Plex probably isn't the best example, but yes, you can use Tailscale to create a sort of mesh network to access devices within private networks. Essentially any device that's connected to tailscale can be contacted by other clients connected to tailscale. There are extra routing things you can do to use a tailscale device as a sort of "exit node", but that's the basic gist.

Neat! (As a non-Steam Deck owner but eyeing with desire) I hadn't thought about putting Plex on it.

Put this on my list of projects to dig into when I have time. I briefly tried Grocy a while back thinking I may be able to use it for inventory mgmt, but it didn't stick. I want to say I found some other self hosted home inventory project at one point but didn't stick with that one either. It's one of those things that I think you have to really invest in to get ROI back, but that's hard to do, especially when it's more than just yourself (wife-factor) planning to utilize it that also has to buy-in and commit.

I've only ever run ZFS on a proxmox/server system but doesn't it have a not insignificant amount of resources required to run it? BTRFS is not flawless, but it does have a pretty good feature set.

A WINE type app but for OSX (or really just iOS) apps would be awesome to have both desktops and phone. Call it CIDER or something similar. I reckon the way Apple does their app stores these days it would be hard to actually get most software working, but I don't think that alone is a showstopper.
