What should i do with this raspberry pi i just bought?
>>54156503
shove it up your vagina.
>>54156503
realise it's useless and put it in a drawer never to be seen again
Throw it away.
But you'll probably >>54156535 in a week
HTPC or retro gaming emulator are the only things to do with it
install openelec, I use almost every day
>>54156503
I don't understand. Why did you even bought this if you don't know what to do with it? Are you retarded?
I did this with the 1st generation a month after realizing how horrible it was.

I heard it's an extremely efficient dust collector. Because of the large surface area of the board it collects up to three times as much dust as comparable dust collectors, such as analog cameras, books and dumbbells.
Unless you want it for some HW project (like custom garage door control) its literally useless. Waste of cables and space in your home and your time. Just spin up a new VM for fucks sake. If you are so poor that you cant afford €2 per month for a VM equivalent of a raspberry then your job sucks. If you are still a student you can get VMs for free
Use it for the purpose for which it was obtained.
Excellent thread
To be fair though i came here because mine has been in a drawer several months
>>54156503
post a thread on /g/ asking what you should do with it.
dedicated torrent client and NAS.
>>54156788
Woah. That was a waste of money.
Install gentoo

I literally just got the same one
I have no idea what to do with it yet. Maybe I'll just make it into some sort of media computer.
I suppose I could do some web dev work on it too because that shit is so fucking simple to set up on Linux and a bit more a ballache to manage on my MacBook

It's all about ripping people off as hard as you can while making them think they are getting a fair deal.

pee on it, post pics.
if you are too poor for shit like that, don't post in the first place you insensitive fuck

You're god damn right
Stuff it up your boipussi, buffalo bill.
You got meme'd son
Those things are useless as fuck if you're not doing a school project for them
Poo on it
I've read varying reports on the Pi 3's ability to run emulators, like PiPlay. I've heard it can handle some older stuff well, but once you hit like N64 era, it loses frames like mad.
Anyone have any experience with this? And if the Pi 3 is shit (which it seems it is), is there a similar but better alternative?
>>54157951
My Pi 2 is great for old games. I mainly play SNES generation and older for consoles, and CPS2/CPS3 for arcade. If you want to emulate newer games then just use your PC.
>>54157991
I'm looking to set up a small cabinet on the cheap (already sourced most of the lumber for free). I was reading some reviews where people were saying even Stella was lagging, and that's where I start wondering how the fuck that's possible. Atari isn't exactly resource heavy.
>>54156694
I got the games and artwork to show up but I can get an emulator to play the games on openelec.

Owncloud and torrenting machine. Airplay server. Retropie. Or Kodi player.
Throw it away
>>54156503
People who tell you raspberry is useless dont know how to use it properly and doesnt know anything about programming nor electronics, so ignore them
>>54156503
Use it to run a 24/7 always listening reddit bot that corrects people's grammar.
>>5415650
You bought it without knowing what to do with it? Why?
>>54157581
capitalism is legit though. i like to refer to it as the dumb person tax.
>>54157507
>what is doesn't work in Python
>what is didn't work in command line
I then find out it was even worse because the Pi couldn't into precise timing like Arduino. Hammer time!
>>54157279
Banana pi is much better for that though

I just ordered some servos and was thinking of making a weetabix dispenser for myself so I could just push a button on my phone and dispense a weetabix to my plate.
>>54156503
Build a NAS or Micro Server.
You've bought it without having a use for it?
Install a VPN server to surf on public networks.
Code a scraper that gets data from your hobbies/whatever and does something with it.
I use a pi 2 as an emby client in my bedroom, a pi 3 for the same thing in my living room, another pi 3 to spam some faggots chat site and a pi a+ as an automated vivarium controller.
>>54163386
Pi is great for controlling arduino via serial.
Eat it
Delicious pie ;-)

>another pi 3 to spam some faggots chat site
hahaha, sounds good, a little more detail?
>>54165984
It runs a bash script that keeps changing my IP via VPN, starts chromium with a random user agent and multiple tabs so there is just a current shitstream of random users joining and leaving every 30 seconds. It also used to spam the chat area with random numbers/letters but I've been to lazy to get that part of it working again after he added the requirement to login after registering registering with a random Nick/password.
I remember a couple of years ago everyone on /g/ was bragging about getting one.
Glad I didn't jump on the meme band wagon.

>>54156503
Configure it as an always-on torrent box
>>54159880
..yet
For a board of computer "experts" you think we would have better responses then "throw it away" "shove it in X" "it's useless"
Posibilites:
AirPlay, seed box, cloud, VPN, emulator, Apache/php server, security camera, router..ect.

Pirate radio
Here are some ideas:
Web server
Mail server (with DKIM, SPF, DMARC)
VPN server
Remote storage
Music streaming
NAS
HTPC
VoIP server
BitTorrent client
Usenet client
Tor entry node
Tor relay node
RADIUS authentication server for your Wi-Fi
Authoritative name server for your domain (with DNSSEC, DANE, SSHFP, OPENPGPKEY)
Resolving-only name server for your devices (with DNSSEC and DNSCrypt)
System monitoring of your devices
Pro-active supervision of monitored services
NIDS/NIPS
Connect it to some unsecured network near you and have it monitor what people are doing on it, collecting statistics on most visited sites, googled topics, the porn they're watching, etc
Become your very own NSA man
Make it portable. Don't care how you do it, you just need an enclosure, a battery, a screen, and input devices.
Gents, I've been wanting to get one for the sole purpose of using it as an ftp controller. However I'm having some difficulty finding compatible ftp software that doesn't involve a lot of Linux code configuration. Does anyone know of any code friendly software?

I use my Raspberry Pi B+ for NAS and for controlling my cheap chink bluetooth light bulb with speaker by web service. Also, it controlls my lighbulb automatically by making it dimmer/brighter depending on the current time.
I also plan extending the lighbulb control to make it switch hue by a bit depending on the temperature of the room, but I don't have a thermometer yet.
I don't even need all that shit but I still decided to do it.

I bought a Pi 2 when I had a bunch of cool ideas, then I realised all the nice peripherals are expensive as fuck and it started to collect dust.
Then I found an old Atmega32 in my electric junk box, it had never been used since I couldn't get my hands on a programmer back when I got it, after some searching on the web I managed to turn the Pi into a programmer.
Probably the best use I can think off, you can write the code, compile and dump it on the AVR microcontroller with just the pi, so that makes it really easy to experiment with.
>>54168786
Where did you get the information to make all that

>buy x first and then ask random people on an image board what to do with it
Is acting a bit logically and doing the same thing in the opposite order too hard?
