>>61048939
I hear you, but i can't really be bothered looking after 12 machines and making sure they get updated regularly and have every custom domain added to every single machine.

I might eventually implement a proper DNS sinkhole on my debian server and have it serve up DHCP as well, until then it works well enough to not have to deal with Youtube ads and malicious websites.

The only shitty part about DNS Blacklisting is that you don't get the nice cosmetic rules you would get with a browser plugin, so you get iFrames that show "connection reset" in your browser where the ad would be.

Probably an Orange or Banana Pi.

I don't have a camera so I can't test the max fps I can get on the csi port of my OPi PCs but it fills all the other categories.
>>
>>61048725
>csi port allows for 90fps hw video capture
With OpenCV I've found that 'dynamic range' (probably the wrong term, not a camerafag) is more important than resolution. As all images are usually converted to greyscale, some threshold is applied, and then you do your bounding box/blob detection or whatever.
I guess I'm asking are any of the CSI cameras not-shit compared to usb webcam offerings?

Currently using a number of rpi/bbbs for lots of projects:
- host for octoprint (3d printer)
- buttons for home automation stuff (lights on, movie mode, lock all doors, etc) via home assistant/MQTT
- robot stuff (ROS) - controls stepper drivers, reads sensors, runs ros core
- on my ebike and golf cart to monitor watts, speed via gps, count number of charge cycles
- flashing libreboot on memepads
- music player: rackmounted with buttons for preset streams/playlists and driving a lcd for mpd info
>>
>>61049022
I get it, maintaining 12 systems in your free time is simply just too much, so the solution you're using is a fair alternative. But at least my own, personal systems I want to run my own resolvers on, and keeping them updated. However, I'm still young and not a dad or husband myself, but I reckon I'd rather spend my free time otherwise as well in your shoes.
>>

Pic related. The only reasonably priced SBC that passes the RPi3 is an ODROID C2, which has no CSI port(and you really want a CSI port because USB has a nasty performance hit).

>>61049071
>With OpenCV I've found that 'dynamic range' (probably the wrong term, not a camerafag) is more important than resolution.
Depends on your application, really. When you're driving a 140 pound robot, even eliminating a tiny bit of latency helps immensely. The RPi Camera Module v2 has an IMX219 sensor with great dynamic range(comparable to a mid-end smartphone camera really). I've had no problems with it so far, but like I said, really depends on your application.
>>
>>61049872
thanks anon, I ordered one and will give it a go.
Is your 140lb robot most battery weight? That thing must be a beast.
I'm working with a delta bot for pick and place type work. So it can run waaaaaay faster than my current code - gotta upgrade to better servos to get rid of the 'bounce' when stopping. Using OpenCV with a Kinect to do contour detection, find the centerpoint, move the effector there, and then cycle the vacuum gripper.

at least that's what I do, so everything someone else does is objectively stupid.

I have no idea about the wifi but just flash Armbian on it and it is fine. Temps are manageable, the H3 is allegedly rated to run at up to 125C so the 60~70C full load averages you get when at the proper clocks are completely manageable. With a little bit of active cooling you can keep it down to 45~50C

Home automation and teaching kids, I use it for my plant watering system currently and plan to expand it to weather tracking. Currently it takes into account the reported weather, humidity and humidity patterns over the day, past patterns, heat, how well the plants are watered, the water left, &c... I use siphons which trigger another sensor to tell it if it's over watering (also to water multiple plants at once as the next are below the one watered directly) them and to drain water when it's raining.

This is a pet project my sister designed and I implemented with her as I wanted to teach her the fun of engineering... I just tend to over engineer things.

>NO. Don't do this. It will not be a good solution.
It can be a perfectly fine solution.
USB2.0 is around 300Mbps, if you use a rasppi the Ethernet is 100Mbit and shares the USB bus, so you could add a 100Mbit USB Ethernet adapter and have some overhead available. If you add a 1Gbit USB Ethernet adapter then it could impinge on the onboard Ethernet speed, but if you use it for pfsense it shouldn't be an issue so long as your Internet connection is under 100Mbit.
If you get an OrangePi the onboard Ethernet has its own bus so you could add a 1Gbit USB Ethernet adapter and get 300Mbit throughput on it on the local side and 100Mbit to the Internet if that is useful. For the Orange Pi PC/PC2 I don't know if there is a single USB host for all three ports but if there isn't then maybe you can get 300Mbit both ways with two 1Gbit USB Ethernet adapters (or one in the case of the PC2 because it has onboard 1Gbit Ethernet).

