This posts lists inexpensive home servers, Tailscale and Claude Code as the big unlocks.

I actually think Tailscale may be an even bigger deal here than sysadmin help from Claude Code at al.

The biggest reason I had not to run a home server was security: I'm worried that I might fall behind on updates and end up compromised.

Tailscale dramatically reduces this risk, because I can so easily configure it so my own devices can talk to my home server from anywhere in the world without the risk of exposing any ports on it directly to the internet.

Being able to hit my home server directly from my iPhone via a tailnet no matter where in the world my iPhone might be is really cool.

Why not cloudflare tunnels ?

Even behind a tunnel, if you happen to be running an older version of a service (like Immich) with a known exploit, you are still vulnerable to attacks. Tailscale sidesteps this by keeping the service completely "invisible" to the outside world, so the two don't quite compare in my view.
