Our (decades old) house web server has a home page with useful links, and in particular to a simple wiki on the same box. Without any pushing (that never works) the rest of the house has slowly learnt to use it, so the calendar, the wish lists, the pet histories, holiday ideas, all sorts of stuff are on it. The server also hosts simple apps like JS clocks, calculators and of course the [0] pewpew attack map (maybe a little less funny these days, but hey).

Edit: ref CGI, there's a few apps on there that do that as well (e.g. fish tank temperature monitor). Nice thing about a small private network is being able to do CGI scripts in bash/whatever without having to worry too much).

Schneier's post is hardly prophetic. The idea that "china is attacking the internet" is so well ingrained, that this 2-year-old fake security attack map has "china mode", to make most of the attacks seem to come from China (part of the mockery of such maps): https://github.com/hrbrmstr/pewpew
There's this https://github.com/hrbrmstr/pewpew it's as much a criticism of these sorts of security visualizations as it is a means to create them.
