might host a shared library of ebooks since I live with lefties, but what else could I do? i'm gonna run it on an old laptop and it has a mic and webcam, so there are some creative possibilities here

      I’m not sure if there’s dedicated software for hosting your own library but honestly just having a local web server that lets you download epub files is probably just fine.

      yeah, even just having them in one spot so any of us can grab it from wherever in the house on any device

      what's the home automation stuff?

          It is pretty cool what you can do with these little things, I initially bought it to use it as a retro console. But I lost interest in that pretty quickly so it had been gathering dust for some time until my other NAS ran out of space, so I thought do I really buy some expensive pre-built NAS again or just try out this little guy I have lying around? It surprised me how well it actually works most of the time, although I recently noticed that I too sometimes have issues serving 4k content, even though my player does the decoding/transcoding, but that could also be some other bottleneck on my network.
