I do. I have a Pi I run as a server where it runs PiHole, PiVPN (Wireguard), and a personal Node environment. My main use case is to have a system I can SSH into and develop personal projects. This works well because I have a few machines that I can’t develop locally. A work machine that I can mix personal work. An iPad that has no local shell (I use https://blink.sh for this). It works fantastically! I’ve made a home “Are you in a meeting” website that everyone on my WiFi can point their browsers to. I have https://tiddlywiki.com instances running there. It manages my VPN when I’m out of the house. And I block a huge portion of ads when I use it as a DNS server.

Homebrew

The missing package manager for macOS

Homebrew for Mac is super popular among developers: https://brew.sh/ And yeah they should know better. On the other hand, modern programming languages also pull libraries from all over the place without any serious vetting. This is becoming more and more of a problem as several people have demonstrated here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30679098 I bet sooner or later this will result in a major wannacry/log4j style national incident and then we'll start doing someone about it.
