Raspberry Pi Project Ideas

[Daftlander]

So on impulse I picked up a magazine with a raspberry pi zero w on it. I Velcro-ed it to the back of an old dell monitor and now it's up and running...

 

But now what do I do with it?  

 

I thought about making it into a VPN server, or maybe a cheap Kodi box but the monitor it is attached to is too crap to make that worth while. 

 

Any ideas?

PI's are very good learning tools, if you have never played with Linux i high suggests it.

I personally use mine as a low power file server. But it's a pi 3 ( not a pi zero) , and im the only one using it ( the usb 2.0 and 100mb lan are limiters )

I use mine as a thin-client for accessing my RDP servers. Works well attached to the back of my Dell UltraSharp (some old 4:3 model).

I had a PI and put a FreeNAS server on it, easy and loved it, also helped me out alot. Until I grew out of it and had to build a full server for my needs
