I got this shit for Christmas. Wat do?

Use it.

Install Gentoo on it.

Hack the internet.
Defend yourself by installing firewall lvl6 encryption.

>>58231158
install gentoo

>>58231173
idk what for, I don't really need to run any servers. Maybe use it like a NAS?

Emulator machine

>>58231266
OOh, good idea!

>>58231158
first, stop being a retard

we have a /sqt/ and SBC thread, post there instead

>>58231296
thanks for your response

The intended purpose of a raspi is to buy it, not know what to do with it, and then make this thread every day for the next year.

>'I just got an rpi, what do with it' is a future /g/ meme
you heard it here first

>>58231336
It has been a meme since consumer SBCs exist. You're late.

>>58231327
This one does have built in wifi, so its a little more useful. But yeah.

>buy empty laptop (just monitor and keyboard)
>connect rasp-pi to it
>have the coolest laptop ever

Was my Netflix machine and I barely had to recharge it. Used some old gutted 2005 laptop

There are hundreds or project ideas you could use with it. Including guides on the internet. Think of what you want to do and make it happen.

>>58231440
pics? Sounds cool!

>>58231158
DIY home security system.

>>58231183
i did this with mine

now i dont know what to do

>>58231490
No pics but I found a guide online back when they first came out however many years ago.

It was literally an old laptop with a rasp-pi connected through the back to get to the monitor and keyboard.

>>58231512
Compile glibc.

>>58231158
hook up a bunch of random sensors to it and make proto-robot abominations until you run out of give-a-fucks (aka never).

Or try making a really, really light wearable/AR system with it. It will suck but you'll have made something.

>>58231158
Drink coaster

Create a cloud

>>58231260
>NAS
>over a 100mbps NIC that shares its bandwith with the usb ports

I would just get an SBC with gigabit ethernet and a sata port or simply an old LC for that purpose.

>>58231158
NAS, Tor AP, home automation, security system, etc.
use your imagination

>>58231158
Sell it and buy an odroid c2

>>58231158
Stick it up the ass

>>58231973
Odroid c2 has a gigabit ethernet btw

fap.

>>58232231
?

Home automation, pi hole, home server, emulator

>>58231158
Install retro pi

>>58231158

>connecting a laptop monitor to a pi
Bullshit. Almost all laptop screens use proprietary connectors and probably have some of the hardware attached to the motherboard

>>58233625
he put in a new screen :-)

You pathetic heretic, burn some incense ligt purified candles and praise the Omnissiah for having friends and/or family that gift you with a precious gifts of technology no matter how small.

>>58231158
Plug it into your tv and use it as a glorified chromecast or games emulator

poisin tap

>>58231594
you mean compile libreoffice and firefox

Buy an RTLSDR dongle to turn your Pi into an ADS-B receiver, then sell your data to flight tracking websites. (jk most of them just give you premium membership for free)

>>58234586
glibc was always the thing that took me the longest.

>>58231158
put in blender and blend it

If you like vidya games do this
>>58231266
>>58233552

>>58231158
Sell it and buy an ODROID C2.

Use it to build a suicide machine and kill yourself.

>>58231158
Install gentoo then get bored quickly after.

>>58231158
RetroPie, OSMC, UPnP server, NAS

>>58238229
There are cheaper ways.

>>58239705
What, are you trying to save money?

Everyone already knows how to do it with dental floss.

>>58231769
The newer Raspberry Pi models STILL share the bandwidth between the USB and network traffic?

>>58239705
The point is to have fun.

>>58239744
Yes and the best part is that instead of reusing an SoC they actually developed a custom SoC. The only difference between the RPi 2 and 3 is the CPU which most people don't give a shit about.

>>58231158
>buying something you don't want just because its cheap and every retard buy it

kill yourself

>>58241768
Buy != get

>>58231158
>Wat do?
Get Pi NoIR, make a web cam, add tracker, be alerted to people before they arrive.

Add a SDR-RTL, get alerted by cell phone signals appearing in range to see people trying to hide.
