It's been my impression that Mastodon users are a bit more techie than most people.
So I'm curious to know just how techie, and today's question is:
Do you have a server in your home?
If you want to tell me what you use it for as a reply, that would be interesting.

Well that was an interesting exercise. Many thanks to all of you who voted and replied.
It confirms my impression that Mastodon folk are a techie bunch, though possibly not quite as techie as the results suggest as I would have thought techie people would be more likely to engage than non-techie people.
Pleased to see that Windows servers are so rare.
Interesting to read what people use their servers for. Media streaming seems to be a biggie, but Pi-hole and home automation are also popular.
One other thing I learned is that defining what a "server" is is far from simple.
Many people were using Raspberry Pis rather than the big hulking boxes you'd traditionally think of as a server.
@martinvermeer The company I work for, for starters.
But apparently not many people do at home, which is nice.
