I’ve got a Lenovo M720q running as my main server in my home and it’s more than powerful enough for anything I could be doing right now. However, I also have a Le Potato lying around that I’d like to do something with. Any suggestions?

    Sensors. Especially sensors in your living space where fans or other noise from the proper server would be distracting, or in a tight space - inside your HVAC, for example - where a proper server wouldn’t fit.

    Media front-end. Most of those SBCs are more than enough to run a kodi or jellyfin frontend, fanless for minimum distraction.

    Robot. Low power requirement so it could be mobile; but there are lots of stationary possibilities. GPIO libraries are great for running servos and there’s tons of libraries to facilitate.
