what should I do with my rPi model 2 B?
I've been using it for retropie but it's getting old as it's more convenient to emulate shit from my laptop.
I have a 10GB microSD, and shitty bluetooth and wifi dongles.
Obviously I have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard with it.
Also general Raspberry Pi thread
fuck I meant class 10 not 10GB
Raspbian so you can browse with it like you can do with your laptop.

Cloud, nas, multimedia...

The PiGrrl 2.0 was a lot of fun to build.

Design a system that controls the growth of plants. Lighting, water distribution, food distribution, etc. Now grow "plants"...
Build a home security camera using pi camera and some TCP/IP magic. Take pictures every second and upload them to a server. Make a home web sever with another RPI and post the pictures on the web server.

Until you get a dedicated server for it (NUC or something), use it as a torrent-machine. Install deluge and set it up correctly.
Also, sonar and couchpotato for automatic torrenting of media files.
I'm planning on doing a startup project to supply rpi3 to low-income children in rural schools with a workable computer and to teach them basic programming and mathematics. Rpi3 basically shits over OLPC at almost 1/3 its price.
Any reason why I shouldn't do it?

Currently working on it.
Can't wait for my automated "flowers" to bud

There are tons of people that do this with more powerful machines.

No, I partnered with a non profit that brought code literacy to the 'hood'. Probably one of the greatest experiences of my life

Firstly, you need a

Just to properly use Raspberry pi as a working computer. Even if Pi 3 has better performance than OLPC, in the end of the day, OLPC is still cheaper as a whole compared to pi.
I think it would be better if you give them netbooks instead. Netbook nowadays (while still a piece of trash) has gone leaps and bounds compared to the first eee pc and there are plenty of no-name chink brands that sell a pretty decent netbook for less than 100 bucks

Story?

Sadly, there's no money in education unless the state provides it.
Then, there's no money in the poor.
You are trying to make money by educating the poor? Good luck.

Maybe but consider this, I could give 3 rpi to them kids for the price of 1 olpc
Put Stratux on it, feed ADS-B data to Flightradar24

No, but instead I'm partnering with the state to provide computer learning aid to the children. Previously they did provide olpc but I think they could give a better computer at cheaper price. Providing the tools itself isn't where I draw profits from, it's the fact that I'm providing them with continuous support system so shit isn't just like one time deal

Huh, I actually missed that point

>and post the pictures on the web server.
and post them in random threads

I thought this too, but when I realised that it takes a more powerful processor to teach kids modern software to make them job ready, the pi fails. A banana pi cheaper, and the only uses I can teach them are basics and gpio functions. I love the pi, but its better to teach kids what will prepare them for the bigger companies.
