Wow who would've thought right? Why did you buy one anyway?
It's not really meant to replace a desktop...

Fucking retards buying shit just because is hip and trendy and then asking what to do with them, get out of /g/ and never come back again.
>>54800464
Its a dust collector.
You just put it in a drawer and let it do its thing.

What's the point of a Raspberry Pi? It's too weak for normal computing but too expensive and power-hungry for embedded systems
>>54800464
>>54800464
Buy a $300 "laptop case" for it.
>>54800508
It can't even play 720p video.
>>54800568
The bait is strong it this one.
I play 1080p 40mbps videos with subtitles no problem on it.
>>54800573
mpv stutters pleb.
There is no reason to own own unless you are 12 and schools give them out.
>>54800600
Stop using a shitty player that doesn't implement hardware acceleration correctly then, faggot.
Web and media server, easy to setup, runs like a charm
i bought the old B model a coule of years ago because it was supposed to be a good little XBMC device.
it wasn't.
i'm sure the newer ones with better cpu and more ram must run it fairly well though
>>54800611

>>54800464
If you dont have an auto-torrenter already, set it up with transmission, couchpotato and sickrage.
It's incredibly helpful if you have a media-center such as plex.
personally once I got a dedicated plex machine (for 150-200$, able to handle multiple transcoding streams) the pi became completely useless since I just do the automatic torrenting, file sharing and vpn on the dedicated plex machine.
Raspberry pi is only useful if you don't have alternatives.
>>54800618
I have the more old A model and it works great for XBMC, I use kodi on my phone as remote control, never had an issue
>>54800631
>shitty player stutter while others don't
>not shitty
That isn't even bait anymore.
>>54800636
>mfw trying to figure out how to get transmission-cli working
I have it setup as storage and torrent for when I am away and want to torrent something so I can dl or stream it later.
Not getting much use other than a seed box and end of the world movie/games storage
Raspberry Pi is awesome. Mine is connected to an Arduino, which serves as a hub for multiple sensors. Rpi uploads the data to my server while being capable of pushing new code to be executed by Arduino.
>>54800666
>power fails
>ssd corrupts
wew
mail server, small website server, i2p/tor node maybe even shared file server but it's not viable as an HTPC on it's own since it can't even handle mpv
>>54800639
>someone had a different experience to me so it must be bait

What font famalam? Lookin' sleek.
>>54800740
Not an ssd there but i have an ssd in my laptop and out of the many times I've had to hard reset I only had corruption happen once and it was negligible, fixed with fsck just hitting yes on every prompt.
Its a old samsung evo too, so I can only imagine the data protection on power loss has gotten better. Am I wrong?
>>54800507
how do you set up a dns cache?
>>54800816
The stock s7 font. Tried to to find it cause I like it too but couldn't find a name. Maybe it's the stock marshmallow font
Mine are collecting dust
>>54800881
edit your hosts file lol
>>54800888
Ok thanks i'll have a lil look around
I wonder how it'd function as a git; mediagoblin; mail server or Tor node?
>>54800543
I use mine for emulation and am going to be putting mine into an Apple lisa case next month and have a retro gaymin desktop.
Don't buy one unless you know what you want to use it for. It's a hobbyist machine, not a normie computer.
I'd buy a BBB before I bought a Pi. Both are about the same price but a BBB can run without proprietary firmware or blobs.
>>54800888
Think i got it, Droid Sans Mono, pic related, which is a the default on android systems.
got mine set up as a retrogaming station, along with Kodi, and a Raspbian Desktop. Use the Epiphany browser, it actually works decently, and i've gotten it to play 720p Youtube videos without a hitch, and no lag/stutter. Im pretty sure it supports hardware acceleration. Honestly, i run the desktop for ROM management, as well as if people need to check their email etc
Put Windows 10 on it.
No?
>>54800656

