Raspberry Pi 4B (lemmy.zip)

As a complete beginner, what can I do with a raspberry pi 4b?

I'm basically completely new to networking and currently setting up a NAS. I have this raspberry pi 4b that I got but now can't think of a use case for it...

Any ideas of something that is very useful to host or have running on the pi4b?

Edit: I'm a complete beginner, and will use trunas on another server with jellyfin so my raspberry pi gets blown raspberries atm 👎

Sell it

I'm dead serious. They can go for a decent price which should cover the cost of a X86_64 machine

If they've already got a 4B there's no reason not to use it for one of the many low-power low-profile uses, especially when the cost of PC components is going nuts now

idk about a 4b these days but the 5's are stupid priced. You can get a refurbed 6th gen intel machine with 16gb of ram and an SSD for the price of a 4Gb Pi 5. Add an ESP32 running ESPhome or Firmata and you've got everything you could do with a Pi and a lot more.
