What can I use my basic VPS for? (lemmy.ml)

I just started renting a basic VPS through Racknerd with the intent to use it as a reverse proxy to point friends to my game server instances running at home without exposing my public IP. I could not figure out how to get it to work so I gave up after days of trying and am now using playit.gg. I prepaid for a year of the VPS. What cool project should I try on it now?

I've found that GoToSocial and Calckey both use a lot less in resources than Mastodon does.

Akkoma is also much lighter on resources than Mastodon is.
