What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi?

Pi-hole for ad blocking.

Is it easy to set up SSL on a PiHole? I wanted to get Adguard home setup (similar to Pihole) but the complexity of setting up secure connections and I'm like, "yeah, nobody in my family is going to be able to fix this if something happens when I'm not around".

If you have a 3D printer that can't connect to the internet, you could try Octoprint.

I recommend setting it up with a let's encrypt cert via tailscale, that way not only you get a proper cert for free without opening your pihole to the internet, but also you get a way to use it when you are not at home, but if you are using a raspberry pi 1 or any other pi from the SD card I recommend using Log2ram in order to preserve the SD card
Edit: forgot to add that you should install zram-tools and run
sudo dphys-swapfile unistallon a first gen pi since the low ram can increase the tendency to swap especially with unbound and that can also kill your SD card prematurely

Might be worth a shot but unfortunately Octoprint recommends at least a Pi 3. I tried it myself on a 2B and had nonstop issues with print quality from stutters while the Pi was sending gcode to the printer. As soon as I swapped to a 4B the problems disappeared.
