Mac minis make great servers. Wonderfully power-efficient, while running much faster than what I'd normally get.

I’ve been using my five-year old M1 Mac mini lately for hosting my homelab stuff and I have to say, it’s fantastic.

Using a Mac mini as a server isn’t a new concept, and if anything, the old Mini design was actually quite iconic to be seen in stacks. What I want to point out is how great they are at doing server duties, thanks to Apple Silicon.
