I have a similar setup except I'm using Jellyfin instead of Plex.
For hardware, it's a Ryzen 5900X, 128 GB of memory, 1 cheap SSD for the OS, 2 1TB NVME drives for fast storage, 2 2TB SSDs for normal storage, and 4 20 TB drives for bulk storage. 1 cheap GeForce GT 710 for video, and 1 Nvidia T1000 for transcoding.
For OS, I'm using Proxmox. I have a few VMs, but mostly everything lives in LXC containers.
For the NAS part, I have the hard drives mounted as a raidz2 on the Proxmox host, and I pass access through using LXC Bind Mounts. The pair of SSDs are in a mirror, and same with the pair of NVME. Game servers live on the NVME, and everything else on the SSD.
Game servers that run on linux run in LXC, otherwise I have a windows VM. I've never liked running game servers in Docker.
I also have Proxmox Backup Server running on the Proxmox host itself.
Make sure your closet has adequate ventilation.
Age range? Budget?
Do you have a lot of extra smoke detectors lying around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn
It really depends on what you use. There are tools that will extract the different data streams inside the containers and you could add them to a different (compatible) container... However if you use some sort of converter tool, it may just read the data stream, decompress it and decompress it again which would under the best circumstances lose quality to it's size.
There are 2 separate concepts I think you may be trying to merge into 1.
There are File Formats (also called Container format), like Audio Video Interleave, which is commonly identified with the .avi file extension, and Matroska Multimedia Container, which is commonly identified with the .mkv file extension. They define the structure and organization of data within a file. Ex the audio data starts at offset X, the video data starts at offset Y, en_us subtitles start at offset....... etc.
Then there are Encoding Formats, like AV1, h.264, HEVC. These are algorithms that can be used to compress video for storage within a file and decompress the data within a file for display.

So I’m trying to get some info about an upcoming medical procedure. I wanted to make sure I get a balanced view so I asked 2 doctors, 2 people who once took a first aid class once at summer camp, and 2 who believe vaccines cause autism.

I've had success with trivial things, like write a log file parser with this pattern, or give me a basic 3 part left-right-center header in html. Works ok for trivial side projects. I would never trust it in production. Its a tool, nothing more at this point. Like an electric drill, better than a hand crank, but you still need to know how to use it.
$650 HOA? I don't even like my $35/month HOA.
BeeHaw looked promising up until a few days ago when this happened:

and the response from the other admins was a lack luster too.

Like how hard would it be to say that the admin's behavior was unacceptable and it will be discussed internally. It seems clear to me (and most other posters there) that it was a one sided issue.
I'm not really sure where is good. It was nice to see some non-admins speaking up about it, but seeing the other admins circling the wagons when one of them is clearly in the wrong makes me weary of doing any more than lurking. 10A wouldn't last 5 minutes there, but you have to worry about being berated if you're not as far left as the admins even if you're respectful.
