How to use unused linux server?

[Fli]

Hello, any ideas on how i can put Linux server into use when i don't need it for anything and the prepaid term is quite long?

Ideas:
- try to put it up for sale or ask provider to delete it and partial refund for different purchase later
- help Tor network to setup a Tor bridge or snowflake proxy and later (once obfs gets banned in China,Iran) setup "relay" if its legal in a VPS country & allowed by provider AUP. It will help people access Tor.
- run I2Pd to help this anonymity network route the traffic
- setup ZeroNet proxy, tracker
- help Opennic project by setting up an open DNS server
- donate CPU resources to the science research using BOINC
- help archive important websites by running it on the vmware, virtualbox or docker based virtual machine
- run decentralized search engine Yacy
- searx search engine proxy
- host invidious and similar private proxy for youtube and similar sites.
- list of tools https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted (you do not need this likely, save time browsing that site)
- host private mirror of popular websites listed at https://libredirect.github.io/

Install proxmox, create vps and gift them to family for christmas. On a serious note you can use it as a prize for some contest on this forum.
