What should I do with my raspberry pi /g/?
>>54304583
run a home server off of it
use it to torrent and store all of your anime
>pi meme

I want to make use of the GPIO.
sell it
running kodi. Also a terminal server because hax.

>>54304664
Use it with some kind of button which ch starts a process of the pi. You can script gpio with bash or python.
That is really easy

Just think of something that could make your life easier.

>TFW getting cucked by arm
I wish I waited for the x64 RPI 3 fuck
>>54306399
In what instance would you have a router hundreds of km away?
>>54306593
All operating systems for the Raspberry Pi 3 are 32-bit, mostly because they're shares with the RPI 2. Wait for proper software support to come to 3, and if it doesn't, don't bother.
>>54306593
you need a heat sink dude
shit is HOT AF and power hungry
I WANT TO SET UP MY RASPBERRY PI AS A SEEDBOX WHAT DISTRO DO I GO WITH
>>54306711
Gentoo, obviously
>>54306667
I just want to put popcorn time on it for my dad. I know there is a program to emulate x86 on ARM but that shit costs money. Is it possible to do it for free?
>>54306642
Vpn? Are you even trying?
>>54306642
Is this a serious question?
Question for Raspberry Pi 3 owners. Can it play 480p h.264 video in a window with mplayer or vlc and a web browser open along side it? OMX player is super for full screen video, but I've yet to see whatever proprietary magic it uses work inside of other open source video players. It's annoying there is no simple hardware accelerated decode in windowed mode. I had hoped with faster CPU and 2d opengl acceleration it wouldn't need hardware decode to play 480p without choking.
>>54306955
Probably.
But I don't think you can do more than 2 tabs, and don't think about youtube when you're watching a windowed video.
>>54304583
do butt stuff with it.
>>54304583
scrape all of the images on /b/
>>54306216
This would be fine for streaming music
>>54304679
Get real retard a Pi its powerful enough to run OpenVPN server, proxy server, web server, and play Minecraft at a playable frame rate all at once.

Weve made this alot more then 6 times. I have a pi zero, 2 and 3 that are idle. My problem is I cant think of anything to do that isnt better done by a chromcast, real pc, or a freenas jail.

You can send the Zero to me

I have moved shit off the pi onto better hardware. Mostly I use them now for testing python shit before putting it in a freenas jail.

Got it from microcenter at base price. Sold out everywhere and I just happened to see one on a shelf. Holding onto it cause I want to get ahold of an old roomba and buld remote controls for it.
Then eventually have a server control the roomba custom when I want it.
>>54304583
install gentoo on it

I use pi's to host bots. R/n I'm hosting a music bot for discord and a file server for my home network.
>>54306740
Get real, it's not really feasible to do that and get performance good enough to torrent + playback HD video without it catching fire
is it possible to get one of these and configure it to crack wireless nets?
>>54306667
Link to this video? Have been looking forever
>>54308659

These things don't have the poop. You can use it to capture handshakes and scan for vulnerable devices tho.

Intel edison is a big more money but it has more power and I think x86 native.

Can a raspberry pi handle h265 or 10 bit video or am I doomed to go the HTPC/shield TV route?

just learn ARM
it's easier than x86

Oddly enough the Pi 3 has a separate bus for WLAN while still using the same bus for LAN and USB. Then again for proper home server usage you're better off buying a second hand (thinline) server anyway.
>>54304662
The 3b is totally usable as a desktop replacement except muh gaymen.

Nothing works with acceleration but omxplayer at this time anon. I heard tell about a patch for gstreamer that will allow windowed viewing but didn't look into it.
>>54308830
I don't understand these things. sometimes I read they can do a lot of things and some others they just don't have enough power to do anything.
but I know nothing, so it's not strange
>>54304583
Here ya go, pleb. If you really want to level up, setup a local Blynk server, create your own SSL certificate, and start building some hardware to interface to the PI. Now, stop being a faggot.
>>54306216
I use a pi 2 as a seed box and anime streamer and works fine with literally everything i've downloaded including some real autistic blu ray rips
It's honestly fine

I would like to see someone try and make a DSLR with a Raspberry Pi that actually uses a known DSLR lens.
I saw one there they were able to use a Nikon lens, but the basic camera at that time was crap.
Sony is releasing a new camera module which might do a better job.
You should install Gentoo on it

>>54311489
I heard odroid has problems with an old as fuck kernel though and no support
>>54311489
Considered.
And immediately rejected. No support, no future.

I use mine to torrent shit all of the time, kohai.
I also run VPN and a few other things at the same time.
Just get out.
>>54308886
no. h265 uses cpu as there is no hardware acceleration. it lags like shit.
>>54311701
>>54311638
Odroid has better support.
rPi uses proprietary broadcom videocore shit.
>>54304583
Get the new IR camera, place it on a rotatable arm controlled by your Pi and stitch together the pictures to a seamless 360 degree panorama for browsing online. Place it on the roof and scan for fire, making it a fire guard.
Get the Pi magazine (freely available) and look through for more ideas.
>>54312358
VideoCore is documented and you can get software for it.
You got similar doc. for ARM Mali?
>>54312421
Mali have binary drivers for both Linux and the latest Android, Broadcom doesn't.
Mali also have working open source drivers, broadcom doesn't.
I too recently fell for the meme. Thought maybe I'd use it as a mini computer for quick computing in rooms where my pc would be impractical, like a neat little PC in the kitchen or something. But this piece of shit can barely even load midori without crashing after seven tabs are open and you can't run ANY fucking software on it
>>54312464
yea idk why anyone uses broadcoms shit and suggests they're open source..
>>54312421
>>54313186
At the time of development (8 or more years ago), the Videocore 3 then 4, they were more powerful than the Mali. In addition, the videocore includes a camera ISP, LCD drivers etc, which the Mali does not. Also, the VC uses less power for the same performance, which was important for the mobile space it was aimed at.

I have a really shitty projector that I've been thinking of putting my pi into to make an emulator projector all in one thingy.
My problem is every time I get around to doing anything pi related the SD card keeps corrupting itslf. I've used 4 different SD cards and they all get corrupted the first time I restart the pi. It just makes me not want to deal with the pi bullshit
How do you keep the SD card from getting corrupted?
>>54308935
I want to cum in her face
>>54313527
Never happened to me. Maybe use better SD cards?

>>54313909
I heard its to do with shitty power supplies that corrupts them
>>54313931
wat? How? I was powering it from my laptop at the time, but it wasn't driving anything power hungry. Literally only usb and lan connected to the pi at the time.

>connect it to your TV

that's less than half the asked power.. there's your problem.
the only times they get corrupted is overclocking or bad power suppllies, idk why and idk how that even makes sense but that's what happens.
>>54314546
how do I have it connected to my laptop via USB AND power it sufficiently at the same time then??
>>54314707
>Flash distro of choice to SD card
>Use spare 1A phone charger for power, 2A of you use a lot of USB devices on it.

Turn it into an XBMC box and give it to your parents.
If you don't already know what you need it for it's probably too complex for you to do anything with it anyway. Arduino on the other hand.
The hardware isn't good enough to warrant not just buying a cheap computer from a yard sale and it's not very accessible if you want to use the gpio pins like the arduino is.
sell it and get an Odroid C2
