Tempest: Transmit Radio Waves via a PC Video Card with No Extra Hardware
The RaspberryPI can use one of it's IO-Pins to transmit a stereo radio signal including RDS (https://github.com/miegl/PiFmAdv). It's probably illegal in most countries.

Ask HN: What software did you purchase that positively impacted your family life
I’m planning on using MagicMirror (https://magicmirror.builders/) to do this in my kitchen but without the mirror part (just a TV mounted in a niche on the wall). Did you build your software from scratch?

/u/KaiserTom breaks down the results of SETI@home, the big data citizen science project from the 90s/2000s
You can still participate in distributed computing projects, just check out Science United which is one that uses BOINC for the project management. I've got it running on my Raspberry Pi (which primarily runs Magic Mirror so its nice to let somebody else get some benefit since its primarily a relatively static display). Also, Folding@Home did do some of the research into COVID, so it is staying up to date.
