I've got a Lenovo M720q running as my main server in my home and it's more than powerful enough for anything I could be doing right now. However, I also have a Le Potato lying around that I'd like to do something with. Any suggestions?

DNS resolver, like pi-hole, unbound with adguard, diversion, etc.
RMS server: a lot of Remote Desktop software has the option to install a listener on a low power device elsewhere on the network that can use wake-on-lan to access computers within the network without keeping everything on 24-7.
Log aggregator: would be useful for anyone who troubleshoots stuff regularly, but historical info of any kind can come in handy.
Simplest form might be a scribe server. Network gear often has an option to send logs to a particular URL, so if you added the scribe server IP/port to the field you’d have historical network logs.
Additional loggers could also be run on-device, such as a wifi connectivity checker or a Fing server.
If you have a smart home setup, you could also log state data or energy monitoring history at a particular interval, or run a homebridge or homeassistant instance.
