Edit: So one is definitely going to be the Proselytizer Library Stick (OK I need a better name for it, fine). Going to test out some Debian options on there, just need to find a nice way to make it a user friendly portable library/reader, so feel free to mention whatever comes to mind there as well.

But I have more of these little suckers, so thats just one for now.

So I’ve got a few Intel compute sticks sitting on my desk here, and I don’t know what I want to do with them (aside from throw them out, I’d rather find some value in them if I can).

They are STK1AW32SC, which have the atom x5-Z8330 chips, with a whopping 2gb ram, 32gb emmc, and a microsd slot.

A few things I’ve considered:

• Take a few LCDs and the drivers and make a “household front end”, basically just point to my locally hosted services (mealie for recipes, hass, etc)
• Same thing but make it a digital picture frame
• Compute to point to a magic mirror instance
• Try out how terrible emulation is on them to make a little game console for the kids thats standalone? They already can use the living room one for that, which is a usff box with a lot more power. So probably not.
• Automatically boots to rick roll to stick in TVs at my BILs house and drive him nuts?

Open to ideas! I’ve got tons of machines here, so I really don’t need them to do anything - which means the silly and borderline stupid (see rick roll note above) are perfectly acceptable ideas.
