I repurposed my 2008 ThinkPad as a server, saving it from the trash for yet another year!

What do you run on it?

Running Zoneminder so my GF can keep an eye on her shop from her phone (without paying someone a subscription).

My sister gave back an old hand-me-down computer that I had given her years ago, and I did the same thing. It's not the best or the fastest, but it has an ethernet port!

Currently got it set up with a (somewhat jank) Jellyfin setup, as well as hosting some of the Discord bots I create.
