gollark: Oh right, calibre-web, a RSS reader and a ton (... five) of random backend services for various projects.
gollark: For example, backups (ish), notes (as a personal wiki), media storage, two Discord bots, my website... hold on while I check the list.
gollark: I have many uses.
gollark: I would run a Minecraft server, but my internet connection isn't fast enough and it uses way too much RAM.
gollark: Massively overkill for it, but it runs with a bunch of other stuff which also doesn't utilize the server much.
