Hi! Ok, this might sound like i am going to bash all these machines people seem to have in there houses but i am just curious. Myself i have a mac mini from 2011 a macbook air which is my daily computer and a very old pc from 2009 which i have linux on. I have 2 raspberry pie’s which i don’t know what to do with them and 2 ipad minis an Iphone SE and my nokia 8 for daily use. So i also have a lot of units. But i am very curious on what you all who have these nuk’s and rasperry pies and other small intresting units do with them? What can you do in regards to audio and video on these machines. Can you have for example a raspberry pie 3 as a vpn server so that i can listen through that device to bbc 5 Live which i really want to do. I guess you can have these things for many tasks but my inspiration is gone right now so i am really wondering i have to have these machines around. /A
