Best things to host on a raspberry pi

Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I've never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it's bit of a stupid question.

I have 2 rpis and I have had running many things. Pihole, Wireguard, deluge, etc... One problem that I had is that it corrupted all my SD cards after some time. So I have them now collecting dust, and move all my services to real machines. It could be that I'm unlucky and got shitty SD cards, but I wouldn't want to install something on it that I rely to be there in case you need to reimage the whole thing.
- @elghoto @zpoex get a usb ssd, they are cheap and way more reliable than an sd
- AFAIK SD cards often die in RPis due to excessive writing (e.g. from logging), insufficient power supplies, and/or powering off improperly.
