I can play games on my PC, but what have you done with your raspberry pi other than stick it in a drawer and tell yourself you'll find a use for it later?

it's 35 bucks bruh
that's less than what 1 vidya costs

nice meme, soybug

They have their uses as quick and dirty low-power controllers and basic servers, but they're highly overrated and pretty boring.

>buy raspberry pi thinking i'd use it for all sorts of cool shit
>plug it into my tv
>do some basic electronics projects

>emulators are mostly shit and the sound is off
>never use it again

wow that was worth it

they're okay.
the zero-w is godly good since it's so small, efficient and isn't hot as fuck like the orange-pi equivalent.

The 3 is more of a meme SBC for people to install kodi and game emulators on.
I use one for webhosting and it works fine but nothing special.
A NAS or NUC will probably do you better in the long run, especially since the rpi is so restricted in terms of drive and network performance but for $35 the pi is fine for someone who just wants to do some light tasks and not have a power sucking huge PC always on to do them.

Fuck broadscum!

I use it as a emby frontend (running kodi/osmc with emby plugin).

Works just fine.

i bought the original pi when it was new

haha i don't use that thing for anything important, i just plug it in and install random things when i have a day off or two

You're just too lazy to actually do something, because you rather play on your $2000 gaming rig. I run a Pi zero to access my old printer from the network through cups. A Pi3 is used as a syncthing always on client and for Retropie.

pubg is a one trick pony

Lmao it's like 30 bucks. How fucking poor are you?Are you in need of donations?

But pubg is basically dead.

No, that would be smartphones.

if you bought it for their computing power you're doing it wrong
GPIO is a nice interface between hardware software

arma reskin with stock models.
play arma since, well, armed assault and got tricked into day z standalone by those arma freaks I play with.
now with pubg I wizened up and just stuck with arma 3. and what a waste of money that would've been

if that were true it would cost 3x as much

just because you don't have and are to dumb to think of a project that requires a small weak solid state computer doesn't mean there aren't thousands of such applications

How the hell are you comparing 30$ to intel jews?

What the fucks wrong with you. We we're literally promised that no new product will come before earliest 2019, probably 2020. They can not manufacture any significantly improved SoC for the same prices, before the improved lithography becomes available for broadcom.

That's why they call it "3+" and not fucking Pi ONE BalckEdition by Gamers Republic, or some other crap.

Show me one product step, in which the Raspberry Pi foundation has not balanced it's product with the finest finesse between costumer caring while being worthwhile for a legitimate company.

But I use it as a headless torrent box to stream to my PS4.

Rpi too slow shit.
It is not possible to use it for something serious.

Well, you're just a tech failure. When i ran out of creativity with my for Pi as a teenager, i set up a torrenting server, which still runs perfectly to this day. Now i have that, and a printer server for the family (With auto-saving scan by one click, and both colour and black laser printer available, accessible on both Win, Mac and gentoo) and whilst in is only used a few times a month, it is so more efficient that a cheap super market all in-one printer.

And the Retro Pi i have set up with the newer 3, is running above my expectation. Original Play Station games run with no problem, i finally got good a Tekken (we we're too poor to have consoles and computers)

In short, you're an uncreative failure. I'm not /diy/ or could qualify as any kind of pro tech user, but i got 3 Pi's all doing fantastic parts in the household. Too bad i'm moving out soon.

It can decode and stream HD porn, it can play games, it can easily be used as an internet machine. That's what i call serious home usage, the former in particular. What are you talking about, seismic analysis of oilfields and HEVC video encoding for jewtube? Have you failed to realized that there's a reason AMD and Lisa Sue is successful with thread ripper, and not that awfull american CEO's idea of "Server ARM chips".

they are pretty useful if you understand Linux, programming and electrical engineering. but since you're a NEET brainlet and the only thing you know about it is what you seen others do with it on the web, you probably assume it's only useful as an entertainment hub. I love coming to Sup Forums, it reminds me that I'll never be as brainlet as most of you genetically lobotomize fucks.

nah, come on man, there's no "project" that you could make with a raspberry that doesn't have a pre-made appliance equivalent
it's just a waste of time

>only sets mom back $35

OP is a fucking failure, like always

>torrenting server
literally babby's first Pi project

>print server
very useful in a home environment where you print 2 pages a month from the same device each time

>retro pi
I hook my laptop to the tv for couch gaming

sure, but most of the time those don't offer near as much flexibility as a pi with Linux on it. choice of language and workflow, direct manipulation of hardware, a complete and powerful toolset out of box and no proprietary loops to jump through. is it overrated, yes, but it's not useless.

It's like $30. Fuck with it like 3 hours and it's already worth it.

But if you know how to program it's pretty useful bridge to embedded computing for prototyping IoT or robots. I'm the former, my friend is the latter. He did his Thesis on a robot with a Pi now he makes six figures working for some Amazon owned startup.

I got one running 24/7 on various task. I am getting 2 RPi zeros to interface with my alarm system. OP lacks imagination.

Pi3 ~ 30$
All cables ~ 120$
7'' HDMI display ~ 400$
bluetooth keyboard/mouse ~ 20$
Yes, Pi3 money making marketing shit. Analog MacOS.

Are you buying cabels literally made of 100% gold? And a monitor? Why do you need that when there is ssh?

