Just found this in a box and according to some Googling, its TPD is 6.8w!!! Got Debian on there with LXDE but I don’t need another laptop. The big drawback is that it has a 32bit processor. It has a 100mbit network port, USB2.0, 2gb RAM and WiFi which isn’t working but is listed in ip -a
I’ve used it to add wireless capabilities to my ancient Brother laser printer but it was extremely slow ( 15 mins before a text page started printing, PER PAGE)

I have a netbook from 2011 and I use it as Pi-hole and Jellyfin. You can add a backup system as well. Just go with headless Debian, you’ll need every bit of CPU. Then you can just ssh into it and do everything like that.
A 100Mb connection is not that bad IMO. Lots of people doesn’t have a much better uplink speed.
Backup server
this is the most responsible idea. i love it
Beware that you won’t have ECC, so corruption is much more likely than with proper hardware.
Is that an issue when using Borg for backups? Doesn’t it checksum everything at each operation?
Definitely i2pd.
I loved the eee series!
Maybe AdGuard Home would be cool. Its a modern way to block ads via DNS (like PiHole, just newer)
Seedbox, tor bridge, i2pd node, pihole, wireguard…there are a lot of things you can run.
