I'm unfortunately currently in a situation where I don't have a lot of options for activities and find myself somewhat bored... What do you do when you're bored?

Play video games - Cataclysm:DDA or Dwarf Fortress (tho I stayed on the pre-Steam version as it's lighter on the CPU).

Learn a new programming language at https://exercism.org

Read a book - tons of free ones around the interwebs, legally or not, as you desire.

Install a new operating system. Try Haiku or OpenBSD. See if your phone is compatible with PostmarketOS. If not, Termux + SSH + port forwarding in your WiFi box, set up a webserver and publish something. Host a Gemini pod.

Learn a craft. Repair something that another person would toss. Start a sourdough culture - it takes a week to mature (read up on how to do this right), then bake a bread. Homemade bread is approx 16× tastier than run-of-the-mill commercial stuff.

Take a walk somewhere you haven't walked before. Find the nearest forest lake and arrange a picnic. Take someone with you on the 2nd trip.
