Raspberry

So I got $100 for a job I did recently and want to buy a Raspberry pi, but need advice on which to get. I'm going to use it as a server of some sort, perhaps a game server so I don't know which model to get, or the size of the MicroSD card.

lol

I mean a very small minecraft server or something, for educational purposes. Maybe set up a small FTP server of some sort

I got a 3B, it has onboard wifi (which the 2 doesnt)
I doubt you need that for your project, but the price diference was very small
you should buy the canakit packege which comes with a case for the board and heatsinks for the chips

>So I got $100 for a job I did recently

is your asshole still sore?

Yes, but that's not related to the job. I helped an old guy move shit off his property.

Orange pi pc.

It's cheap so you won't feel so bad when it becomes a dust collector

100?

look at mr moneybags over here

Ten $s say that you were standing in the property limit, the shit he moved was his dick, and he moved it into your ass.

I've been looking into the Pi-top recently. I just discovered it. Looks alright if you wanna throw more cash at it. Could be useful for travel due to it being so light wight and can run for like 10 hours

'Twas actually bags of sand

So is this one good?

I just got the 3B and it's fantastic. If you've used the first gen Raspberry Pi, it's not even fair to compare the two. Definitely go for the 3B.

And then just get like an 8GB MicroSD? Also do you have to buy the power cord separately?

I attached mine to my electronic safe and made it controllable from AWS with a web front end, lockable with an encrypted PIN, as well as added timelock features. I can lock myself in chastity or have someone else lock me up.

Does this model have a microSD slot???

yes

Why not just buy a memepad for less than a pi, put linux on it and stick it in your bathroom?

please show me this magical place where you can get a memepad for 40 bucks

Not that guy, but I have purchased many thinkpads for $35 from my university's surplus store.

eBay

nigga that's nice. Can you install retropie on it?

not him. Yes:

If you're restricting yourself to Raspberry Pis, rather than other SBCs, get the RPi 3. Clearly superior specs to previous model, and the RPi Zero isn't suitable for server shit.

So, I wanna get a Raspberry Pi 3B for emulation
Lakka or RetroPie?
Also, what case is best if I want to keep the GPIO pins covered temporarily?

>not putting your gpio pins to good use

Thus, why I say "temporarily"
I want to keep them protected until I find something I can use them for

Nice heat sink pleb.

I don't think that flashing libreboot requires enough CPU usage to warrant a liquid cooler. The heatsinks came with my PI, otherwise I would not have bothered installing them.

I may try some emulation in the future though. I wonder if anyone has tried nitrogen cooling on a pi.

Where the fuck is it though

Can't you just install an OS onto a flash drive?

He moved bags of sand into your ass?

I moved them off his property. You're joke was never funny BTW.

> implying I'm the same guy who started the joke

I'm on the raspy 2 b+ and I can tell you that it can't withstand the load of a minecraft server and will crash really often.

Raspi 3 is the latest iteration but I doubt it'll be much better.

No. The raspberry pi will not boot from a flash drive out of the box, only a SD card. You can modify it however.

Regardless it's not funny

So does the pi have like bios or something?

Buy a $100 pc off craigslist. Raspberry Pi isn't meant for that shit. It's meant for fucking alarm systems and shit like that not servers.77777777777

People use it for all sorts of different server related stuff.

Speaking about Pis, how good is the Pi 3 if you're using it solely as a VPN server?

should be fine, the 2, and even the 1 would have worked fine for that.

Do they really have that much power to host servers? I always thought they were to make something cool.

You can do a file server ftp and the like

Oh right, I was thinking along the lines of Minecraft servers like OP, ftp server would be cool. Has anyone created a NAS with one?

What if it's for an internal VPN network that transfers large volumes of files or data at once? What's the limit?

No. the encryption is too cpu-intensive.

You could make a 10 player Minecraft server

Then why did you say that even a Pi 1 was good for it?

>imp
ALWAYS WITH THE FUCKING IMP!!
IMP IMP IMP IMP IMP IMP IMP!!!!!!!!

he didn't, i did. and you just moved the goalposts

I didn't move the goalposts, I just clarified what I needed the thing to do. I have to share my internet with two roommates, but I want to keep my shit isolated from whatever malware from their bullshit shemale scat sites they go to.

Plus, 24/7/365 stream of 18TB of porn doesn't protect itself

Get an orange pi or an odroid if you want a server. Part of the cost of a raspberry pi is for hardware codecs. Money that would better serve a server if used for gigabit ethernet not piggybacking off a bus being used for 4 usb ports, and a better CPU than what an RPi offers.

Wow glad you told me about this. The Orange Pi Plus 2E has way better specs than the Raspberry pi

For some really stupid reason I want this...

To see if you can push an RPi3 to 2GHz?
