As a complete beginner, what can I do with a raspberry pi 4b?

I’m basically completely new to networking and currently setting up a NAS. I have this raspberry pi 4b that I got but now can’t think of a use case for it…

Any ideas of something that is very useful to host or have running on the pi4b?

Edit: I’m a complete beginner, and will use trunas on another server with jellyfin so my raspberry pi gets blown raspberries atm 👎

    10 commodity SSDs through a powered USB hub forming a poor man’s NAS with snapraid + mergerfs

    How did you end up with this setup? Did you just already have a bunch of SSDs from over the years? That’d be cool af if you posted a photo of it.

      Here we gooooo, the king of all junk setups.

      Yeah, I’ve collected some used disks over the years.

      The housing has been drafted in FreeCAD and then sliced out of scrap plywood.

      And yes, the temperature is okay.
