Ideas for keeping a server very busy 24/7 for a few months? (alien.top)

I have an old server with dual Xeon E5-2690v4 CPUs and 384GB of RAM that I used to run before I downsized, now I just spin it up every once in a while to play with. The apartment I'm currently in has electric baseboard heaters, so I figured if I have to heat the place with just electricity anyways, I might as well use a computer. Any suggestions on what to run to keep the server relatively busy? Either something that could make me a few bucks, or something where I can donate the compute time to something worthwhile, or just something fun since I have to pay for the electricity either way. Btw if this is too low effort let me know and I'll remove the post, I didn't include much detail because I'm pretty much open to any ideas.
