  • The most private seems like a small media player. It would make music more personal, but that also may not be ideal in this situation.

    I’d probably just get an old phone that can run LineageOS, strip it of any apps I don’t want the kid having access to and put a simple launcher on it so they only have the apps I want them to have access to. Bam, cheap locked down music streamer. If the kid asks why it can run Spotify but not access the internet, I’d say it’s because it’s a music player not a phone, or something of that nature.




















  • I just bought one to use as a Magic Mirror dashboard. I can’t think of any other real use for them other than as dashboards.

    I like the Volumio idea though. You can set up a Music Assistant container and get a whole home audio setup without having to run a bunch of speaker wire. At my old place I had an Apple TV airplay movie audio into the kitchen so you wouldn’t miss any dialogue while you ran into the kitchen.

    Edit: Really specific hypothetical. If they’re powerful enough to run Kodi, and you have a travel homelab with Jellyfin/Plex, I wonder if they could serve as a travel streaming stick 🤔
