What should I do with my raspberry pi?
Sell it as soon as possible,
better and cheaper versions will keep coming while your rpi diminishes in value every passing day.
>>51984549
shove it up your ass
>>51984549
I want to buy a raspberry pi 2 b+ next week
Got any cool projects?
>>51984549
Download torrents with it.
Getting a BananaPi for Christmas (dat WiFi) and I'll hook it up to my 1TB eHDD and I'm good.

this.
>>51984549
hide it in somebody's wall and set up a reverse shell
>>51984549
Why the hell did you get one without knowing what you wanted to do with it?
>>51984549
>>51984671
Vpn server or torrent machine
>>51984764
The banana pro has a sata port and im probably gonna pick one or two up when im done getting all these fucking amazon gift cards
>>51984649
Came here to say this, left satisfied
Considering somebody beat me to it: OSMC or a openhab server
Works pretty well for a mailserver.
can it run mint? my dad needs a new computer just for browsing forums and watching youtube.
>>51984849
That may be a good idea. I don't have a use for the SATA port, I've got an external one that'll work better.
I'll use my internal HDD for games.
Put it in your asshole
>1gb RAM
what can you even do with it
>inb4 your ass
Create and host your own little website! We need to return back to the distributed web, and stop depending on on centralized services! Run a IRC or XMPP server on it! Together we can restore the former glory of the web! And don't forget to write black on white, minimal CSS HTML pages, with as little JavaScript as possible.

>what can you even do with it
You must be really young, huh? I've had a 256MB laptop, a 1GB phone and stuff like that. What are you, a millenial?
Make a cluster!
sell it
>>51984942
>banana pi
How happy are you with it?
>>51984549
I run gentoo on mine and use it for:
1. Providing tor access to other hosts in the LAN
2. Serving NFS shares on connected HDs
3. As a seedbox with rutorrent for a webinterface on lighttpd

I was expecting more performance wise: if I was in you I'd buy an A20 Orange PI (they are cheaper and have more ports as well) though.
Also, the A20 is on the back of the board: this is retarded since you can't use any heatsink.
There's also the H3 OrangePI PC (the top one) that outperforms the rest of the boards together but right now there's only one kernel available and proprietary binaries everywhere. Still my favourite board, tho - got it for 16€ incl shipping on aliexpress.
>>51985044
Oh and I also use it to share audio to the LAN and as a visualizer.
>>51985045
But as a torrentbox it'd work, right?
>>51984892
They're $35 open source computers. What can't you do with them? I made a mini laptop out of one. Go back to reddit.
>>51985100
I'd get an Olimex board since they are built like tanks and the fastest networking-wise (some models have gigabit as well)
>>51985108
Doing this right now but with a bananapi. what did you use for your battery, how did you make a case, and how do you shut the screen off when you close it?
>>51985127
OK. I've only got a bananapi on hand (Christmas) but I think I'll be okay. My home connection is a big bottleneck (fastest download is around 600 kB/s)
>>51985301
Oh, then youll be allright. Have fun with your banana
get a home server, a touchscreen monitor that supports linux, a nice set of speakers and an amp
transfer your music to server
install plex
build a jukebox (pi + monitor)
???
profit
>>51985060
Any pics of your setup? Do you use the *pi as the music player? What software does the visualizer use? What about sharing music on LAN?
>>51984872
Yeah, only the 2 though

>tfw no ethernet
pihole is pretty cool
>>51984549
Stick it into you pooper.
>>51984849
>torrent machine
The Ethernet port is just a shitty USB port, you'll pull and push 5Mb max, it's a terrible idea unless your connection is garbage.
Normally people have a specific need and then buy a product to fulfill that need. You on the other hand are so stupid that you purchased a product before having an actual need for it.
In this case, the best use for it is to shove it down your esophagus so that you choke to death.
>>51985938
Thinking of this, what ARM boards DO have a dedicated networking interface?
>>51984549
Eat it.
There's starving kids in Africa who'd eat that shit
Run a tor relay on it. Or an exit node
>>51985653
Stop spamming this in every thread, fuckface.

Any way to set those up in some rack? All those boards just laying there unorganized triggers me
>>51986404
Legos.
>>51984549
Kill your wife, your kids, and then yourself with it.
>>51984549
Play global thermal nuclear war on it with your technology enthusiastic girlfriend
>>51984649

>tfw no WiFi on any pi
>>51984649
>>51986099
And get absolute shit performance from the network on it.
>>51984549
Stick it in your are, cunt.
>>51986470
That's cool as hell. Just saw some guy in another thread use legos to support his gpu so they can definitely deal with the heat from a few pi's.
I made a samba server to share and store files between computers locally. Its bretty good.
>>51986654
Use the transparent ones if you are worried about heat, they're made of a different material.
>>51986404
I have access to a CNC machine and I'm gonna make an enclosure for it with a proper ventilation system (stolen from a ps3)
>>51984931
1 Gig isn't even enough to watch jewtube shit nowadays
Here are some ideas:
VPN server
Mail and/or webmail server
Web server
Torrent / Usenet box
HTPC
Tor entry node
NAS (SAMBA on LAN / sshfs over WAN)
Self hosted storage (OwnCloud, optionally with CardDAV, CalDAV)
Music server (mpd)
Audio conferencing (Mumble)
Is running your own cloud service a meme? OwnCloud is any good?
I heard western digital is selling RPis with owncloud and a 2.5" HDD.
>>51984649
Is it small enough to install in my colon?
>>51987263
It's slow, so don't use it if you plan to use it for large file transfers. For small files it works OK though, but resort to SSH SFTP (like sshfs, for example) for bigger files.
create a bomb/detonator kits and sell to saudi sponsors.
>>51984549
install znc
install openvpn
attach nas for backups and muh movies/tv shows
>>51984649
But does my ass respect my freedoms? Can I examine the source code?
>>51987736
your ass is mostly controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system so it is decidedly close-sourced and absolutely does not respect your freedoms
>>51987091
512mb is good enough for youtube
>>51988293
Hell, I still have my original model B with 256MB, and that runs OSMC just fine.
I also have a separate sd card with Raspbian and PirateBox, which I just use as a local server that I can stage small things on.
>buying something without having a purpose for it.
Why op?
>get an RPi Model B, 256 MB
>want to set it up as an NAS or media server of some sort with my external 1TB drive
>realize I'm too lazy to actually learn how to set that up, password protect it, and use it
And now I'm stuck with my desktop that said drive is attached to on another floor of the house with nothing but my SSD'd Chinkpad as I recover from having an internal organ removed. Truly this is the face of hubris.
>>51989480
RPi is super shit at NAS so nothing was lost.
Use it as a porn image viewer or a hentai manga/doujin viewer site similar to e-hentai and ExHentai. Is that even hard to do to make a site like ExHentai? How many SSDs or HDDs would I need anyway?
>>51989588
Except all of this time spent without catching up on the hours of backlogged shows I could be watching while I recover. I realize the USB and Ethernet controller are shared, but I'm sure it could at least handle streaming my Cambodian Papyrus Scratchings.
