Not everything in life needs to be financially worth it... If repurposing otherwise "disposable" resources brings them enjoyment and it's a reasonable time spent, why shouldn't they?

Ultimately, it's not your storage space being used for this. Why not let them live?

This repurposing is of only one he owns and the novelty of reusing it will likely wear off within a couple of weeks as having an extremely weak web server is not particularly useful.

It may not be my storage space but people in this site do have a higher chance of hoarding ewaste for no logical reasons and I'm hoping that pointing this out can help people realize that they don't need to hold on to every random gadget forever.

Making something out of it and getting a hit on HN would easily be 'enough' for me. Your replies read like you've had some personal issue with a hoarder. Digging into that may help you in the long run.
