"For those who wish to donate their CPU resources, SETI@home suggests users select another BOINC project that also supports distributed computing."

I loved the concept of SETI@home and ran it on a bunch of computers at my university when I was a student.

I just bought a powerful mac mini, but due to other projects arising, it sits idle. I am curious if anyone has suggestions.

I looked through a dozen or so BOINC projects, but they all seem dead. The amicable pairs project had some 2020 results and activity in its forum, but I couldn’t draw a line to any practical goal.

That said, maybe the sorts of projects that have practical outcomes don’t need to rely on the computing power of strangers.
