Do You Own a Raspberry Pi? If so, What Do You Do With it?

I own two Raspberry Pi Single-Board Computers (SBC). The first Raspberry Pi that I purchased was a model 3B+ (1GB RAM) with heat sink, but without a fan. I use this Raspberry Pi to host two of my WordPress websites: DpNetwork & the Domain: Dancalloway.com.

The second Raspberry Pi I purchased was a model 4 (4GB RAM) with cooling fan.  I use this SBC to run my OpenMediaVault 6TB NAS and Portainer (a Docker Container application) for running docker applications across my network via a Web browser.

The daily driver used by Laurent 22 is OSX. However, the bash script that he developed for creating images that can be converted into a motion picture .mp4 file for viewing using VLC Media Player, is cross-platform and can be run in Linux and MS Windows as well.
