Ask HN: For what purposes do you use a Raspberry Pi?

Hi HN,

motivated by the recent top post on longevity tips for a Pi[1], I'd like to know what you are using it for.

I myself use one as a NAS to store personal documents. It runs Openmediavault[2] to provide a SAMBA share. Once per day, it runs a backup[3] to a 1 TB cloud storage[4], which itself comes with automated backup snapshots.
