.
Tailscale is awesome, and super easy to set up. I think the free tier allows up to 100 devices now!
I love a good terminal. But help me understand, why for Android?
In the US, in my late twenties, and yes I learned how to before I was even legally allowed on the roads here. I do still infrequently drive manual cars as I'm a bit of a car enthusiast. I prefer automatic for a daily driver, but any sports cars or older vehicles are more fun with a manual transmission!
Jellyfin works surprisingly well for me. Album art and able to browse artists, etc.
I did the beta version last month. It was 10 days from hitting submit to getting it in the mail. Standard processing. Hopefully they're able to keep processing times similar with the roll out.
