I guess the only one that I feel strongly about is Echo VR. Although I think it is possible to still play that through 3rd party workarounds? Can't imagine the community is there in the way it was before Meta decided to pull the plug on that one though.

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.

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.
