Are Raspberry Pis fun? What are they used for?

No, nothing

>>58353771
they are only fun for big guys.

Any single board comps that don't suck?

they're main use is to make normies look intellectual and quirky with le emulators
i use mine for pihole and vpn purposes which it does sufficiently well

>>58353771
intellectual masturbation

>>58353771
just use it for any shit that has to be always running i.e. small twitterbots or whatever shit you want your python script to crawl the internet for.

>>58353771
I use mine as a webserver i host all my projects on. It's really neat to use. I am not really sure about Raspbian the OS that it comes with, i just ssh into it, so not sure about there.

But for the most part, it's a nice little toy for cheap.

>>58353852
>pihole
iptables with hipster.js front-end? Wew lad, definitely needs a dedicated hardware for it.
>vpn
Australian internet speeds

I'm using mine for web hosting. Nice little tool, which can be running 24/7 and doesn't break your bank, because the power consumption is so low. Surely not everyone can make good use of it, but sometimes comes in handy.

>>58353771

I think they're fun. You gotta have an idea of what you want to do before buying one. I have a few Rpi3s. Retropie on one, Kodi/Openelec on another in the bedroom. I'm currently setting up a minecraft server for my little cousins to play on. I want to build a barcade in the next few months. There are lots of things you can do with them, but like I said, you need a plan. Otherwise you're just wasting money.

Why do so many people use a VPN when you can do the same thing with simple SSH?

You can set it up in like a minute, lock it down by only allowing key based authentication, then on your client you tunnel through whatever ports you need inside your network.

VPN seems overkill

I bought it, put kodi on it and that's it.

never owned one but i did take an old ps3 and turn it into a linux box

These are like arduinos. If you have to ask what they are for, you shouldn't buy one.

If you google Raspberry Pi project, there's an entire website that showcases things people have done with them.

Some people use them for storage with external hard drives. Other people make emulation stations with them. You can start doing kinda nifty things with the external tech bits that can be used with it. There are even touch screens you can buy that work with the RPi.

>>58353771
Anything you want to run 24/7 with minimal power consumption and not needing too much processing power. And the pins can be used for lots of cool stuff. Arduino is often a better option for simpler/more specific tasks, because it only needs you to set up the single program it's running and not a whole operating system, and it's much cheaper.

How low-power can you get a Raspberry Pi to operate?

Like, the TI MSP430 (Launchpad) can run in crazy-low power modes. You can configure it to wake up, say, fifty times per second, or once every ten seconds, or whatever. So, you could build something like a car alarm with crazy-low power drain most of the time.

Can you do similar things with a Raspberry Pi, or is it only really suitable for constantly powered (i.e. wall current or a running car's 12V) applications?

>>58359770
C.H.I.P.?

>>58364480

>>58361162
raspi is completely different from arduino

>>58366884
It doesn't even run in l0onikks

alot of people use them for robots, usually controlling one or more microcontrollers like arduinos

My team is working a system that uses about 200 of them spread all over a building to perform indoor real time mapping of small Bluetooth Low Energy tags on bracelets and badges and things.

At the moment I'm working on refactoring our code to work entirely off a ramdisk so the root fs can be mounted read only and hopefully eliminate the sd card corruption we've been seeing. Ansible-pull is really cool.

I got it running with no bugs in wine on arch in two evenings or so of research. Needs a 32 bit wineprefix iirc, and something involving dx9. I remember following a tutorial from like 2008 and downloading a couple of random DLLs from some site. I was going to try and duplicate my steps so I could stick them on the vg station wiki but never got around to it. Still might though- i had talked to an admin who uses Linux when I hadn't gotten it yet and he said he had never gotten it working when he tried, so there's some motivation for me to document.

No idea about arm ofc. Guess it depends if wine has a build for it.

>>58369641
I think, there is documentation on winehq site. At least it states gold or platinum support.

>>58354511
Don't fall for the Odroid meme, especially if you are buying a first device of this kind. Pi's userbase, software quality, guides count and software support significantly outweighs any hardware speed that odroid has to offer. For example, last time I checked, RPi has open source video driver, while odroid doesn't offer gpu acceleration on Linux desktop, just on Android, let alone the source.

>>58369939
Pi has fucking proprietary bootloader. That's it.
You mostly won't give a fuck about video drivers on a sensor-collecting microcomputer or web server.

>>58353912
>iptables with hipster.js front-end? Wew lad, definitely needs a dedicated hardware for it.
Of course, because that way you'd get an adblock for all your devices, not just computer.

>>58353771
Some of the easy use cases include your own vpn (if you have unique IP), media center (watch twitch tv), play retro games (retropie; e.g., playstation 1, sega, etc.).

I use one pi connected to a small 5$ color tft display to show various stats like room's temp, humidity, desktop's cpu and memory usage, current speed of data that goes into internet from all devices connected to the router, etc. But you typically need to know programming languages like Python to pull off custom stuff like this.

