Pfsense box, plex server, rendering stuff, fucking around with. Much funner than my gaymen rig honestly.

Backups. Nothing more yet. It really isnt a server though, just an Optiplex SFF i had lying around.

Mail server and Web server. I host images and files on it, and it's my primary email address. In the past I've used it as a game server. When I was in high school, I used to use my home server as a SOCKS proxy.

I used to use an old desktop as my server, but these days, a single-board computer is more than enough. Your homese

home server isn't going to need to be powerful, since you're probably not going to get much traffic anyway.

Enjoy not being able to send messages to anyone of value sourcing from a residential IP

Haven't had that problem in practice. Every email I send gets where it needs to go.

I want to build a server partially to learn more about networking and also to stream music and back up some files. My storage needs aren't extensive so I'm thinking I'll repurpose my old laptop for it. Anyone tried this?

SMB and Plex

>Anyone on /g/ have their own Home Server?
I thought we all had our own home servers.

you're the "home server" where all the boys hold their large things inside OP

I have a home server that is hooked up to a motion capture suit so clients can ping to my server and get a body position from anywhere in the world, my routers is fwding all incoming msgs with a certain port to the server.