Seriously, what the fuck is with all the people who buy SBCs without doing any research or having a plan on what to do with them? Why do you retards go and throw your money at shit that you don't even have a use for?
>>54802144
>Use the Epiphany browser, it actually works decently, and i've gotten it to play 720p Youtube videos without a hitch, and no lag/stutter.
Share your secrets. I tried the Epiphany browser just today and it constantly froze. Netsurf works well but then it has no js support.
The purpose of single board computers isn't to be used as a general purpose computer. They can do the job in a nutshell, but that's not what they're for.
Do you see those little pins sticking upward on the board, on the opposite side of the HDMI port? Those are called GPIO pins. You can use those to send electrical signals to basically whatever. Hook it up to a breadboard, make an LED light up, or do something more complex like making a home alarm system or some shit. Either way, what you have is a device that can act as a micro-controller, but is a bit more flexible, because it can also communicate over USB and ethernet, and I think wireless as well, and it has a CPU for some general computation if need be.
In any case, why the hell did you buy this thing? I'm going to guess you already have a laptop or a desktop that can do web browsing, so it makes little sense to just buy another machine for the same task, especially given its low specs. Do you buy things just because other people have them and therefore must be cool? If so, you're just as retarded as an Apple user.
>>54800568
lel
I play 1080 video all the time faggot
How good is a BBB for a small media server?
whats good media player for raspi?
>>54800860
yes, you are wrong.
>>54802794
i did some sudo apt-get update and upgrade
i have the RetroPie 3.6 image installed
im running a RasPi 2
i did install gnash (flash for raspberry pi) but the Pi is using HTML5 in the browser.
using LXDE
overclocking to 1 ghz
>>54800600

What player?
I can only get 720p without tearing/aids/whatever
>get raspberry pi
>plugin external drive
>can't power it
fucking garbage
>>54803474
probably some shit like VLC
that piece of junk isn't meant to handle stuff like mpv, even stuff like a webserver and a mailserver is already stretching it
>>54803650
lel probably happened to a few cúcks here, externals without their own power supply are haram anyways
>>54803650
set max_usb_current in the /boot/config.txt to 1
>>54803725
Congrats, now you get power failure unless you have a non-standard power supply with 2V+
>>54803748
Disregard that voltage, I'm a faggot.
>>54803748
2A, yes everyone should have that.

I use mine for circuitry work and as a web server. Currently building a cluster for my data centre.

Raspberry Pi is worse than Pentium 4.
It's like comparing the speed of Android device with a desktop computer.
If you feel sluggish when you're browsing with P4, Raspberry Pi is even worse.

>What do I do with this hunk of shit?
Replace your wireless router with it.
http://www.htpcguides.com/arm-pi-media-server-installer-images-download-page/
Just install these images and turn it into a dedicated torrent box with automated scripts. They automate all the installs for you, it's pretty good.
>>54807255
It should be noted that test was done with the original RPi and that the RPi 2 and RPi 3 are both significant improvements over the original RPi with newer quad core processors and 4x the amount of RAM.
>>54800464
You wasted your money if you need to ask /g/ what to do with it.
>>54800543
It's only 'good' because there's a lot of software and documentation for it available. It's like Windows.
>>54800464
you have small, powerful ARM board with gpio pins, you can do anything
build a robot, or better, build small rocket and shoot it in stratosphere, make it take some nice photos and track it down with some usb gps and gsm modem
you can also broadcast radio, there is some kind of wizardy that makes memory frequency blah blah anyway it can vibrate like proper fm transmitter would, i connected it to big antenna and had almost one kilometer of usable range

>tfw I've had a Pi Zero for months and no use for it
I bought it just because I got a back in stock email and knew it was my only shot
Works excellent as a personal email server.
I use my Pi2 for RetroPie. It runs most of the games I care about at full speed. I also run it with a scanline overlay and it looks pretty authentic.
>NES, SNES, Genesis, PSX
>CPS2, CPS3, most older arcade games
There are some demanding arcade games like the MK series and certain Cave shmups like Mushihime-sama that either don't run or run like complete shit. So it's not perfect, but for most older stuff it's great.
