First thing I did with mine was fuck around with Scratch because it comes with Raspbian.

Then I set up an Apache web server with a self-certified certificate.

Then I bought a camera module (and new case) and set up a website with a time-delay image that looked out of my bedroom window that I could log in to (via ssl) and view on my phone.

Then I uninstalled all of that shit and put Kodi on it.

>>56128601
Emulating what?

How well can a Pi3 run 1080p videos? Will it be problematic?

>>56128561
Gateway for external entrance to home network via reverse ssh tunnel.

>>56128695
might wanna overclock it and make sure you have a 5V cord
I use mine as a torrent box. Usually let it run all night. Had a second one for Retropie but gave it away to a friend. I had planned to build a portable game console but the screen I got has such terrible latency that you can't play action games.
For the record I purchased an Adafruit 480x320 3.5" TFT, and it sounds like all of the smaller TFTs do not have the same latency issues; only the 3.5" has issues.

>>56128665
Videogames

I've been running a Raspberry PI since 2012 to automatically create "What should I do with this Raspberry Pi?" threads on /g/ at random intervals.

Or that's what it seems like at least.

Headless server to ssh into, pretty good for my tui apps. Also gogs.

And a zero running pihole.

>>56128780
I made it because these threads are actually creative and noncancer, unlike dpt

>>56128732
I will give it a go. It's so cheap anyways. Can always use it for nes and snes emulation I guess.

I used mine to build an online controlled vibrator to use when I stream on cam4

I've purchased 5-6 of these awesome little boards over time and used them for various projects.

1. OpenELEC is a great way to run Kodi. Great home media / home theater setup.
2. Lakka is great for emulating older video game consoles from atari to playstation/n64 era.
3. I have one running raspbian that I use as a cheap, always on and silent OpenVPN server so I can browse porn at work and generally fuck around without being snooped.
4. I have another one set up as a wireless audio station connected to speakers. The project name is Pi Music box.

There are so many awesome things you can do with these.

I made a cloud out of one. It's pretty nice.

Are there really no uses for these stupid little things?

>>56129098

For about $50-$60 total (including usb gamepads), you can have an awesome retro-emulation console that emulates and stores every Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis game ever made. How is that not genuinely interesting? I have two for this purposes in different rooms.

When I say retro pi station, I mean retro. As such my planned retro pi has a 4" black and white CRT, and is mounted in a miniature arcade cabinet I designed myself. Pic related is the necked CRT.

I'm going to use an old third party Xbox 360 controller to matrix and control the control panel. 2 player with 5 buttons each in an again custom layout.


I also have a old pico projector (almost exactly the same size as the pi) that barely out preforms the pi's video quality with a qHD display. I obviously plan on setting that up with a pi for a portable media center. Both take USB power, both support hdmi...

>>56131006
Looks like the camera you used is retro too

i'm looking into making a knock sensor for my front door that would notify me whenever someone knocks in case I have headphones on in my room.

google shows results for projects involving either arduino or pi, which one would be easier to set up?

Is there a retard guide for setting up OpenVPN, I've got it installed and running, opened up a port on the pi and forwarded one on my router but I still can't connect to it.

>>56129098

I have done a bunch of stuff owncloud vpn torrent box but I also have a freenase server which has bsd/unix jails. And everything Ive done with a pi ends up doing better just sitting in a jail.

I now use it for working on things in python before they are complete and get moved to a jail.

Honestly they are not strong enough for video games unless you are poor enough that the price matters.

Hi guys,

i asked about power supply issues/rpi falling asleep or getting unaccessible after some time... I tried as advised with a better power supply - 2A from my rn3p, and it managed to last a lot longer, i think. Should it make any difference if there are a lot of thing plug into the same extender with the rpi ? The one I used first was with all my computer stuff, the second one with all the tv stuff + Router.
I can't find a decent free outlet just for the rpi to test, except on the balcony, but will do in the coming days. Would like to hear some opinion on it beforehand.

Thinking of getting a Banana Pi Pro since I do a lot more file management type stuff and I can only get 10 MB/s transfer speed on my Pi 2+, the Pi 3+ doesn't seem to be any faster due to the 10/100 port limitation and the fact the USB and Ethernet share the same chip.

If you're into web dev, run a website or cool little web app.
If you're into image processing, make a surveillance camera with motion detection to email you when somebody walks in to a room. Bonus points if you get it to not email you when you yourself walk into the room.
Otherwise, various servers, seedbox, emulator, Kodi, etc.
If you're too stupid to buy a raspberry pi without knowing what to do with it, you deserve to waste that money.

>>56133441
Maybe? I'm not sure, is it obvious how to download all torrents one by one, automatically?

I'm using mine to replace my car gps. Building custom software on Windows 10 Iot. Not impressed with performance tho (pi 3), but it's better than my current shitty one.

