Raspberry Pi 5
I've been using one for https://pikvm.org/ and it's been a rare case of "the Raspberry Pi is neither ridiculously overpowered or ridiculously underpowered or beat out by any off the shelf solution, let alone at the same price point". It's literally the best IP KVM I've ever used or owned. The use case is almost a perfect match for the exact hardware capabilities of the Pi: hardware encoding, video input, gigabit network (with Wi-Fi alternative, which has saved me a few times), GPIO, USB OTG, the hat system, open source web KVM software which doesn't suck ass and sit untouched for 13 years with endless security vulnerabilities piling up.

Making a Linux home server sleep on idle and wake on demand – the simple way
Another option is to control a power-hungry NAS with a PiKVM device.
Got the idea from this youtuber[1], he has some nice ideas on setting up a home server.

Totally blind software engineer, searching for a motherboard for a CPU heavy workstation
I think it would be better to explore standalone KVM options like the Asus card on in another motherboard, it just seems to be a standard BMC chip, or something like the PiKVM (https://pikvm.org/) - I think it would make life easier for you if you could find an external solution that works - meaning you could potentially plug and play it on other devices as needed - or even buy multiples.

Any actually useful uses for Raspberry Pi and alternative sbc?
So I got a Libre AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) to play around with but all the ideas I see online are about emulating games, running a nas, running ad blocker, vpn server, 3d printer, website hosting. All these just seem like these would be better to run on an actual server or the ideas are lame, basic, and overused. I just want some useful things that only these single board computers can do to justify their purpose. I like stuff like the PiKVM or wireless usb like VirtualHere. The Arduino has their spot for robotics and what not, but what do SBC have to offer besides being small and broad purpose? Stuff like can I make it auto start my car in the morning, attached it to a pcie port on my pc, make a cellular wifi hotspot modem thing, make a smart tv, make a robot with AI, bypass wifi router settings, make a smart door deadbolt or smart window blinds, AI caht bots, transmit landline calls to the internet, drones with facial recognition, spy balloons, kiss under the bicycle racks in walmart, watch the rat movie that cooks food, ratatoot toot, overthrow the government? Those types of ideas are stuff I see as useful but also I want to look up later if those are something that exists already.

Desktop Sharing to work from another computer
It's not a kvm as you're imagining it. The topology would be your work computer plugged into pikvm, say. There's no fucking about with anything on your computer or moving cables around etc., you simply access your work computer from a browser session on any other device - in your case your computer.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
I make one that I put a lot of effort into documenting:
https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot
It's pretty easy to extend since it's just Python and vanilla HTML/JS/CSS, so there's not much of a toolchain to install.
You can buy it pre-made for $399 or make a DIY one for under $100.

Ask HN: Any Hardware Startups Here?
Took me awhile to remember what it was called, but TinyPilot [^0] by mtlynch is pretty cool. Michael sometimes writes about running a hardware business on his blog [^1].
