i now have enough money in my account for an entire home server setup, but i have no idea where to start.
i want to host things like a website backend, qbittorrent, and jellyfin, just a general use setup. (edited to remove mail server because i've learned this is a bad idea on a home server)
where should i get hardware? what hardware should i even get in the first place? anything i should know about choosing a distro to host a server on? i'm completely new to this and would appreciate advice.
please boost for visibility :3

@lexi be careful with email. You can basically forget about it if your homelab is behind NAT. And even then you have to keep in mind that emails will bounce if there is an outage in your WAN or power supply or if you just silly your Mailserver a little too much. ​​
