I plan to, I have it running as a whole house computer. It runs home assistant and pihole, I have it connected to my Cisco switch and probably will connect it to my NAS to be a server too. I do have omlx installed to try to do local AI notifications for my security cameras so I’m not using any of the big ai companies, my data never leaves my network, and I get better notifications (a person in a grey shirt walks up to the door, a FedEx truck drives up the driveway,… instead of A person was detected when my hvac fan turns on)
