I've got an old #cisco #ASA 5512-x laying around that I figured might come in handy some day.
My brother recently sent me an article to a fellow who got #opnSense running on it, and of course I had to bite.
It was almost too easy! I tracked down an ancient VGA to IDC connector, installed it on the motherboard, and then changed the BIOS around to boot from a thumbdrive. OpnSense installed without issue, and BAM I have a 7-port gigabit router with a #xeon processor, 8GB of DDR3 and a 128GB SSD.
I haven't tested yet, but supposedly these bad boys can push *almost* full line speed.
Not too bad for free! It appears these can be had online for under $50 all day long.

Checking off projects today.
Using some old tech for a new use.Took an old monitor and used an ATSC converter box to get local TV networks, then put it in our basement where we go for severe weather. Since we live in the midwest that can happen often.
Next is to look at adding a battery backup to keep the box and monitor running if a storm knocks the power out.

I retired my 15 year old #Ubuntu LTS #laptop when I bought a 10 year old refurbished #Dell Optiplex 9020 with a #Nvidia #Geoforce 1050 Ti #GPU, so I can experiment with #GenAI, #MachineLearning and #LLM.
P. S. Yes I loaded #Linux on the Dell.

Just pulled the trigger on the Inkplate 6:
https://www.crowdsupply.com/e-radionica/inkplate-6It's a six-inch e-paper display controlled by a #esp32 and the best part is that the displays are actually recycled from #kindle e-readers
