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.

+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).
