I've also drifted into that way of working. I put up a Synology DS207+
NAS server (7W in standby) which runs shared storage, web server,
connection to my CH CAN bus and other stuff I can't remember at the
moment. It's predecessor, a power hungry server now only comes on to
record/play MythTV, to do housekeeping on Economy 7 rate and when I want
a native Ubuntu computer.
