@gomi An idle VPS doesn’t need to go to waste you can put it to work in several practical ways. One effective use is setting up a monitoring tool like Uptime Kuma or Prometheus to track the performance and uptime of your websites or servers. This helps you stay informed about issues in real-time.
Alternatively, you can turn your VPS into a secure VPN server using OpenVPN or WireGuard. This allows you to browse the internet privately, encrypt your traffic, and access geo-restricted content globally offering both security and flexibility.

Don't have a lot mostly because I don't have a use. I've got a static ip, gigabit at home and 24/7 servers at home so limited use for vps beyond shielding IP.
My gut feel would be seed linux isos (actual ones) because I like helping people....but most providers aren't down with torrent traffic - understandably.
I run an Archive Team Warrior on every 'idle' VPS I have: https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-dockerfile
It's really easy to setup and you help to preserve the internet. Yes it does cost some bandwidth, but since it's idle anyway, why not use the resources? It's very low on CPU and MEM, so even 1 core and 1GB is sufficient.

If it is truly idle you don't use it

Use one idle VPS to ping another idle VPS, so that both of them become useful.

I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

I pay @VirMach for them religiously.
My pronouns are like/subscribe.
Feel guilty, eventually cancel to save money, which frees up money for me to buy other VPS to idle.
Finally found a good use for one - getting past this new upload your passport bullsht the UK rolled out. Rest is currently idle
Think I've got 4x floating around but they're all ~12/y so no big deal
