What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?
I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!
Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Honestly? You already hit it. The pihole. Maybe a firewall/router so that they can switch away from the comcast "modem" to a small computer running opnsense and then either ubiquity or omada for easily upgraded wifi support.
For just about anything else? I would honestly say "no" to the "average joe". Unless you are running a backup solution, it is just a liability. And a backup solution involves offsite backups of the important stuff. Just having a NAS is worse than worthless unless it is solely used for data you don't want to keep at which point... why do you have it? Because hardware failures will happen and, unless you are regularly checking your dashboards, they will happen in rapid succession.

I use uptime kuma for monitoring - really easy to set up and very versatile

I mean, that is just another way of checking your dashboards. So is just futzing around semi-regularly.
Unless you are dealing with a high availability setup, it matters a lot less whether you do a push/pull model for notifications so long as you are regularly checking then. The issue is when you have people who just buy a synology or a qnap, shove it in the attic for two years, and then realize they lost three drives AND are infected by ransomware.
