I've just read the homebrewserver manifesto, looked at the stack of unused laptops on my shelf, and I feel inspired!
What do you guys actually do with your home servers though?

Isn't Xen kinda overkill? You can host multiple sites with an Nginx reverse proxy, unless you're doing some kind of interesting interactivity.
Good luck and have fun anyhow!

How easy is it to set up Xen?
I looked into it a few times for distro-hopping but it looked a bit overwhelming.

What do you guys actually do with your home servers though?The most useful things I've found:
- Pihole to block ads at the network level (helping free lazy housemates who won't even get an adblocker from the thought-control machine)
- Jellyfin to stream torrented TV and movies, I give logins to a circle of friends so they can easily watch some decent media instead of whatever Netflix pushes on them
