From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Failover for essential services (e.g. DNS) so you can take the primary down without issues.
Post it to me?
3 thou.
Homebrew router?
I put 3 of them into a proxmox cluster with multi network plugged into the WIFI m.2 A+E slots so they can act as router and other servers and I can migrate from system to system when/if I need to do maintenance.
I was thinking that... Have you tried this?
Yes - I have been running IPFire on an old desktop for several years now and I really like it.
I used an old thin client as a pfSense firewall for years... but the DSL into passthrough mode and effectively made that a modem, so in effect pfSense *was* the "router"
If you don't have something like that, it's a step up from a standard ISP one.
Not sure about long term power consumption though...
Docker host?
I run docker on my nas. (Openmediavault)
Could turn it into a emulation box, play some classics.

I've tried it twice but can't seem to get the feel for it. I thinknit might be overkill for anything I need.
I was about to say something snarky about VMWare, but... Proxmox took me a bit to get used to, but now that I have it figured out, I really like it. It's totally overkill for me, but one day...
Scratch machine to test Ansible playbooks for maintaining and restoring your other servers.
Flip it for cash.
