Make it a home backup server:
Step 1: allow ssh
2. put in usb drive or hard drive connected by usb
3. set up chron job to backup a folder from the sd card to the drive
4. use rsync to send files from your laptop

End result is three copies of your data, two of which are not on your laptop.

I actually recently thought about this

You know how with cars, there's two buttons, lock and unlock? Well why can't we have a similar system with house door locks?

You know, have a raspberry pi set up with a transceiver, have it lock the door when sent a signal, have it be unlocked when sent another signal.

I was just looking if anyone already did this or not.

>>58141085
If your budget for something that can do light programming is under 50 bucks, then a RaspberryPi can work for you. Most of us have multiple PCs and just meme the Pi for small projects that most of us never actually do or have a real use for.

You'd still need peripherals like a keyboard and monitor of course.

This. I have a pi I never use because I have a desktop, two laptops, a nas server, and a box full of parts with which I could probably build another computer or two. If you don't have this kind of surplus the pi would be okay for writing basic server apps and the like.
>>
>>58140734
it could be somewhat slow for that and I would not recommend nobody to write that much dat on the sdcard, they are prone to failure, specially if they are cheap sd cards.
>>
>>58141597
I write to the sd card because my files total in the megabyte range.

Backing up directly to a hard drive (or two) is also possible.

But you are right I should have mentioned that.

>>58141663
Can you use the same software you would use for the pi on the odroid? The XU4 looks like a beast.
>>
>>58141698
Yes, but it uses a lot of power (compared ot a Pi) so it isn't very feasible.

>>58141746
Depends on the software in question. Most linux distributions with ARM architecture work with the XU4, but distros specifically designed for the Pi likely won't.

I'm genuinely curious, what's the point of a Raspberry Pi?

>>
>>58142070
It's lacking a lot of features, though. Like proper networking or SATA ports. that excludes many potential uses.

The way I see it, you might as well buy an Atom/Celeron Mini-ITX board for 10$ more and have a lot more options.
>>

It's an entry level consumer product. It sacrifices features and markets itself on ease of use for beginners instead. No one said it's cutting edge or superior, it's just a cheap first car for new drivers.
>>
>>58142005
>Why not just use one of those?
Because you already have spare shit to use you dope.

The PI was created as a cheap learning tool as an entry point to computing/electronics/programming. Not for faggots to buy a fistful and post on the internet about what to do with them.
>>
>>58142068
>How to make your shit not marked as spam?

Set up your mail server properly so it can't get hijacked by spammers. Failing to do so will get your server put on blacklists, which take a while to expire. Make sure your DNS has SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records set up.

There are mail stacks that you can install like iRedMail and MailCow, that will handle all the setup for you, save for the DNS bits.

>I ran usenet on mine and it was a shit experience. Actually works decent with torrents?

Seems to run fine for me.

>The throughput is just to shit. I rolled my own pfsense box with VPN. I reach 800MBps in throughput.

The throughput probably is shit. I don't use it as a forwarding VPN, I use it as a "traditional" VPN, for the purposes of accessing my local network from a remote one.

If you're hosting this on a residential connection like me, you might want to check if your IP is listed here:

https://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/

It might already be listed under the PBL, which is a listing of consumer pool IP addresses. Most mail servers will block these addresses. If that's the case, you could use a "smarthost" that will forward your mail on your behalf. A service like MailJet will give you come bandwidth for free, usually more than enough for a personal server.

If you do this, thought, you'll have to be very careful you don't wind up becoming a spam relay. These services track spam reports very closely.
>>
>>58142162
Some email providers blacklist residential IPs, which means you need a proper static IP to reach them.

You'll probably need a dedicated USB charger for your Pi.

You need one that allows for "transactional email", that's what's it's called when you send them individually and for a specific purpose.

You'll also need to configure your SMTP server to relay to that host, but most of smarthosts provide tutorials on how to configure their services with postfix.

okay so i just undusted my pi 3 which i have barely ever used since i got it after hearing about kodi

now i want to know which "OS" is the best to use for kodi? currently on osmc but it feels kind of clunky. i was thinking maybe libreelec is faster and more snappy since it's just a barebones kodi "OS", is that so?

also, any other cool things you can configure to do in kodi other than playing your media and using media addons like exodus?
>>
I have Retropi, OSMC, and Debian all on the same SD card and use it as a little media center. The Debian install is just so I can use Moonlight stream and play games on my PC from my living room. Picked up a USB ethernet adapter for this because it's a bit faster than the Rpi2 onboard one. I also have a USB coax plug and set up OSMC to use as a DVR, writing to a thumb drive.
>>
>>58143078
That's the same reason i picked up openelec at first, but switched to OSMC because it let me use perl to automatically download the latest TV schedule without having to modify and compile it myself like i would have had to do with openelec. I guess it's just a question of hi what you want from it and how willing and competent you are at getting it to do it.
>>
>>58143078
I've tested xbian, openelec and raspbmc on rpi 1 and only xbian ran satisfactory. Now I've moved to rpi 3 and xbian also works great. I haven't tested libreelec, so you may want to try that.
>>
>>58134505
I'm using one with a hifiberry for Runeaudio. But it's sort of wasted on it, since the Pi2 does the same job Volumino (or the other way round, I can't even remember).

I use them to play videos in "Escape Rooms" that I build puzzles for. Python's "pexpect" library works great for controlling omxplayer based on GPIO inputs.

