Is it a bad idea to use my desktop to self host?

What are the disadvantages?? Can they be overcome?

I use it primarily for programming, sometimes gaming and browsing.

    Is it performing well as is? sshfs isn't very high performance, but if it's working it's fine - nfs would likely perform better though. I run jellyfin in a vm with an nfs mount to my file server and it works fine. Interface is zippy and scanning doesn't take too long. I don't get GPU acceleration but the CPU on that system (10th gen i7 I think) is fast enough that I haven't had much trouble with transcoding (yet).

      It's actually not bad, surprisingly. I have had issues sometimes, but they're network issues related to my router. I haven't had them in a while.
