Haiku is really very different from what Linux used to be, it's single user with one mandatory GUI and lots of fairly interesting features from BeOS. Not saying this to discourage anyone from using it, I quite like it, but Linux is Linux and Haiku is Haiku.

This is great even from the standpoint of wanting to go to Mars since it means setting up camp in a cave is now possible to try out much closer to home first. Kinda like sleeping in a tent in your backyard first. Makes the moon that much more exciting to know there's caves too.

@selfhosted@lemmy.world audiobookshelf is really good and one of the most important selfhosted platforms for me. I use it for both podcasts and audiobooks through my phone's browser and avoid the need for a platform-specific app and proprietary subscription-based services.

Are there any significant Discourse forums that federate with ActivityPub currently?

only ones I can think of are some pretty simple Lovecraft-themed games with XCOM-style turn-based tactical gameplay

Things like Freenet or ipfs where your node doesn't provide just networking but also storage.

Could be too obvious to mention here but a fediverse instance of some sort, lots of different software you can run besides the usual suspects like Mastodon or Lemmy/Kbin ranging from the more niche microblog platforms like Misskey forks (writing this on a Sharkey instance) to things like Bookwyrm for tracking your reading habits and connecting with other book lovers.

Distributed computing like distributed.net or Folding at Home.

It's can be a useful server with a built-in UPS if there's any services you'd like to isolate from the rest that you're running. One example is backups as you want a backup system to be fairly well isolated but anything sensitive would qualify.

You could also make use of it for purposes where the hardware can speed things up, I think that GPU could help with encoding etc.
