Well yeah. I do, out of necessity. I can't justify buying a pi yet. Someday I hope to.

I bought a couple Raspis before they even came out, and they're handy for certain applications, but just can't really stand up to the task for whole home server needs.

I have a RPi1B that runs Pihole just fine, and I have a RPi4 that runs a bunch of services fine (plug in a SSD, don't use a SD card).

But if you're hoping to do a photo server or run a media centre... nah. Rpis are very power efficient, but for media you really need something that's gonna suck more power.

The Raspberry Pi: When "a computer, any computer" will do. I have so many of them in service bolted to the backs of televisions or monitors as digital signage.

If you don't need the electronic side of the RPi, you might be happier with some old thinclient PC that offices sometimes get rid of for cheap.
