You can't buy Pi and expect to not do nerd stuff with it... I'm using mine to remotely open door lock and dim lights how I want it + made monitor ambilight out of arduino and I'm looking to make some shitty RC car to play with my cat

>kodi

I use mine as a file server / media centre / porn machine with OSMC. Really useful to have around, although a web browser would be useful.

Can kodi already do netflix?

Shove

I didn't buy it, it was gifted to me, thought I'd make the best out of it, but so far all the projects I've found are just uninteresting to me.

Wish you could mine on one of these.

what is this? can't find it online

>what useful things can i do with a computer

It's a good platform to test driver malware

Tor exit node

>inb4 to pussy too do it

Why do people use Tor? It is slow as fuck. I hate Tor now.

minidlna server for your TVs.

Too many Pi exit nodes

Can't they just upload cp on https secured servers? Fuck this onion shit

>what useful things can I do with a shitty computer*

>>what useful things can I do with a very power efficient computer capable of playing Full HD video and having 26 GPIO pins to connect to your IoT

>https
>secure

Elaborate, genuinely curious.

now days onion is slow as shiet (i need to fap to my younger sister now)

It could, but the only platform netflix supports on linux is chrome (botnet chrome, not chromium), which doesn't have an armhf build.

https hides neither your identity nor the server's. All it does is encrypt packets over the wire to ensure that the data is unread and unmodified.

normie tier: a quality DAC+volumio as an airplay emulator, internet radio streaming and playing placebo audio files off a NAS.

its pretty nice if you arent autistic and host house parties, you dont need to leave a 700+ dollar phone connected to a 3.5mm jack which can get stolen in like 2 seconds flat.

angry birds machine

Friendly reminder than ODROID C2 outperforms a Rpi 3:

CPU of 2.0 GHZ with integrated heatsink.
2 GB RAM.
GPU of 700 MHz.
HDMI 2 40K 60 FPS.
h265 video compression.
microSD + eMMC for storage.
4 USB 2.0 + microUSB OTG.
40 pin UART.
10/100/1000 LAN (1 gigabit ethernet).
New ARM64 technology.

Can play Kodi just fine. Also gaymes youtube.com/watch?v=rn10J9K58YA

Daily reminder that you only can install an ancient Ubuntu on that shit and you are not guaranteed that graphics card will run smoothly. Nice b8

16.04 is not "ancient" user odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:c2_release_linux_ubuntu

That's nice, but you depend on them building it for you because if you attempt it yourself chances are it'll fail because of hardware blobs.
They can drop support whenever they feel like it.
And you cant install on it any OS other than Ubuntu or Android.
What's more, afaic sone hardware features still don't have proper software support.

Web server (lighttpd). VPN (openvpn, pptpd, openswan...). Network-wide ad-blocking (pi-hole). Your own Sup Forums clone (vichan). Emulators for older consoles (retropie). Media center (Kodi). File storage thing (owncloud, or just plain old proftpd). Or just plain old desktop use.

Also a Gentoo-compiler. Also an IRC bouncer. Also a firefox sync server. Also a mumble server.

>vichan
that's nice, wish it had a catalog view as default

they improved much from tinyboard.org/

You can enable catalog view with the Catalog "theme" (I have no clue why they call them themes, they're more like extensions) from /mod.php.

Afaik, people were able to run Netflix on chromium by adding some chrome addins + hanging the user agent.

This of course, is without acceleration and very choppy

>/mod.php
can't find it m8

Assuming you have already went through the installation process (git clone, open /install.php from web browser, configure database connection stuff), it should literally be right there in the directory you installed it to. If you mean you can't find the particular option, it's called "Manage themes". Find "Catalog" there and hit "Install".

thanks m8

Linux machine
Run all Android stuff
I got a Pine64 with Android 6.0 and it runs smooth and I got 50C on it while streaming 1080p
Raspberry Pi usually has better thermals so you can probably get good temps

Friendly reminder that the support is utter shit.

I was gifted one and it sat in a box until I got a 3d printer
I put octoprint on it and now I can control it from any web device, and watch prints remotely through a webcams. I can cancel a print/watch for housefires while I'm at work

>Run all Android stuff
What do you need that for?

