Note: your ISP might cut your account, and this might violate your home insurance contract — depending on jurisdiction.

At least where I live there’s a stupid amount of red tape for these things.

Your ISP will cut your account when you saturate the upstream pipe 24/7 for weeks on end... which will only happen if you host video.

And your home insurance will not know/care if you're operating a desktop-sized computer or even a single server (it is perfectly fine and expected a developer might bring an actual server home for troubleshooting). Home insurance only cares if you're running dozens of them.
