We recently created an audio server. Spotify and the like are nice, but we found that there was a large amount of music we like which wasn't on those platforms (or if it was, it wasn't the version we liked, etc).
One cheap Raspberry Pi 3 and large reliable usb storage later and we have our own streaming service. The option to stream is only available locally (didn't want it discoverable on the internet at large).
On the note of you having children, and not knowing their age, I would also suggest a Minecraft server? No idea on what it actually takes to host one of them though.
- kbenson 9y agoActually, a Minecraft server isn't a bad idea. My youngest (at 8) is obsessed with Minecraft on the Wii U, but the worlds he creates and hosts on that are only available when he runs that game and hosts them (even if he has lots of friends on the platform that connect). I'll have to look into whether the Wii U connects to regular servers or only Wii U specific ones and whether I can host a dedicated one. I actually have a Pi as well I have't used yet, but was thinking of tinkering around with Redox Os on that.