Elaborate, please. I know for sure it was bad in March, but it's been almost a year now.

alarm system, video surveillance, seedbox, whatever.

>4 USB 2.0
Let's talk about this once it supports USB 3.0 maybe.

Nigga you lie.

>no AC3/DTS passthrough
>only stereo sound
>bad software support with only one OS semi supported

>hardware blobs
like what? mali driver is on its way

now you are just shitposting

>on its way
It's been "on its way" for more than a year now.

Seriously though, why would you pick it over en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_Pi
it also suffers from the lack of proper Mali driver support but at least has SATA which makes it a better home server

I've had this crazy idea to use a RPI as a VPN in a McDonalds or something.

Basically I thought about going to the bathroom and opening the ceiling to connect it to power and then connecting it to the free wifi.

If it ever gets found well it's only $35. Or just use a Pi Zero

from the SATA can't deny it, is really good for RPi, but for the rest is on par

Dude, I'm serious. My uncle works at Nintendo.

kek

here are some guides to cool projects for the odroid btw hackaday.com/2015/05/08/hacklet-46-odroid-projects/

It also has a much better software support.

I'll just take your word on that

All permutations of upper and lower case of the entered word
justbeamit.com/6puga

You can make your own email server or cloud private service. Chek nextcloud out.

>OpenSuse
>updated:2015-10-19
> orangepi.org/downloadresources/
The fuck does that mean?
Does that mean I can't update it on my own?

Depends on how SuSE does release upgrades. If it's rolling-release, you should be able to work it just fine. If it's more complex than that, it may or may not work.

>Orange Pi
>Official downloads
It means you have to turn 360 degrees, walk away and get Armbian instead because their official software is literally the worst.

They don't even specify if it's tumbleweed or 42

I mean, I'm affraid some driver issue would prevent me from updating the kernel.

What makes it the worst?

PoisonTap is pretty cool.
samy.pl/poisontap/

I fell for the "raspberry clone because better specs” meme...

Don't do it.

>IoT
>unironically

...

I can't even load their website most of the time.

Orange Pi has zero support. The only people who may still give a damn is Armbian.

>None of those shitty nerd projects please
What do you mean by this?

Any news for 2017 rpi?

odroid has full time devs that maintain a patched kernel so you don't have to build your own. Beyond that, it runs the same Ubuntu arm shit the Pi does, except the graphics drivers are better and it has faster IO.

yep, but it still works fine,
I'm running pi-hole and web server on my orange pi zero

Why do you shill for Odroid 24/7?

IT'S LITERALLY $15-20 MORE EXPENSIVE THAN RPI, NOT EVEN SAME PRICE GROUP

>2.0 GHZ
lol no
its actually 1.5 max

Its actually specced to run at 2GHz the only reason its clocked at 1.5 is because its passively cooled.

wtf are you smoking ?

I only really use mine for pi-hole and taking notes using LaTeX. Bit of Octave testing as well but the temps rise quickly once you start using it for that. I need to get a heatsink for it.

Honestly 1gb of RAM is plenty on the Pi 3. I haven't used even a quarter of it before. You could easily put a lightweight browser on there if you wanted.

The C2 is worth $15-$20 more for 1GbE and 2GB RAM alone. I'm not shilling for it, but I can see why someone might prefer this over Raspberry Pi. Especially if they want a headless server. If you want a graphical interface, Eric Anholt has been steadily improving OpenGL performance and stability on open source VC4 MESA. Raspberry Pi is the single board of choice for GUI vanilla Linux and emulation.

>The C2 is worth $15-$20 more for 1GbE and 2GB RAM alone

Ofcourse not, wtf are you smoking?

costs a lot more too

You seem like you have been following VC4 Mesa development, is it at the point where it can accelerate something like gnome and basic 3d like tux racer without crashing?

>nextcloud
I tried running nextcloud + NGINX + MySQL + PHP7 on my pi3 and it worked, but was slow to the point of being almost unusable. I switched to seafile and it seems to run a lot better. If you just want the cloud storage without all the addons and whatnot, seafile seems to be a better choice on the pi.

Supposedly they're going to release an updated zero and compute module

>fileserver
see above

>router
pfsense.org/

I made mine into a shifty irc server
