I've got a Pi running Pihole as a network wide add blocker it also
is my networks DHCP server and it runs Wireguard VPN server. Whenever
I'm out and about my Android phone will automatically connect to
the VPN. 
Another PI is my networks NTP server which is disciplined by a PPS (Pulse Per
Second) signal provided by a GPS locked oscillator.
I have a dedicated Pi just for Amateur radio digital modes. I've used
Pi's in the past dedicated just for monitoring our Allstar (Amateur radio use
of Asterisk) Network. Also I'm using one as my media player (KODI) connected
to my TV. Yet Another Pi is an audio recorder that records all conversations
on our local amateur radio network. All done with bash and spectrograms
created with SOX 
Oh and I'm using a Pi instead of the "big" computer system when the 
temperatures get out of hand and I need a cooler solution ;) to
keep the ambient temp down in here. That one happens to run my
gopher server as well

I guess you can say I'm a fan of those little guys
