Ozbargain had a place selling raspberry pis for a decent price and I decided to order one.
Anyone here have one? And what do you use it for? I'm thinking it would be a chance to learn docker, I can use it to run pihole and still have it set up as an emulation station
PiHole / bit of content filtering for the kids.
I'm very light touch here: I'd rather know they were going to PornHub and then know it's time to have "that" conversation than try to stop them going to PornHub.
I'll need to look into the synth side. We went to a community festival recently and they had plants with soil sensors hooked up to an RPI that played notes when you touched them.
I'm pretty sure the organelle is just an RPI in a fancy case as well
I have 2, I've got a 4b which I got to build a little NAS with, but my last place wasn't a fan of that idea so it never happened. Currently not in use.
I also have a zero W I got recently to run a lightweight python script that just archives a webpage once per day into the Wayback machine. In the future, I'll probably use the 4b either for a more complex archiving script (I discovered a nice CLI utility with a lot more features than the one I made), probably run on some sort of Cron job and possibly modify it to be easily configured remotely from any device, rather than just SSHing.
I'm going to use the 4b to run a local ArchiveBox instance and a Tube archivist instance to archive some YouTube channels eventually.
Once you find your niche, you can do pretty much anything with it. My niche is archiving and datahoardery, so anything like that will probably run on one of my pis at some time in the future
The very first computer that I owned was a Commodore 64, and just for nostalgia's sake I like the idea of having a computer that's a modern take on that all-in-one keyboard design.
I didn't end up getting one, but if that design is on special, I might be interested?
I've had a pi 3b for a few years. Originally bought for uni projects and since then has been sitting idle.
They are great if you're interested in projects like that - I told myself years ago that I would set up pi-hole etc, but just never got around to it.
Gonna try and sell it with all the breadboards and sensors etc.
Let me know if you have questions
