I recently came into a Macbook Pro, 18 GB of Ram, 1TB of storage. Its the only Mac thing I own. Its a real shame I have no idea what to do with this and it is just sitting there. I want to use it for something, but I dont know what. My homelab already has a huge host with a threadripper in it (which also fell into my hands), a pi-hole on a low end pi, and an old PC that runs a Minecraft server just fine. Any suggestions for what to do with this bad boy? I’m not afraid of any OS, all are welcome here. I tend to mostly host media and game servers, I do not have any home automation yet.

Edit: thank you everyone for the suggestions. I love this community <3

    I have an M1 MacBook Pro that I mostly connect with via ssh and it is currently running as an Ollama server, but it has run various projects over the past few years.

      I have wanted to try that, I always wondered how much world building I’d have to do to build an llm off of it to control NPCs talking. But recently with world events I have been turned off of those. Maybe I could try it though. Thats all I would want to do with an llm.