For seamless transition between videos, I open video 2 and pause it, then open video 1 and let it play. then when it is time to switch videos I just unpause video 2 and close video 1.

FR24 and ADS-B are both publicly available flight tracking sites that plot planes on a map. All it looks like you're doing is adding both their data together.

No seriously, what the fuck is the point of your project?

>>58147287
The main advantage of the raspberry pi is portability and capability to interface with physical objects at a low level. This "project", assuming it's legitimate, is as of right now a complete waste with no reason to exist. Other anons are right to be suspicious that it's a malware link in disguise.

Damn you really are retarded.

I'm literally receiving those radio waves and decoding them in real time, plotting the approximate position on a Google map.

Also I said I FEED FR24. Meaning they use my data to power their website, not me using their data to power my project.
>>
>>58134505
Used them in my Advanced Operating Systems class. They ran simple Rasbian. We made a few modifications to the Linux kernel, final project being adding binary code-singing (we leveraged the module signing already in place in 4.4, just extending exec to tap into that system).
Lot of fun, great little device. Can't believe how fast it is. And 4 cores! But still, compiling the Kernel took like 1.5 hours each fuckin time.

honestly the CHIP is a significantly better solution for a lot of (headless) tasks these days. much more is broken out on the board, comes with storage, wifi, and bluetooth onboard, and is already compatible with li-ion batteries. only downside is no HDMI by default, but for use in projects it's quite a bit cheaper and easier to use.

Yep, you need a PSU.

You can pretty much just raid old computers that were about to be thrown away for that though. It doesn't have 4-pin CPU power and it uses around 10W, so literally any ATX PSU works.

RAM should set you back 10 bucks, yeah.

And it's bigger, but it's much more versatile and powerful.

kek The Raspberry Pi 3 has a fucking custom SoC yet they didn't make any significant changes except the CPU. If they had added native SATA 6gbits and 1gbit ethernet only then would I actually consider buying one.

Emulation. My endgame is pic related. For now it has just two gamepads and with Retropie I can emulate everything I need.

Honest question from a non-Pi owner

It's my understanding they're decently capable little machines now, on par with old Atoms

How the hell do they get away with no heatsink, not even a passive one?
>>
>>58167409
who the hell buys them, and where do you sell them? ebay?

>>58167487
Same way how cpu in cell phones don't have heatsinks.
>>
>>58167500
But the CPUs in cellphones (at least metal ones) just use the case for passive cooling, the Pi is straight up bare chip
>>
>>58167500
Normies in town and on eBay, people love them, small, shiny black box and it just werkz
>>
>>58147067
that is super retarded, why would someone think this is a good idea?
>>
>>58167487

Does anybody make a water cooled heat cap for a RaBbi ?
>>
>>58167563
There's no reason you couldn't DIY one

Better idea: mineral oil immersion cooling

Interesting, what media player do you put on there? Why don't people just roku or something of that nature?

I use XMBC and Popcorn Time, also I'm a respected tech guy in town so I'm like "hey, use this instead". Also it's a bit more useful than a Roku

Gotta look professional enough for them to trust it, too bad OSMC/XBMC doesn't have any working netflix app, normies eat that shit up like flies to a dogshit.
>>
>>58167835
Popcorn time setup with alternative sources works just as well
>>
>>58167834
If it works, why not make more?

>>58167853
Ever tried putting android on them so you can lure them in with apps and games? maybe add a joystick too.
>>
>>58167363
maybe in a few more years they can replace a 2008 gaming pc

I let my brother lean C using my PI and use it to scrape 4chan.

or maybe i should better say a 2004 gaming pc, heh

I'll look into that, thanks man

>Expensive
fuck me, I don't even live in burgerland and that doesn't look expensive at all, is everyone browsing /g/ this poor?
>>
>>58168182
For an rPi case, it is from what I've seen. And I'm not poor by any stretch of the word
>>
>>58168182

Well, many of them are NEETs or high schoolers LARPing. Then again, there are people here who make mid-six figures.
>>
$9 for some black plastic case is kinda steep but yeah i agree, it's not very expensive.

Everyone on /g/ is prolly a neet lul

I know you can find way cheaper pi cases, but that one particularly doesn't look bad and if it provides easy access like other I've seen, the price isn't bad.

>>58168203
>>58168219
Also I guess you can get cheaper shit all around in burgerland and most poorfa/g/s roaming here can stretch that paycheck easily.

$9 for a piece of plastic is pretty expensive. You can get most pi cases on ebay for a little over a dollar (picture related).
>>
>>58168393

Any of those cases EM shielded?

I used to work for an engineering plastics compounder. Add more than 2.2% carbon to Nylon-6 makes it conductive and EM shielded. More is generally better, but just above 2% is the magic number. We sold a lot of EM shielded resin to Tier-1 automotive suppliers for car ECU cases.
>>
>>58168435
no idea honestly
>>
>>58140458
>>58139042
Probably pesos. That's like $80. Seems reasonable
>>
>>58165917
Did you buy one of these kits? So damn tempting
>>
>>58134505
I'm thinking about using one as a local DNS server because why the fuck not, it should speed up the browsing experience a lot.

But I wouldn't have any other uses for it, so I haven't got one yet. Maybe the pi zero is perfect for my needs, I even have these micro USB to USB adapters flying around because I got a ton of these a few years back for a few cents.

Gave them away as well and blew minds that way, can recommend 100%.
