I'm totally naive with Raspberry Pi..can someone comment on the following project: Is it possible to put a glass eye behind a portrait of a one-eyed pirate and make its eye move around/follow whoever enters the room? A friend has a glass eye but nothing to do with it.

It's mostly just for fun.
Maybe one day I'll add some kind of analysis to it. It might be interesting to track location, motion, and car status in order to predict mileage or if the engine light will turn on.
My PS3 isn't doing so hot as a media server client for my NAS's movie library - the network connection is poor, the interface is fiddly, and it can't load subtitles embedded in files. I was going to buy a pi3 to replace it as a media server client and hook up an external DVD player, but now I'll be getting a pi 4!
I used it to monitor ADSL device status[0], also created a DIY timecapsule for MacOS[1] — these were all in the past, though. Currently the Pi is on my roof, connected to an SDR. I sometimes run rtl_server on it, and listen around. Although it's been a hassle, since I have to run upstairs and disconnect it everytime there's a storm.

2. xbmc for videos on main tv
3. retropie (I had fun with this for about a week but haven't used it lately)
4. pihole for blocking ads and time-wasting sites
5. various small projects: security camera, motorized window shade, etc.
I run Home Assistant on my desktop to communicate with a few of the other devices in the house but I might move that over to a Pi so I don't have to worry about restarts and performance. I'm thinking about consolidating this setup somewhat but I'm waiting for my next move.
