Hello lemmy!

Just wondering, does any one know any services I should consider running on a pi5? I have one laying around not doing much, so just wondering if anyone has any ideas!

Thanks for reading!

Some services I have liked in the past are:

Syncthing if you have some storage space
A backup server
Websites and Demos
i2pd and your own i2p website/blog
Monero mainnet and Haveno
Crypto Mining to support the network not to make money (Limited to a small portion of your resources)
Game Servers
VNC on some virtual machines for a networked device
A remote containerized development environment

But there are all kinds of things you can do with some continuous computation and networking!
