Reuse old server for a youth center

Hi I'm a volunteer in a youth center. Some time ago, their organization switched to OneDrive and their old server got shelved. I thought it would be a waste to just throw it out, but I'm not sure what to do with it. It runs on an outdated system (CentOS 7, I believe), but otherwise works fine.

I have dipped my toes into Linux, but I am in no ways an expert.

So I would like to ask for ideas, suggestions or maybe just some pointers. What is a fun way to use a server for a youth center? While I'm at it, any ideas what to do with this?

Use it, donate it, sell it? I'm not trying to profit, by the way. Selling would mean to reinvest it into new equipment for the kids, whatever that may be.

I also have a bunch of Lenovo ThinkCentres and old or broken Notebooks at my disposal.

Weird popping noise

Hi,

I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre with Linux Mint that I use to play music. Sometimes, when there's supposed to be silence (because YouTube paused the video or something), this weird popping noise appears. It disappears whenever there's music playing and even when I open the sound settings, but re-appears whenever there's silence. The device is connected via aux cable to an amplifier. This happens on two separate devices.

I don't know if it's a Lenovo issue or a linux issue, but it's quite annoying.
