And that’s why you can get a sunburn if you’re welding without proper clothing/protection.
Technically speaking nothing is stopping you from building a plasma fireplace right now, it doesn’t need fusion energy. Just grab a stick welder transformer and place couple of carbon rods carefully next to each other. That might be a bit loud, a bit bright for your living room and might set things on fire and have other minor issues like killing your wifi-signal, but it could be done.
Or if you’re satisfied with a bit smaller “flame” you can get a plasma lighter from amazon for 10-20€.
I’ve used Seafile for years just for this. I haven’t ran that on pi, but on virtual machine it runs pretty smoothly and android client is pretty hassle free.
