Meth labs. That will definitely change anyone's life.
So, if you don't know yet what you're doing, I wouldn't host anything critical yet, but I'm using:
And so far, very few troubles. It's a layer on top of Debian to ease self-hosting. Comes by default with email and XMPP server. You can add Nextcloud and many other services as you wish.

Since no one else has mentioned it, I’ll give a shout out to documentation engine Outline, which allows for self-hosting. Definitely on the trickier side to set up (requires three auxiliary services to be configured) but creates great looking docs that share easily, allows for collaboration and is super fast.

TandoorRecipes is a great little recipe-hosting service, and it's available as an app on Unraid. No more saving recipes in my notes app, I actually have nicely-formatted ingredient lists and instructions.

Joplin.
You don't strictly have to self host it but it's gotten pretty good with a WYSIWYG editor now and everything.

For me, it was a wiki/knowledge base - I've had dozens over the years as I've tried to find the 'right' one, but I'm currently a fan of @bookstack@fosstodon.org. My brain's not always the most reliable, and so my wiki becomes my 'external brain'. A lot of people are using things like Obsidian/Notion/etc in the same way.

Whats a good way for me to take the dive into self hosting without getting myself in trouble security wise? I would love something that is basic to build off of as I experiment with it to teach myself the more advanced stuff.
Stick to local stuff, no need to open ports at all. I got myself a Raspberry Pi and I just have it next to my router.
Once I felt like using it outside my network, instead of opening ports and doing complicated stuff that didn't work cuz I am behind a Nat, I just used Tailscale instead, it's a private VPN that is free for a limited amount of devices (like 10 or more I think so it's fine for you and family). It's the best easiest thing ever

Does a pihole setup not slow down your connectivity? Been looking into it but I'm very much a novice with my raspberry pi. I do want to use it for something cool other than just sitting around.
And my question is only deepened by the fact that I have a synology box as well. I could use pihole on that instead of my raspberry pi, right?
Ideally Pihole should actually speed up your connectivity by blocking all of the tracking and ad connections your browser and apps would normally make. Since it’s basically just a DNS server, it doesn’t take much horsepower to run either.
