So far my server at home is running as a file server, torrent server, media server, and random desktop instance. All of this really isn't taking much resources and I feel like I'm wasting the server's potential. I've thought about nextcloud, pfsense, game server, but I suppose I'll need to brush up on networking as I don't really want to get hacked.. does anybody have some more cool ideas on what could be run?
Any more ideas for my homelab? My server can take a bit more computing

I would not worry too much about running a website locally. it is better to leave that in the cloud and not have it as a point of being hacked at home.
I would not worry too much about the server not doing much. that is why so many NAS devices have 2-4 core CPU's and low memory. the at home use case is not like it is at work.
My Unraid server is ~ 20% utilization because of the 5 cameras that I capture video with. The rest is really low utilization.

That's a pretty cool idea. I wonder if any of the cryptos pay for running a node.
There are some, usually called masternodes but they have a high initial investment cost.
