@ablackcatstail @nisegami

I'm a big fan of the "sure, I'll take that laptop you just replaced" school of servers. I run Jellyfin on a 2012 MacBook Pro (running Debian), and Home Assistant (and things that support HA, like Zigbee2MQTT) on my mom's old Presario (also Debian). Since these are just running inside my home network for my own use, I don't need anything high-powered (though the MacBook is beefy, even if 11 years old).
