I prefer to think of and use my RPis as home network appliances, things that can run hassle-free. Examples from my house are: Pihole - Adblock for all wifi devices Shairport - audio airplay target Plex - media server My family members and I simply use these services without even knowing/remembering they're hosted on a RPis. If it requires tinkering or isn't permanent, it goes on a VPS. Many of the examples listed in the post are things that I would simply host on docker, a VPS or in a VM.
