Hey! So I have two spare computers, with 7th gen i5s and 16GB of ram. What would be the best way to try and monetise them? I’ve found one or two websites which allow you to rent out your servers essentially as a VPS on a fairly long term way with a decent payout. However I tried sending them an email and got no response. Are there any other such services?

    Another angle to consider is the liability of you being responsible for the content on your system. Someone could rent your machine to host very illegal content. At which point, as far as the authorities are concerned, it is coming out of your IP from your computer. You might be able to explain it away, or you might not. It’s not a hassle that’s worth the while.
