I have 2 original Raspberry Pi model B. I used it for a short time as a Synergy server (keyboard/mice). My future plans for these are:

* PiHole (original model should be enough) * Home automation, ie Garage door opener / automation * CCTV monitoring using old webcam (not fast though, perhaps less than 5 fps but that's good enough for what I need) * CCTV recorder (not video, but just capturing photo every second, which is good enough for me) * file server for low throughput device (or TimeMachine server) * Server/PC status display (displays server status) on TV * Prometheus, htop, GoAccess, etc... * Lo-fi player * pivpn

I didn't think that Time Machine servers could be run on non-macOS systems.

Time Machine just runs over SMB now (older versions used AFP). There’s some extra options you have to set in Samba to get it working, but it’s not that much. Setting up mDNS properly will also make it show up in the UI like a Time Capsule as well. Synology and TrueNAS (née FreeNAS) also support it (it took me all of 2 minutes to set up in FreeNAS a while back).
