I'll dogpile on here with my uses:

- AdGuard / PiHole - Plex server (plus the whole suite of *arr -- I gave up Netflix during the password sharing debacle) - Home Assistant (I'm on a huge data-ownership crusade this year) - Stats tracking for my car (TeslaMate -- this is such an amazing piece of software cannot recommend it enough if you've got a Tesla) - general tinkering

I'm currently building a house as well and I plan on deploying a way more complicated networking setup (full-ubiquiti) so I can get rid of all my internet-connected security devices (cams and doorbell for example).

Honestly... I used to build PCs (I still do when I need one) and now this fills that gap for me. I spend way too much money on it and it makes me happy 'cause I'm having fun. I get to tinker and break things in the privacy of my home. I get to learn about Linux administration (this is honestly the least fun part) and networking.
