This may be a good place to ask for advice, since I'm new to running a server myself and am now looking to set one up with old hardware I have lying around. I have a raspberry pi 5 lying around and an x230 laptop + an expresscard to pci-e x16 converter (I used it to run games with a GPU), which of these would be more worth it to invest in? I would like to run a file server with some hdd's in raid 5, and use it to stream media and maybe run a Minecraft server. I would need a pi sata hat or a pci-e sata card.

Does it run on electricity or do you have to throw coal in it somewhere?
One of the founders of Fairphone is working on a European alternative phone OS called Mobifree, which is also open source. Google free Android also already exists.
Use cases are generally problems with very large amount of factors that are not feasible to calculate with normal comouters, think about chemical/medicine simulation and logistics optimization or public transport timetables.
Thanks a lot! I was thinking the old laptop would be more powerful, but an extra card to pci-e and sata interface is worse from a reliability standpoint. I'll go check out the selfhosting communities :)
