  Y'all need Jesus and stop hoarding/idling 😂.

  Jokes aside,

  If you got free time, this is the best thing ever.

  @chihcherng said: You can set up a tier 2 (DNS) server for the OpenNIC project (https://www.opennic.org/),

  Every VPS provider that I know of, explicitly or implicitly bans open DNS resolvers, even if you promise to implement the config to significantly limit DNS reflection attacks.

  Would be nice to learn of low-end VPS providers that are okay with OpenNIC nameservers.

  I have three VPS idling, so I traded one for a donation to Wikimedia Foundation.

  I remembered about archive team so I've installed there docker container and am helping the archiving efforts

  Good idea. I have the Virmach $8.88 special and I'm now running ArchiveTeam.
  The box has 2 CPUs and "fair share" is 33% (i.e. 0.66 core), so I set the CPU limit on Docker container to be safe.
  As for bandwidth, 2000GB can last a long time.

  Only URLTeam 2 works. Others are broken...

  May be nextcloud as a google photos alternative

  Nextcloud is a Dropbox alternative that is not limited to 3 devices.
  I've been using Bacloud Nextcloud and it's getting slower and slower.
  Maybe I need to install an instance myself...

  Huginn (basically a self-hosted IFTTT): https://github.com/huginn/huginn. n8n looks fancier but isn't as sophisticated as Huginn. I've used it for monitoring subreddits for new posts containing particular keywords, via Reddit's search RSS feeds.

  Backups of your home PCs. I store all my backups (both of my home machines and of all my other VPSes) on two separate storage VPSes with two separate providers. For backups from Linux clients I use Borgbackup and backupninja (https://0xacab.org/riseuplabs/backupninja, apt install backupninja on Debian) to do daily backups to one storage VPS, then I have a cronjob to rsync the entire backups directory to the second storage VPS. Borg is encrypted, optionally with both a password and a key file, and compressed (with zstd for best compression).

  Photo gallery apps (self-hosted Google Photos alternative)? Photoprism just released their first 'stable' (non-beta) release a few days ago.

  Cloud file storage (self-hosted Google Drive alternative)? Seafile is excellent.

  This looks good .... I use IFTT .... Will have look into it
