Alot of us who have a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 might upgrade to the Raspberry Pi 5.

Doing so would leave us with 2 Pi’s. What are some great use cases for the older Pi, that would no longer be the main machine?

I have 2 pi 4. One of them runs Vaultwarden as my self-hosted password manager. The other runs TPLink Omada SDN management software to manage my switch and WiFi APs.

I’d add a 2nd Pi-hole (sounds like you have one already?) for redundancy.
