Running piAware for flight tracking https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/

Is there a benefit to personally tracking flights instead of querying 3rd parties?

Perhaps they are in a remote location that doesn’t have data?

I didn't know about FullPageOS, very cool. For a full stack web developer, this can give you a wide range of use cases for a Pi. Thanks!

2 RPis running Octoprint for the 3D printers 1 RPi connected to the laser cutter which I'm currently fixing 1 RPi that I take with me and connect to from my phone through ssh (moving to mosh and a Bluetooth terminal when I get the chance) 1 RPi that I leave in the lab so people can play with it with numpy/scipy/octave 1 RPi that I'm setting up with something like Jellyfin for my home media server

If you don't mind me asking, which laser cutter do you have?

- Hosting personal website from my DMZ at home. - SDR and packet radio (Direwolf) projects - Kodi - rpi zeroW with usb serial for connecting back to my house from work/travel. I had more projects, but I've been able to replace them all with ESP8266's. Rpi is overkill to do simple things like toggle a gpio pin or take temperature readings. Use it if you have it, but it's nice freeing up extra rpi's with a $2 ESP.

I am planning to build Voip server using raspberry pi. Any idea how to start with this?

My work has a really old phone system which I became the admin of. I discovered it had an audio input for Music-On-Hold, so I set up a spare RPi Zero that I had as a music player so that we'd have hold music. Low effort but wonderful improvement for work. Every now and then I go back and tinker with it to improve it a bit. (Next step is to make it controllable via a web interface.)

I have a RPi 3B+ that I use for some emulation, though I hardly ever play with it. Setting it up was plenty interesting, though.

And I have a Zero and a Zero W that I use for random tinkering/testing, both semi-permanently attached to a breadboard for ease of use.

(I've got a big list of projects I'd like to try or develop, but the above are the only things I've done so far.)