>Are Raspberry Pis fun?
No. They only save you money if your time is worth nothing. They're also completely locked down proprietary pieces of garbage.

Yes, I just reactivated my rb pi 1.

I run the following services on it:

Torrent client over a VPN (deluged + deluge-web + openvpn). The service is reachable over a browser within my home network do manage the torrents.
Headless Jdownloader connected to my.jdownloader.org for downloading from filehosters.
Kodi that hosts all files via upnp to the local network. I can connect to the upnp service with other kodi as clients in my network.
Lighttp to host a small welcome page with links to all services. I redirected a subdomain from one of my domains to this server for easier access. E.g. home.bla.com -> 192.168.0.XXY
Obviously additionally SSH service for management and samba for accessing the files from my computer.

Although my raspberry is an old version with only 512 mb ram, it manages to host all those services.

>Then why would I ever learn how to use a system that I'm not sure what to use it for in the first place?

You shouldn't. Only a dumb-ass would. However, not everyone is unsure of how they might use one. They were originally created with hobby electronics and DIY tinkering in mind, as well as a potential, and very affordable (therefore accessible to nearly anyone) teaching/learning tool for programming, aimed at children.

As for that, it's a noble enough goal I guess, but it was kinda pointless, and really hasn't caught on for that anyway. Instead it quickly become a fad, and most of the units sold were destined to be played with for a few hours, or maybe days, and then end up sitting in a corner gathering dust, or getting tossed into a landfill. As a result, China has been shitting out a steady flow of knock-off boards, to capitalize on the fad. Some of them actually are better than RPi, but there are also lots of utterly useless ones that were shipped to market, and then completely forgotten about by their manufacturers, who instead got to work on the next one, which would only end up being forgotten and neglected too.

>>58355854

>>58378274
>They were originally created with hobby electronics and DIY tinkering in mind, as well as a potential, and very affordable (therefore accessible to nearly anyone) teaching/learning tool for programming, aimed at children.

And they're pretty good for that. I got a couple youngins' that are getting kinda interested in robotics/machine control. This seems like a good place to start and they're digging it more than the tinkertoy bullshit that's usually targeted at kids. Spent my younger days in the more physical trades(welding/machining), and I'm enjoying learning new shit too.

I started to build a tablet out of a PCDuino3. I chose it because it had SATA ports, and could boot from it, so my intention was to use a SSD for storage. It's also one of the boards that is supported by OpenBSD, which I thought might be an interesting challenge to try and use as a tablet OS, albeit I'd likely have ended up ditching it, and going with some version of Linux that isn't Ubuntu (or Android), because I really doubt OpenBSD would be anything resembling ideal for this sort of thing. I intended to make a case for it out of aluminum. I'm a machinist and have access to a CNC mill at the shop, and plenty of scrap aluminum lying around, so it would have been easy enough, and basically free.

I got sidetracked on it, because my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, and I spent about eight months taking care of her. I haven't really felt like doing much of anything besides working since she died back in July. Maybe I'll get back on it soon. I may look into using a different board though.

>>58376280
That P4 is going to use a lot more electricity. It'll use more than a newer Intel system actually.

>>58378475
Yea, they are good for the DIY stuff. I didn't mean to imply that they aren't, and should have worded things better.

I meant that they are kind of pointless for teaching kids to program. I mean it's definitely possible, but most kids in developed countries have access to PCs and laptops anyway, and there are other existing charities that provide children in developing countries with cheap laptops. RPi didn't bring anything new to the table there, just a different platform for doing it on.

I will say that imo ARM (and MIPS) are a better platform for learning ASM though. x86/AMD64 ASM is a huge fucking mess, while RISC architectures are designed to have a smaller, more simplified instruction set. You can pick up enough to actually start doing something useful, in a relatively short amount of time with ARM or MIPS. Once you have a decent grasp of it, x86 ASM should be easier to wrap your head around.

>>58379598

As a planefag I'm planning to get some $25 RTL-SDR dongles, some antennas and a Pi then listen in to aviation radio and build a ADS-B receiver station.

buy an odroid c2. rpi is literally for children

>>58382421
You probably don't need a pi for that, get the dongle and bandpass filter, build an antenna and see what's up.

i have a network top and have my pi with security onion attached to it

There are usually electrical receptacles in the ceiling, above the tile in commercial buildings like a restaurant. You could potentially gain access inside a bathroom. Or you could pay an employee to stash it somewhere inconspicuous. You'd need to be able to trust them to both keep quiet, and have enough sense to put it somewhere safe. It will more than likely be found sooner of later though.

>you're
Hahahahahaha. Faggot.