Windows UWP is pretty sweet tho. Map Control, Speech Synthesis/Recognition.

Hi guys. I have absolutely zero experience on servers and all that kind of stuff so I might just ask in this thread.
I've been thinking to buy some space on HostGator to finally make my own webpage. Can I use a Rasperry Pi instead? Is it a viable/better alternative? Is there something else related to my website I can use one for (I only have money for one at the moment)?
Thanks in advance.

>>56133874
mine has no lights on it, but i tossed a dead one that had it all in it, as the ballast was shot, and the tube had a crack, sadly. i retained the body so i can make a battery back for camping, with a USB converter on it, for powering phones or LED lights. Mine's got AM/FM, OTA/Line-In TV (Mono A/V & the 3.5mm inputs), with a nice battery bank on the bottom. i paid $8 at a Salvation Army thrift store in my area that turns up some treasures.

How does this Pi-hole work?

Do you need to have a switch or something? How do you add the Pi to your network?
Can you just connect it to your router via WiFI?

>>56128561
I use it to VNC to my server to watch the server and the Pi is connected to a TV mounted to the wall.

i use mine for dc++

>>56134153
sheeeeet

people still use dc++?

can i join your hub? how are the speeds?

>>56133984
>Rasperry Pi
Fuck
I have done that is not difficult but think about why do you need a sever ?
Is it worth all the risk?
>>if yes
Use a ddns is free and it works pretty nice

>>56134178
>people still use dc++?
Not that anon, but it's my main source of pirating.
Primary hub I'm on has: 20mbit upload speed and 2TB share required, TLS encryption and around 1000 users.

>>56134232
>20mbit upload speed and 2TB share required

u fucking wot m8

>>56134178

it's just a few people on a private hub, nothing too exciting.

>>56134244
Most people have closer to 4TB shared and 100mbit speeds, so it's been talk of raising minimum requirements actually.
If you donate hardware (mainly in the form of harddrives) to the servers or dumps you can get vip for a year with no uptime/sharing/speed reqs.

>>56131037
Raspberry Pi because there is a lot more documentation.

>>56134289
ill stick to private trackers, thanks

>>56134099
you assign your router or device's DNS IP to the RPi and it blocks traffic coming from ads. It's like adblock except you don't have to run it on your computer/device

>>56134323
but how do you connect the pi?

im a little confused here because the pi has only 1 LAN port, so do you just plug it straight into the router or how?

>>56128561
I have it in a drawer and don't use it.

>>56134335
>do you just plug it straight into the router
yes

>>56134355
k thanks.

can you connect it to a router via WIFI? it should also work, no?

super pitendo fag here. with the pi it's not just about the current, but the voltage. i was having stability issues with my oc'd pi with a keyboard+gamepad connected, and it turned out the pi was only getting 4.8 volts, even though the output from my PSU read 5.0 volts in a multimeter. i tried different usb cables with no effect, so i guess all my cables are shit.

luckily i had bought a regulated switching psu for the project and thus i was able to tune the output voltage until the pi was getting just shy of 5.1 volts. after that i was unable to make it crash after a 24h burn test @ 1350MHz. you can find similar psu's for 5 dollarinoos at chinkexpress

Twitter developer portal has built-in rate limiting to attempt to prevent this sort of thing (Such as limiting GET requests to 75000 per 15 mins)

I have one set of twitter developer keys for each core of the R.Pi's. This way, each Pi can run 4 datamining scripts in parallel, one for each core.

Im still in college. Hoping at some point Ill have a large enough DB of social networking info I can just sell it as a service and live easy.

Its already pretty neat. All the data is kept in a MySQL db. I can do things like search for every user living in california who speaks arabic who has the name Ahemd...

Not that I care who lives in california or speaks what languages, but certain people care about that sort of thing and would pay good money for a database with aggregated social media information... I mean anyone from law enforcement to advertising analytics corporations would want access to a service like that

This is probably the first time someone has actually done something useful with their Pi. Useful as in, he puts 40$ into the Pi and comes out with a thousand.

I don't know much about rare VHSs and such, bought a Star Wars collection box though. I have also bought some books I wanted.
The ones in my city(and probably everywhere) are a gold mine for audio equipment. I recently bought a 5.1 receiver for $40, I also have bought speakers and and a vinyl-player earlier.

Do you look for anything special? I mostly look at the technology departments. I hope that I one day find a Model M there, but so far no luck with that.

>>56134706
>>56134711

Not OP, but I'm pretty sure small companies don't have the amount of money that twitter or other companies demand for selling their mined data. If this guy sells it for cheap, it'll make him money.

yeah kodi or something. or just buy a laptop ya know

>>56134706
I think that the NSA doesnt sell the information in their database. Im not competing with either of them, im jumping on board with them.

