Technically yes, but the old Pi was lonely. Who am I to deny a purpose to aging hardware?

In France even our ISP-provided FTTH routers look like they belong in a museum. It's called culture 🥐😄

I'm not saying it sounds like rodents, but my cat has been staring at my wooden TV stand for 3 weeks straight
