Is it capable of hosting XMPP, IRC, Email and a simple website altogether?

    i run homeassistant, pihole, 2 projects of mine using NodeJS, nextcloud, a very simple static website and Nginx for some DNS customization like pointing nc.home to a specific port. My pi is a 4GB one and for now the used RAM is not even 1 GB. I run debian with no graphical interface

    Yes.

    Xmpp, irc, email and websites are all pretty small in terms of resource usage. Where you’ll have problems are with heavy compute workloads like 3d rendering, AI, 3d gaming (sorry, no crysis), and crypto mining. They all can be done on a rpi but not done well.

    There are a lot of factors that go into whether a big server like Google will accept your email, it’s so much work that it isn’t worth it unless you really have to. Just “self host” on proton mail or something

    I have mine hooked up to my PS2 with a dead disc drive to serve ISOs over the Ethernet port. It hosts a samba share so I can just dump ISOs from any device on LAN.

    Sure it can, but it depends on what software you run and how much load you put on those services.

    You can fit lots of stuff in 4gb of ram. Just pile on services till it starts running low.
