Raspberry Pis really come with their own flavor of computer sickness, don't they.
I pulled one from the scrap pile at work and since then I've been thinking about what to do with it!
Many fun ideas, but the second I think about them in any way I realize that this can be done better and cheaper with either a microcontroller or a cheap (or often times free!) old computer.

@gigabecquerel I have one at home and one at work each running Folding@Home and I am objectively aware of how inefficient that is but something deep inside of me is compelling me to do it. It is wasteful (of a small amount of electricity) but it would somehow -feel- more wasteful to just have both Pis sit unused in a drawer.

Per watt, I have many, many times more compute available in my (mostly idle) Mac Studio on my desk right now... and yet!
