What's a fun project to work on with the Raspberry Pi? (lemmy.ml)

I thought about using my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ as a NextCloud server, but research told me it would be too slow to be useful. Any cool useful projects I can do, without any extra purchases? I'm extremely low on money currently.

I like the mail server thing, but I've read on Hacker News that its a headache that is unworth it. Spam emails will flood the server, and my own emails will be sent to the spam folders of other people. Any experience with that?

Many ISP will block email sending from their network anyways, so yes not worth the effort.

I set up a mail server for a project. And just had to write with t-online. And I think I got on their blocklist because I did a mistake in configuring the dns records accordingly. All the rest worked fine following a good guide.

When I have a personal homepage I will do a mail server, too.
