What script are you using to show vnstat, htop and that graph at the very top of the pic?

What's on the right?

when I am tired of sitting in my desk, I will upload some 1080p movies on the sd card and watch it on the big screen in the living room. It's a great media player

Upper graph is slurm (as it says directly in its title row)

No script used. Its just tmux.

How exactly do you achive that? Is there an addon like with southpark? Or exodus?

Just using exodus, I haven't bothered to do a fancy setup yet

tnx

Exodus is best grill.

Thanks

Do you have it connected to an external drive?

I have mine setup as a poor man's vpn server and adblockers. Plus it also hosts all my media so I can stream it to my TV or any other device when I'm away from home. Works well enough and uses very little power.

>ssh server

I don't think having an SSH daemon running really counts as a service.

It does count as a service mr quads.

Course I did. Nothing too fancy just a a 1TB drive

My first raspi will be used as a countdown clock with a "big" 7 segment display. each digit will be 20cm tall or something like that. Currently prototyping it with a small display

Arduino uno would be more than enough for that

It's a minnowboard max. Been running since august 2014, only turned it off once to replace the micro sd.

I'd love some specifics on howto pull this off

Dealing with USB1-devices as modern PCs have the USB1 functionality gimped.

I'm using an IR camera made for the RPi, alongside a pyroelectric motion sensor hooked into the GPIO. When the sensor is triggered, the camera takes a picture and emails it to me with a timestamp. I wrote the script to do this all in Python. My next steps are hooking it up to a stepper so that it can do motion tracking as well.
If you really want to do this, there are tons of guides online. My solution is really hacky because it was one of the first programming things I did entirely on my own.

Flashing Coreboot/Libreboot on devices and using it to play retro games on my old CRT TV

a.k.a home botnet

Collecting dust and selling it for bitcoin

same but I formatted it to make an easy installation script and then never got around to making that script

Thanks mate, I'll look into it. I know zero programming so hopefully someone did all of that.
Could I set it to do it at a certain time? Like whenever I am not home.
I also want to set up a motion sensor camera outside my window but the Pi camera is not so good for that.

Sup Forums/YouTube/twitch client and ssh gateway into my network

You'll have no problem finding some premade code, most likely written in Python. Python's syntax is very easy to read and learn, so I think you won't have much of a problem adding in a timer. It shouldn't take more than a couple lines.
Another, possibly simpler, method to have the script run at set times would be setting up a cron job. It's a pretty easy utility to get up and running. It's essentially a task scheduler.

I think the Pi camera would handle working outside just fine. You can buy some water resistant housings, and there are even lens adapters for it. Of course, you could also just get a USB webcam that does the same thing.

Best of luck!

CUPS/SANE server, too lazy to buy electronic components and make interesting stuff

Good thinking but still wemos or nodeMCU are both have plenty of gpio and they do speak wifi and way cheaper than a pi, just go ask /csg/

Plenty of piwer in them, this guy hooked a whole lcd screen on one.

you can use an omega2+ it costs 9 bucks and has wifi.

Made an authoritative DNS server that resolves every request that someone makes to a random porn picture on hosted on the device so that when people try to steal wifi from a bullshit wireless network I set up they get redirected to porn.

I use it to run RISC OS, and I use RISC OS for programming in BBC Basic

oh, I forgot to add, I also have another raspberry pi (the original raspberry pi 1, model B) which is beside my bed connected to speakers, it acts as a white noise machine which is controlled through a USB game pad. I wrote the scripts to make it do that myself

vision processing

I think I am going to make mine into a pilehole or an e-mail server. Currently it is being used for retropi.

just install deluge on a gui-less raspbian image.
as for the connecting to open wifi, you configure the wlan0 to auto connect to any available open wifi.
I haven't made a script yet for wifi ap's where sign-in/eula agreements are involved.

Heard it all before, don't care. Just werks.

Outside something with better night vision might be better, so I'll look into other cameras. Thanks a lot user. I really do appreciate it.

Thanks mate.

>Alexa

i was not going to say either.
its that something like FreeBSD or FreeNAS would do the job MUCH better and for free(assuming you paid for the w10 key"

The finest in automation.

Never used FreeBSD or FreeNAS, can't really be bothered when I can right click and share files then mount it as network storage w/o any compatibility issues or bugs. I never have any issues. Never randomly drops/disconnects/dies on me. I hate fucking with network issues so this is the easiest for me. I didn't pay for the key.

Are there free as in Freedom versions of Alexa and shit?

Would be fun to do home automation through voice commands and shit.

And shit.

>free porn

yeah that should keep people away.....

idiot

using it as a server

isn't there a bar on low IQ people posting here?

I mean sub 70 IQ

If you're not using the GPIO pins, you're a fucking retard.

Fragile micro USB port
Fragile SD cards
Slow USB NIC
Depends on USB drives if you need more than a SD card can offer

There are much better options for servers and networking devices out there. The RPI is shit for that kind of stuff.

>Been running since august 2014, only turned it off once to replace the micro sd.
have you been installing updates?

How do I use this thing for home automation?

What do you want to automate?

Search for raspberry pi sensors and get some ideas.

How did you achieve that bash prompt design?

Why are you repeatedly unplugging the micro USB port and the SD card on a server? The slow NIC also isn't going to be a problem if you're not trying to stream 8k taiwanese cave paintings from it. USB 2.0 isn't too majorly slow, I have mine booting off of an SSD through it and it performs like an average HDD.
It's good for a 35$ server that consumes below 10w.

Don't have the repeatedly unplug those things for them to fail. An SSD that performs like a HDD doesn't sound good at all. Not even for something you paid 35 dollars for. I rather get something much nicer for 99-150 dollars brand new.

The alternatives to the RPI that sits around the same price range is probably better value too.

It seems like people get them thinking they're going to be like Woz, but end up giving them paperweight tasks like "server" and "htpc" instead. It is a nice tool for learning and projects, and for that, it doesn't matter that it uses fragile usb ports and sd cards, or have stuff like the NIC and external drives going through USB.

Have fun with the gpio header.

Gonna get one soon for Pi-hole and as a dedicated Unifi controller. Are there any downsides to using the wifi on the Zero W instead of a wired connection for Pi-hole? Any more suggestions for stuff to do with this thing?

Little does she know that there's a t420 with a dock in the drawer right below.

Yes Im sad I know

How old are you, my good boy?

what's the point if all the shit you just listed is headless

No because it has to tie into the botnet to get voice recognition data.

I bought one on sale thinking that I could stream 1080p with it, but I've read that it still struggles to do it with the pi3. Have I made mistake?

torrent machine and file server. Getting another soon to run a Bitcoin node on it.

>What are you doing with your paperweight?
Overkill BLDC motor controller

I would say the only time I have issues with that is over wifi. Doing it over ethernet has no issues. Even the Pi 1 can play 1080p. Unless your 1080p rips are retarded high bitrate (ie diminishing returns videophile garbage) like 75mbps, you shouldn't have problems

Okay cool, I was under the impression that it just had trouble with the video themselves. I guess I'll just have to let videos buffer due to the tv it's destined for is on a different level than the router.

Thinking of getting a raspberry pi 3. Is the composite 240p too shitty for PVM autists?

I've got 5. One is a git repo mirror and the other 4 are so I can practice microservice deploys and architecture without cloud fees.