Basically, it is a valid option.

I wonder if we'll ever get to a point where everybody is just using one of these tiny board computers as their "main computer"

Tecnically, the normies already are, since the ARM cpu is in smartphones. Just imagine one of these with 8GB of ram and better graphics acceleration and BOOM, we'd be there.

>>
One of mine runs HomeBridge and controls my blinds, locks, and car. Some miscellaneous party shit too, like "Hey Siri, take out the trash" bans my friend on TeamSpeak.

The other is my backup line into my home net when servers crash or something. Used to be able to run OpenVPN on DDWRT but DDWRT doesn't have hardware acceleration and I was only getting 200 of the 900mbps I was paying for. So that raspi is now my OpenVPN server and general diagnostics hardware.

They're p cool.

It's powerful enough to stream two or three channels at once. Watch a few of that guys videos, they're pretty good.

peerblock with Pi-hole? Doesn't peerblock just block IPs? Those don't need DNS, how would Pi-hole block them?

Both probably unnecessary. I doubt you are going to be considering a Pi for an HTPC if you have a 4k TV.

If you are then there are other Pis that can handle 4k 264, and even 265.

I bought one, didn't have a clue what I was going to do with it really (used arduinos mostly). Used it to learn linux, learn GPIO, learn i2c, communications etc.

The experience/knowledge/repos I got from just doing random projects involving the Pi got me my current job actually. Still, I wouldn't unironically use it for everyday tasks (even torrenting) because there's much better alternatives unless you have some specific use cases in which it performs pretty well.

most of the red states are drastically less populated than blue states. if you change their size to reflect their population it looks a lot less dramatic.

donaldo didnt even win the popular vote, but he did win big wide squares of mostly empty land, while hillshill won the tightly-packed urban ones. hence why the map looks so overwhelmingly red

not american btw, just someone who gets his jimmies rustled by cartographic illiteracy. this happens every election, republicans love to toss the electoral map around because their big sparsely-populated districts make it look like they have an overwhelming majority no matter what.

Is this a good idea lads?

>>61048511
I considered very seriously using a raspberry pi for my main work machine. Powerful enough to shit post, surf and automate tasks, use office software (Libre office) & lends itself nicely to programming, good connectivity wifi, ethernet and can install gprs/3g/4g - cell mod. I could always remote into a server if I needed to complete more computational heavy tasks.

They only reason I didn't is due to how god damn useful raspberry pis are at other stuff and thus they got deployed elsewhere.

The Air Force made a Beowulf cluster out of PS3's.
>>
>>61066928
That's basically my point.
Beowulf clusters can be made out of most anything, so if you compare a Pi cluster to a PS3 cluster then it might be more efficient but you would have to use several Pis for each PS3.

>>61066889
There are many Pi Beowulf cluster guides on the Internet, most use openMPI though but I think that cluster may be using the kernel mod.

>>61071012
It isn't botnet if you install Armbian, they closed the kernel backdoor.
>>
>>61071012
All technology is a botnet, deal with it.

Also yeah they run hotter compared to the usual raspi because they use more powerful processors compared to the raspis. A heatsink is very useful on these things.
>>
>>61071012
>For real? That's hot enough that you could cool it by having it boil water
Hmm in the datasheet it has a maximum storage temperature of 125C and a maximum ambient operating temperature of 70C.

I would assume that if it can be stored at up to 125C then the cores should be able to reach the same while operating without causing damage, but that is data for the chip itself, it is possible that damage will be done to the board if it reaches those temperatures while in operation.

The 70C ambient operating temperature makes sense because chips will almost always be running hotter than the ambient temp. If you get to 60C under load at 20C ambient then even being conservative and just adding 40C to that 70C puts you to 110C operating temp.
