I have a pihole set up with pivpn. Octoprint and a cluster of 4 pi zeros on a pi 4 to experiment with cluster computing.

I have two in use right now, one with RetroPi connected to a small tube TV in my living room (did you know that the headphone jack on the pi can also output composite video!?, I didn't until recently).

The other I have setup on a bookshelf as a model PDP-11 (from the great PiDP-11 kit). It's mostly just some pretty lights to look at, but it's also a functional PDP-11 simulator. Theoretically it could also run pihole, but my router has openwrt which has the same capability.

I've been looking for a functional excuse to do a PiDP-11 but haven't been able to talk myself into it.

I'm not sure that there can really be a practical reason to build a PDP-11 simulator in 2023, other than that it's fun.
