Jeff Geerling did an interesting project with the raspberry pi 5, to be a set-top box(*), but his parts cost came to $110 which is dangerously close to that of an N100 mini PC. So unless you really want to stay inside the raspberry pi ecosystem, I don't recommend.

Ooh, there is an idea... I had planned to just stick a USB microphone out the window for running Birdnet, but an IP camera with sound might open up some other fun possibilities.

I have a shocking number of blank and unwritten CD-R and DVD-RW disks. I can't think of any practical use for them that isn't already served by my NAS. Somehow I still have this weird impetus not to throw them out.

@vees

Who know when you might need to make a debian install disk to boot a laptop from 2005.

Another practical use not served by a NAS would be for playing music in an automobile with an OEM stereo manufactured between ~1995 and ~2010.

@ai6yr @vees

but yes, I also would feel guilty just throwing out a bunch of blank disks.

spouse complains about the alarm clock and our coffee maker slowly drifting apart.

me: "I once read this article in a early 2000s Mac magazine about how this thing called Bluetooth was going to synchronize all these things"

spouse: "it exists, it's called a smart home, and we choose not to have one"

me: "... yeah, but it was, like, without the targeted advertising"

Oh, that would totally be fine for our purposes... but like 'atomic clock coffee maker with an insulated carafe' seems to be a very niche product.
