I've got one of these. What should I do with it?
Things I've done already:
>Installed RetroPie so I can play emulators
>Installed omxplayer, which is a hardware accelerated video player, which plays 1080p (and probably higher) video, buttery smooth, and without overheating the Pi
>I'm trying to get Ace Stream on there but it's a bit of a pain in the arse
What else could I do with it?
install gentoo
piHole
Mumble server
Stupid gamer.
Put it into a drawer or on a shelf
Just looked up that piHole thing, it looks interesting
Why so rude my friend? What's wrong with gaming?
I've got a case for it, pic related

We have four boards for you retards. Stop spreading your filth here.
I got one from a friend for helping him with some work. I also don't know what to do with it. I ran it once, realized I can do same shit on my laptop and more and never touched it again.
Put it into a cabinet, wire it up and start up some server software.
For example, get XMPP server software to get a private chat without any NSA/FBI/Facebook interference.
just buy a used pc/laptop off craigslist if fitting in your pocket isn't the reason to get one.
There is a magazine to Raspberry Pi: Pi Mag. Read it for TONS of ideas.
1. Did you really need to quote the entire thread
2. Yes I have Raspbian as well. What do you use yours for?
Yeah that's the thing, I can everything on my laptop, and with my laptop I don't have to worry about overheating
I've already got one, it was a gift, and I'm wondering what to do with it. I might have it as sort of a media centre thing, plugged into my TV, and then I can play retro games (with RetroPie) and watch films on it too
I use mine as a small home server of sorts. "cloud storage" but it's just a USB plugged into my pi at home.
Maybe I should do that. What sort of storage do you have plugged into it? A proper NAS thing, i.e. a server-rated hard drive?
Just an external HDD. It also runs a little webserver so I can get my start page from school, and a few other things like that. Worth looking into
>Just an external HDD
If I was doing that, I'd probably want it to be a server-grade HD, because normal drives aren't designed to be powered up 24/7. Do you worry about that?
Jonian/acestream-launcher
not that guy but i really need to do a backup of my little fileserver as well because it has been on 24/7/365 for the past 5 years now.
and that is with an already used 2-4 yr old 2.5" hdd.
i just use it to download movies/tv shows where it then transfers to my external 4TB drive that i've had for the past 3 years.
Server grade HD because its going to be on 24/7?
You are not going to read/write it 24/7. I dont see any problem with any kind of home grade HD
Not sure where I'm meant to get acestream-engine from
