What else to run on a RPi? (lemmy.zip)

Hiya!

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B set up as a print server, so it has to run 24/7. But it irks me that it's mostly idling.

I'd move my website to it, but I don't want to deal with it being open to the internet. The same goes for an e-mail server.

I was also thinking of running a Minecraft server on it. (Being able to play on the same world from different devices is kinda cool.) Alas, my RPi only has 4 GiBs of RAM. I worry that such a load would interfere with the print server.

Any ideas what I could run on it?

Typically a web browser or dedicated app, but it's open source so there are options. You might be able to stream directly with VLC, not sure.

    You can use VLC if you get the stream url via a web browser, first. MPV can do the same.

    The problem is VLC/MPV don't have a built-in way to browse and pick what you want to play.
