What to self host with a GTX 1060? (piefed.social)

Got a new PC handed down to me. And now have my old one collecting dust. It has a dedicated GPU (GTX 1060 6GB VRAM) i guess the most obvious thing would be an AI model or maybe jellyfin (which is currently running on a raspi 5 just fine for), but was wondering if you maybe had other suggestions?

Honestly the easiest use for a PC would be to remove the GPU (if integrated graphics are available on the CPU), and to host things like community game servers for your friends (or maybe something like a self-host chat server for Teamspeak/similar).

A GPU of that caliber is not ideal for those kinds of workloads (although it'd work fine for media encoding).
