Had the pleasure of sampling a PJD at Andertons on the weekend. You’ve made a very, very good choice.
Another vote for Asrock Deskmini. I’ve had an A300 going for a while now. It started off just doing a few things on Docker, it’s now been repurposed as a Proxmox host. The nvme plus 2x 2.5” sata is very useful for storage options, and you can put some reasonable desktop CPUs in - subject to cooling, of which you can get a very low profile replacement if you need to. As there’s no video on the motherboard and no space to fit a PCIe (let alone the video card) you are restricted to CPUs with onboard video, which I think is more of a restraint for the AMD version than the intel, but even so there are enough options in the AMD lineup if you need firepower.
+1 for the ‘selfhosting’ communities.
If the battery is so shot it’s basically tethered, you could use it like a server. My gateway drug into that world was spinning up some Docker containers to do some of the neat things others have suggested (media server - Plex/Jellyfin; DNS adblocking - Pihole; home automation - Homeassistant).
Not so much supernatural, but a few in the less socially-included clique thought of themselves as rats. Grew nails long, scurried about, and most weirdly - hung out and ate lunch in the bathroom. It went on for a few years, well into sixth form, and ended up requiring a prefect to patrol the bathrooms at breaktimes to make sure they weren’t up to anything.
Oddly enough, I haven’t heard anything about them in school-reunion-type chatter.
Jane’s ATF. I’m sure it hasn’t aged well.
