Unlimited servers. I work for a VPS provider and on my first day my boss setup my account with $10k of credit and showed me how to add more in the admin panel “whenever [I] need it”. As long as I’m only using things with plenty of excess capacity and don’t cause problems, I can spin up whatever I want.
Sadly, I’ve already got a rack of hardware at home, so all I’ve done so far is spin up a server with 96GB of ram and put a 2-page static website on it, lol.

Hardware depreciates.
Sell your homelab and stick the proceeds in a stocks and shares ISA.
when you leave the company and no longer have access to their hardware you’ll have the money to rebuild with newer machines
If you can spare the resources you should consider spinning up a Nethack server
Ooh, interesting. I’ve never tried playing that.
Finally you can start your own Minecraft server.
Yeah, game servers is about the only thing I’ve come up with for a way to take any real advantage of the perk.