If you know a service that anyone can pay for and have access to information like that, please point me to it.

BTW, twitter analytics doesn't do this for its clients. It supplies aggregate information as to the effectiveness of tweets and promotions

found a French Canadian Model M about 3 years ago in an old junk shop - dude was selling 3 keyboards for $10, so i bought that, a boxed IBM KB-8923, and a Logitech (that wasn't working, i found out later). pic related. as for VHS, i look for anything with an obscure company name, as well as things like old monster movies, old horror, anime, etc as they all run a better chance of being out of print or a rare variant, due to being licensed distributions

>>56134817

>>56134881
sometimes, make sure you know where to look - the junk shop i came across on Facebook (in my province, craigslist isn't very popular, with people instead selling via Facebook Classifieds/Flea Markets), as i threw up an ad asking if anyone had any old keyboards around. An old dude messaged me back and asked me to call him. so i did, we talked and he said he had one clicky one there. i asked him to turn it over and tell me what the label said.

Although, besides the fact of it costing money, it looks like a much more suitable API to have built the project around than the Twitter Developer API.

s'all good, just on here shitposting etc lol. i do love this lil monitor - gives a very crisp image with the Pi, and when you force 480p, it is very legible, so was no need to run in 240p (but the text size in that resolution made me nostalgic for the Tandy 1000 EX we had at my school growing up).

could do it easy enough if you know how to loonix.

that is unless there is a better way of doing all this, I don't know about.

Was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm having a little trouble with this diagram that I'm using as a guide to wire a switch to a rasberry pi inside an NES.

The white and blue cable that go from 5v and ground on the power switch to the rasberry pi, what are those cables and where do I get them?

The guides I'm using mention nothing of this, and the parts list they had doesn't have it either.

Sorry if that's a dumb question - I don't really know much about electrical things but I thought this was a fun project to do for my friends and myself, so I decided to take a crack at it.

>>56139305
I believe you are asking for female pin headers? The cable is just copper. Probably easiest if you've got a soldering iron

>>56139383
Hmm, could you elaborate? I believe you are correct in that I need the female header to slide into the slots - but where do I get those cables?

Like I said, I don't know much about electronics - should I just find a white wire and assume it's a grounding cable like in the diagram?

>>56139305
You need a mausberry circuits shutdown circuit. Get the bring your own switch version. It will come with the wires you need.

>>56139422
There's no special kind of wire you need to use for grounding wires. I'd just grab a spool from a nearby electronics shop.
Since it looks like that's powering the pi, try not to get one that's hair-thin -- about as thick as a paperclip would be good. Actually, a paperclip would also probably work.
I had to do some GPIO testing the other day and used some staples that were sitting nearby. Most conductors are pretty similar

>>56139485
I've done this myself.

Any reason to run Pi Hole over an ad block extension? My mobile devices have ad block as well.

>>56139439
Did I fuck something up then? I ordered the mausberry circuit switch, the one recommended in the guide.

But mines only came with a blue and white wire - which looking at the video, it seems like it's the equivalent of the blue and green wire in the diagram (GPIO 23 and GPIO24).

The red circle is where the 5v and ground cable is supposed to connect to a resistor, and then to the 5v and ground slot on the rasberry pi.

But, since I know nothing about electronics I'm a little confused about which is the right wire to use. :(

>>56139522
For reference, here's the video I was looking at which also has links to the parts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Peo5wX1NU

>>56139522
Color is like comments, connections are like code. It doesn't matter if a blue wire or a red wire goes from pin A to pin B, just that pin A and B are connected

>>56139522
Nah you got it right. In the diagram the blue and green wires are the blue and white wires in real life.

>>56139553
>>56139550
So then the part that confuses me is...where the fuck do the 5v and ground wires (blue and white in the diagram) come from?!

Based off what you guys are telling me, I've connected everything correctly so far, but I still don't see how the other blue/white wires connect to the rasberry pi. The ones that came with the circuit have already been connected, but I just don't know how to get the wires that connect the 2.2k resistor to the pi.

Thanks for all your help!

>>56134585
Where did you find the script, did you write it yourself?

>>56139586
Those are for your LED.
No problem.

Looks like they go on +5V and ground. I'm pretty sure these will all be internally connected, so it doesn't matter which particular +5V and which GND you choose

>>56139620
LEDS are polarized so positive will need to go to the 5v pin.

>>56139620
So I guess I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be, right?

Just go to some electronics store, get some wire and solder it on like this picture, then plug it into the raspberry pi in the right pin?

Again, I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot but I am using this as a learning experience and intro to electronics.

>>56139636
Yup, that's it.

Yeah any of the 5v pins and any of the ground pins on the header are viable choices.

Thanks again!

>>56139689
Alright, for the other anon who was also helping

Cool shit to stick on RPI GPIOs?

