Ask HN: Wywd with a 256gb/40c 300tb/month server?

1•AgentMatrixAI•2h ago

ended up splurging on a huge server that I intended to run all of my side projects but have not been able to utilize it to its full potential. Basically I just wanted something fixed cost / month to run anything as much as I want.

what would you do with it other than a seedbox? its running proxmox but I ended up spending months learning and configuring it and now afraid to give up on it. it would be great if I could monetize it and keep the server going I've grown quite fond of it.

I might build another one and colocate it

Run a high-speed TOR exit or relay node if your situation allows it.

Or build your own website or service uptime detector.

Finally: mirror those openbsd and Linux distributions...and serve that up your local area.

Offer VM hosting, maybe to friends and family? Run a VPN service? Other than running stuff just for yourself, those are a couple ways I can think of to maybe monetize it.

You can create users for a VPN easily with Pritunl -- I'd offer that to friends and family.
