As a complete beginner, what can I do with a raspberry pi 4b?

I’m basically completely new to networking and currently setting up a NAS. I have this raspberry pi 4b that I got but now can’t think of a use case for it…

Any ideas of something that is very useful to host or have running on the pi4b?

Edit: I’m a complete beginner, and will use trunas on another server with jellyfin so my raspberry pi gets blown raspberries atm 👎

    Big +1 for second hand corporate mini PCs

    They’re cheaper and better in every way than the Pi

    Only get the Pi if you need a specific HAT or GPIO. And even then get a zero.

      Or if you want to run the machine via PoE.

        There are machines (like the Futro s740) that can be powered by POE as well.
