I have a unused RPi4 (the 8Gig one) running DietPi.
I did use it as a playground but ever since I am renting a Hetzner machine for (playground) stuff that I want web accessible, I don’t have particular use for the Pi.
I am currently running (outdated) Home Assistant on it but there isn’t much I can connect it with (yet, getting the flashable/compatible ikea smart lightning zigbee? bridge thingy is on my bucket list).
Obviously I do have a pihole there.
Shoot me any other ideas I could run there.
Some kind of monitoring of my rented infra would be cool (I already have uptime kuma on the dedi hetzner box). One idea I had was if there are some OSS security scanning “daemons” I could use on to monitor my other infra.
Make it into a router and access point. Connect your phone to the AP and use tcpdump to capture packets from your phone for a few minutes. Look through the packets with Wireshark and see how much data is being leaked.

Luckily I already have a OpenWRT based router here (https://turris.com) and PiHole that says 22% of traffic blocked, not a small amount indeed.
When the otherhalf plays games on her phone i watched the blocked % rise dramatically.
