I’m running a homelab server already that’s more than capable of running everything I want and more. I’ve got nextcloud with stun/turn, arrs, every fediverse platform, navidrome, peertube, the list goes on and on. I’ve been working on it for a while and it’s stable and happy.

BUT…

I just got two new UN100P Mini PC’s 12th Gen N100’s 16GB DDR4

I’ve no idea what to do with them. Is there something useful I can do with these that could compliment my setup somehow? I was thinking maybe using one to run my game servers (minecraft, whatever) as they’re kinda a pain to run behind my VPS and only game with friends.

Seriously though I feel like I’m at a loss. I have a ton of overhead on my homelab setup still. What would you do with them?

    Yeah DMZ game servers are a good idea. I’d image one with something immutable, get it all set up and then “have at ye!”. If someone pwns it you just yank the cord. Since they are identical you can have them both set up, someone owns it, you yank/replace and your friends just go right back to it.

    If I did something like this I wouldn’t even ssh into them, just have them in some dark corner with a small kb/m/monitor. Totally different subnet.
