I have a 10 year old laptop of very low specs. I had given a detailed description of the specs and made a post regarding the use to which it can be put, and more or less everyone pointed to self hosting.
Now, if the machine is powerful enough, why not put it to some productive use ??
And so l’m exploring an unknown territory.

so what’s the question ??
Well if there is a need/purpose, by all means, go ahead!
cut-n-paste from wikipedia : Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service, as well as own servers for e-mail, IM, NTP and so on, using a private server, instead of using a service outside of the administrator’s own control. Self-hosting allows users to have more control over their data, privacy, and computing infrastructure, as well as potentially saving costs and improving skills.
Suppose l create an email service for myself and my family, can it be done using this machine ?
You can run email server on a raspberry-pi … Had that for years
I don’t know what a raspberry Pi is… That’s an old laptop of very low specs…
This might help
