Hey folks! I recently brought my old Lenovo Yoga 500 back to life after it was bricked for a couple of years. Now that I've got a new laptop as my main device, I'm looking for some worthwhile ways to utilize this old machine. Currently, I'm just using it for Discord calls and browsing, but I'd love to explore more interesting or functional uses for it. Any ideas?

You can turn that old laptop into a home server! I have mine set up as a file server, and it works wonders. You could also run a web server or even use it for remote desktop access. If you're adventurous, try installing Linux and set up a Plex or Jellyfin media server. It’s super handy for streaming your media from anywhere!
Thanks for the tips! I'm not very tech-savvy, though. Could you suggest any guides for setting up a home server? I'd love to learn more about it.
