My point wasn't that there's a reason (though, obviously there is), but specifically that their "stable" names can still change easily. So it's not even that useful
The predictable network interface names can change after adding or removing a PCIe device if the system firmware decides to renumber the devices. See systemd issue 33347.
Old small desktop towers. Powerful, very open (so I can run my NS infra and WG server and bridge on there, and easily have them redundant), and very extendable (need a 10G NIC or SFP+? Plug in a PCIe card!), and easily replaceable. I now have some old Cisco APs, which will be for my 2nd Home, so I can use my FritzBox as only a modem. In my 1st Home, I'll hopefully soon actually have fibre in addition to using my dads FritzBox as uplink. And I could add a Mobile Modem too. There, I don't need a wireless network, as in contrast to my 2nd Home, that infra is only for servers, to which I can just connect from my dads network/FB.

Need to update and rebooz them all tho, because there's a new kernel for testing.