Who do you think that you can upset by acting retarded?

possibly.

the fuck

My RasPi is connected to my TV and it runs kodi (with plex and internet TV plugin), mpd and retropie. It performs the functions of a DVD player, CD player, game console and TV receiver... for $35.

yeah, but why?

I bought a Pi 3B, a wifi dongle, a PSU, a keyboard/touchpad, and a case for like $75 total.

I set it up to repeatedly sign up for "free wifi" trials and then share the connection through the wifi dongle.

Having unlimited "free wifi" for a one-time fee of $75 isn't too bad.

yea ive done several projects of raspberrys and its really useful for certain things

One project on 5g networking potential we tested real time image processing and used several raspberrys for capturing video and doing trivial calculations (it was all part of a larger system with top notch computers that simulated edge servers cant say much more about it its not open source)

one other thing for example ive done is that i created a media device for my grandma from a raspberry, tweaked linux os and the only thing it does is to play movies and its very easy to use. also i can remotely control it from home to add more movies or whatever to the library

so yes if you have specific projects in mind it can be a really useful tool

I ran a GA on mine simulating the crystal state in a neutron star. its plenty powerful.

I've been working on a Gentoo K8s cluster. I have distccd setup so compiling is actually not that bad when updating, and I have scripts to generate images from the gold server which deploys them to the workers over PXE boot, one at a time monitoring for successfully upgrades.

Glusterfs for distributed storage and flannel for networking.

When I add a new node, I just have to set a bit in its OTP to allow network boot, then plug it in and authorize it from the master cluster.

One thing I'm working on now is power management, I'd like to shut them down when utilization is low but I'm unsure how I'm going to handle turning them on at this point. No WoL.

I'd like this to be a truly scalable system in the end and it's getting there. Best part is the architecture is portable to other SBCs with only some minor tweaking (firmware blobs, kernel sources and config, block devices available).

Also for power management, I'm not using the GPIO pins to control power to workers, that'd make provisioning new nodes more complex, turn to spaghetti quickly, and isn't scalable.

dedicate one to waking the others up. have their power sources go through relays and have one in charge of them

ah nvm

I don't get it.

Pi3 ~50 euro.
rj45 cable ~2euro /or use RPi3 wifi
usb cable for power ~2euro
mircroSd ~10euro

I dont get it either. where do you live?

do you mean that public wifi hotspots have like a 1h or something limit, and you use the pi to rebroadcast the signal to your other devices and get around the time limit?

for 35 bucks what more do you need it to do?

>"free wifi" trials
What the fuck is this?

For some reason, public hotspots have shown up in the residential areas where I live. They'll give you an hour of free usage per 24 hour period. So, the Pi spoofs its MAC address, and signs up as a new user for a 1hr free trial every hour. Then it rebroadcasts the resulting internet connectivity to my other devices.

Since it gets a new IP address every time, it's almost like using a VPN as well.

You can make retro console with it iirc

No ulterior motives for those, I suppose.

I use my raspberry as a dedicated control center for managing literally 100s virtual instances in the cloud. I can ssh onto it, run configuration management software to build/maintain new software and an orchestration tool to run routine tasks(think cronjobs but all in one place). This is an image I can run anywhere, I chose a pie because its something super light I can take just about anywhere. Don't want to lug around a laptop when I'm traveling in very remote locations. Plus most people dont know what it is/dont see it as a valuable item(unlike a laptop) so that right there is added security/peace of mind. Just because you don't see the value in something doesn't mean it isn't there.

I have one that acts as a server for my 3D printer.
I have on that acts as a router, home assistant server, and manages everything on my network that crashes all of the time.
And one for general purpose Linux shit that I can't do on windows. Mostly because fractional display scaling on Linux never seems to work great and I like CAD software.

that's nice, honey, here's your (you)

I get download speeds around 4MB/s when I do the same thing on my laptop; which is about as fast as the paid offerings here.

If better internet was offered, I'd pay for it.

Wasn't it made with the intention of being used by younger students? What the hell happened to that? Instead of that, it gets turned into some crap you find in the checkout lane.

Yeah it's a V"P"N in the sense that anyone can see your shit

It's "free", or so you think.

I use mine for college. All I do is run RISC-OS and the text editor and write in markdown, and then transfer over.

It's made me absurdly productive that I can't waste time on things.

Just got an iBook G4 the other day, bought RAM and an SSD for it too. I have been running every single game available (and that I can find) for PPC. I have more fun playing the games on the iBook then I do my main pc. I love this little thing.

Not significantly different from a paid VPN service.

I still use a paid VPN service on my laptop--even when connected to the "free wifi"--but if the owners chose to, they could easily see my shit as well. Besides, when I use my VPS as a VPN, I run the risk of getting it shutdown if there's a copyright claim.

Complete invisibility online isn't really possible, so I just try to minimize the chance that someone would go through the effort to look at me to begin with.

I only spent $50 on it, I don't even remember where I got the gift card to get it. Never got around to using it though.

Are you me?

Recently started using mine as a Flask server for simple projects. it's great to have a silent server that consumes less power than my router, even if it is shit.

Got one for my dad for his file server, set it up for him and it works great.

I've also considered doing one for remotely turning on/off the heat at the cottage and monitoring temperature and power, but that would require a reliable internet connection.