I've got like three sitting around doing server things but the pins are woefully underutilized.

I'm considering hooking up bunches of LEDs / other stuff but I can't think of anything else that's sitting on my desk that I need software control for

I use mine to test network setups.
I host my website and use DNS to get a free domain for myself.
It is a lot of fun.

how/where to measure the input voltage on the rpi ?

SOMEONE BUILD A SUPERCOMPUTER PLEASE! LOL!

I wanted to make a portable wifi cracker with mine, but touch screens for it are too expensive ;_; they cost more than the entire fucking pi

>>56134585
cant you just do that with threading on virtual cores?

Already using a pi zero for that

What the hell do I do with this? It's literally a paperweight right now

>>56131037
Pi is easier, Arduino is cheaper.
The raspi is kinda like using a hacksaw to cut potatoes. Sure, it works, but it's a bit overkill

>>56139977
Is pi strong enough to even run one wifi card as AP and the integrated one as a sniffer?

>>56139997
build an arduino out of it XD

Can you install any linux on the pi? Or only selected ones?
Like if i went to the ubuntu website right now, downloaded the latest ubuntu for destops, can i install it on the pi?

>>56140018
It needs to be compiled for ARM7 architecture. A lot of distros will give you ARM binaries but I wouldn't rely on it

>>56140027
shit that sucks.. why can't pi just use a normal achitecture like all other computers?

>>56140011
I'm actually not sure. Would love to try it though

>>56140037
Because it's low power and cheap

>>56140037
There are some similar boards that run x86_64, but they tend to be a lot more expensive.
Google shows me the intel UP at $99, which is actually cheaper than I was expecting

Shitposting unit reporting on

can pi3 handle live hd tv recording from two usb tv cards?

>>56128561
Wrong approach. Decide on a project, research requirements, buy parts.

>>56140162
nope, the pi cpu isn't like computer cpu, it's garbage like the ones in smart phones

I don't have a Pi, but a C.H.I.P. It's pretty neat. Like a faster RPi Zero with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I use it to learn kernel programming and created some Wi-Fi related things (honeypot, automatically connect to open networks and change SSID, automatically connect to open networks and print 999 penises on every network printer etc.)

>>56140370
How do you make honeypots ? I'd like to make a phishing wifi network like Piratebox does. The problem is that Piratebox, like Emptybox, can only serve static files. I need to serve a dynamic website. The best would be to use Python Flask but it looks like these pirate networks have been built in the idea to only serve files, not "services".

Which Operating System is best suited for the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3?

>>56140559
Raspbian

>>56128561
Have a pi3 as a kodi/emulator station, moderate overclock.

I also have my old pie and a noir camera module running security pie with an IR light all enclosed in a waterproof box, needs more configuring to be of use to me though.

Most companies are run by retarded normies.
They don't know shit beyond smartphones usually.
They also usually hire some college-dropout retard for their computing needs if they need them.

>>56128607
How? I should do this.

>>56128662
How did you use the camera module? I cant use mine.

>>56128561
I'm an app developer and I use mine as a test controller. I have a multiport USB hub connected to it with half a dozen different phones and tablets connected to the hub. From my PC I send tests to the Pi, the Pi sends the tests out to the devices, gathers the results and sends them back to my PC.

atmega is easy too
one atmega that detects knock/doorbell press and sends it wirelessly to another one that sets off alarm light/buzzer
how hard can it be? you can run it on battery

Just got a used Pi B 1st gen.

Made a Pi Hole, and made a separate SD for OSMC which to play back movies on our dumb tv.

>>56141699
Have you never seen the sort of retards that get hired at your average company?
They are fucking dense. I'm not even kidding.

No wonder actual people of worth have a hard time getting hired, all the dropout fucktards get hired for much lower wages. (or the pajeets)

Not saying I had this problem, but a friend did have this problem for like 5 years.
Dude was almost on the verge of suicidal depression.
Luckily he found a good job near where he lived and has gotten said company far more work than they ever would have with those retards most people hire.

And that includes even Government positions.
Most of a typical Governments IT solutions are hilariously bad, coated in so much regulation tape you can't see the fucking computer, and are done by a room or 2 of these sorts of fucking retards.

Quite literally just a man-in-the-middle adblocker.

You can even do realtime virus scans, malware site and other things like safe browsing list scans so you can use it and disable it on your devices to save power and CPU cycles.


You can even go full-on and write JS browsers for devices that have limited or horrible browsers. (consoles, handhelds, etc.)
Just make sure to kill off frame buster JS, get rid of x-frame headers and such.

I did this in Chrome for a page i called combosite.html
I have a bunch of pages iframed just for checking up on things quickly and all at once.
Some sites are dicks and determine you are on a mobile site because small resolution, which is annoying and wrong. (fucking 4chan does it too, but at least it is visual only, not blocking entire features from you)