>bought pi thinking I'd do all these crazy projects with it
>after about a month decided fuck it and turned it into an emulation station
that said, it helped me learn linux terminal and it's quite decent as a retro gaming machine so it wasn't all bad

>>58353771
They could be functional if they swapped out ARM processors for some higher powered SnapDragons

>I use mine as a local Linux server. I compile and run all my code from it cuz it's easier than Windows
I do the exact same, but it depends on the project. With VS 2017 I can compile it from windows onto the RaspberryPi, and it is all in native code. Making games and stuff for Linux I dual boot into my Ubuntu Drive

I bought one for my church and use it for a phone server. It handles IVR ("Press 1 for xyz, Press 2 for abc") and converts SIP (our Cisco phones) to Jabber/XMPP (Google Voice uses this). Result: a free phone system with free, unlimited domestic calls using about $70 for the Pi and accessories and a few $40 refurb Cisco phones.

Bitches don't know about muh ultra-cheap phone server that makes my church look like it has things more under control than it does.

I've heard of issues involving chargers not outputting 5v causing pis to hang
I plan to buy a cable specifically for my pi as I'm having that issue

How could I torrent with the pi from someone elses wifi and have remote access to the pi from computer?

>>58385142
you just explained how you could do it

>>58384251
That's pretty fukken slick.

>>58385142
For torrenting: deluged + deluge-web
For remote access: SSH
For foreign Wi-Fi access: get the key or hack it with kali linux

Wut. Can't be this retarded? Seriously?

This, except mine runs a bit hot (60°C idle)

Why haven't anyone mentioned personal email server yet?

They don't have much use.

If you want to have a platform for emulation that's cheap and works alright, this is it though.

>>58361056
It blows my mind that a Raspberry Pi is faster than a 1999 BlueBerry iMac similar to the one Hank bought for Peggy after he got high on stain and conversed with Tom Landry mole.

>>58353771
I use mine as VPN devices.

I usually buy in bulk, attach Wi-fi+battery packs that last around 4-5 days (I usually replace after 3 days).

Whenever I know I will get access to someones wi-fi I use it to make me a VPN to that wi-fi. I do this by going over, ask for wi-fi password for my phone and pretend to log in. Then I drive by the house the next day or whenever I know the person will be gone/not notice me and leave my pi setup somewhere it wont be noticed.

I then have access to their wi-fi and internal network and I can route my traffic through it.

I've done this several times in order to get people I don't like accused of carrying CP. I just plant some shit on their computers then call the cops on them later saying they've got a CP stash. I also use it to blackmail people (found a masturbation video a girl made for her boyfriend, told her I'd post it on facebook and link everyone to it unless she gave me a BJ which she reluctantly did) and listen to peoples internet traffic.

Raspberry pi's are so cheap and easy that it doesn't really cost me anything either but gives me a lot of power over people.

>>58386192
Sure you do, anon. We believe you.

After all, you really think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?

>>58386255
Sorry that your dated moral code doesn't let you take advantage. Grow up and realize it's a dog eat dog world, you sheltered idiot.

I think it's the other way around. Considering that one of mails end in .mil.

Is there somewhere people show off their pi epeens?

I need some inspiration.

You're a fucking cuck and I could ruin your life.

>>58353771
>What are they used for?
Either neckbeards to set up their low power servers or engineering wannabes to use the gpio pins to turn it into a micro controller.
The latter is the cool shit, the former is what I'm using it for at the minute.

>>58386479
Now, I know you're talking shit. I have nothing to do with military actually, but you're making baseless claims and shit. Do you really think that people don't know that you're shitting all over the place?

>this animosity towards RPI

What else would I get if I want to run something basic from my flat without needing to shell out a fortune or risk a fire?

>>58369939
This. The PI is so great because theres a good community and documentation.

Not everyone buys shit like that just to run Kodi on it.

I use mine as a portable linux machine, jerking off to gaymes while my 150mb helloworld compiles.

other than that, i use it as a photo backup server, a WiFi hotspot, music streaming server and a shitty surveillance device which detects an ir laser break when my phone is not connected to wifi and records through a camera.

>>58386735
There are more powerful and cheaper devices, but they're chinkshit nodrivers and will stop getting OS upgrades the instant the manufacturer stops selling them.

RPi's biggest strength is that it will be widely supported for a long time and there's a massive amount of documentation out there on how to do anything

>>58387000
Examples?

I could go with something up to the size of an external HDD. Just as long as it is affordable and can sit on my desk 24/7 without risk

What shoul i use?

Does RPi have a sata port? cause i have an old 1tb drive that I want to hook up to an RPi and make a fileserver.

>>58364165
I've been thinking of this myself, but what about a static ip? Wouldn't that be a bitch?

>>58366749
The company that nakes those seems proto autistic but the actual product looks to be good.

>>58388374
Buy a sata to usb enclosure so it'll keep cool & have power, like $20

>>58353771
>What are they used for?
Paperweight mostly

>>58366526
This, absolutely this.

I broke the screen of my android smartphone and I chose to save $60 for another and newer smartphone instead of buying an LCD replacement.
I ended up using the headless smartphone connected via Slimport to the TV as a Kodi machine and Retro-gayming+Android-gayming machine.
I already have a dedicated VPS+Torrent machine.

How did you pull this off, use something like a microusb to HDMI cable or something?

Your Mom is more likely to run a Minecraft server than an Arduino.
