Can I use my raspberry pi for something productive?

Pi-Hole

Why did you purchase a product without first having a use for it in mind?

To PIss you off!!!

Headless torrent client
private git/msql/webservice
vpn server to your network
etc...
And don't listen to fucking idiot that uses copy pasta with "bit perfect music playback" - rpi is not audiophile quality.

Nice backdor you have in your network there!

It's like I'm really on /diy/. Bonus points to OP for being so mind numbingly retarded that he can't even look up a project that is relevant to his interests among the THOUSANDS. AND FUCKING THOUSANDS. of projects out there for this common as fuck dev board.

Why are you even here?

I run shitty little microservice experiments written in Rust on it.
The thick case (and 30+ minute compile times---should probably figure out cross compiling at some point) limit the amount of manhate it can emit.

Hook it to spare peripherals at my helpdesk job to practice development during dead hours.

If you have a zero, build a p4wnp1

Install Gentoo.

Octoprint & Klipper for 3d Printing

ROS

OpenPLC

Machinekit

that's a cocksucking good idea

Put it back in the drawer next to your fidget spinner OP.

>Nice backdor you have in your network there!
He posted on a CIA honeypot forum with hardware full of backdoors.

But be grateful that the cia has no use for the endless hours of you jacking it off to furry shit.

Attach a camera to it, make some openCV shit and use it as a base for some kind of device with a chink clone of arduino as an I2C slave.

OP here, thanks guys, found some new suggestions, like I said I used mi pi as an emulator and got bored with it.

>Can I use my raspberry pi for something productive?
Somehow I doubt it. I just get that vibe from you.

Yesterday I taught myself microcontroller programming with one.
Its pretty cool and actually really easy if you know C at heart.

this

I have pi-hole, OpenVPN, Nextcloud, Sycthing, HomeAssistant and a web server on a OrangePi. It works fine, but Ethernet is limited to 100mb, will replace it soon with a Celeron or i3.

Put it in a solar panel setup near Starbucks and SSH into it every time you post on /pol.

Kek!

Har! Sweet. Assuming he owns furniture.

Run a discord bot

Torrent server + private tracker + kodi + external hdd

whats the point of private git? I am genuinely curious as I got a free one today at university.

pihole
fucks sake, we have similar threads like 3-4 times a week and the answer is always the same

Jesus are we having this thread /again/?

Ok, things you can do with a Raspberry Pi:
Hifi audio server for bitperfect playback, without any mechanical noise from hard disk spins or fans. Look into Volumio for a prepackaged distro, or 24bit96.com for how to build it yourself from scratch.
Turn it into a docker server to store files and generally learn how both docker and networking work, always a useful skill.
Set up a personal internet facing server to learn security, have it host files or be a mail server as well
Install Pihole and have a network-wide adblocker that speeds up browsing
Turn it into a Tor exit node and/or a bridge for Tor connections to both learn how Tor works and secure yourself to a higher degree.
Use it as an IRC bot, or any kind of bot for that matter.
Turn it into a seedbox to always be seeding torrents for private trackers.
Plug in a camera and hide it somewhere for security (or to spy on roasties)
Hide it in a public place and scan for handshakes on wifi networks.
Use it as a general playground for new shit like distros (arch, gentoo) or possible alterations to distros you want to test run before applying to a more important device, if you lack a laptop for that already.

why people buy thing without know what to do?
I bought one just to make a music player and that is what it is, and works great. I want another, but I don't what to make, so I don't buy it
It isn't that hard

>Hifi audio server for bitperfect playback
Is that actually noticable?

if you have the setup for it

There is no point, Gitlab lets you have private repos for free.

Listen to this guy

VPN, PiHole, Samba, Docker, custom Discord bot -> top uses sir, in that order

>samba
I think you mean NFS user.

Also tried hosting a local Git setup and Pi isn't strong enough performance wise to handle the loads (CPU and I/O for git changes, file pushes, etc.)

Really? I looked it up and a Pi should be able to /just/ host a git server if you overclock it and give it USB swap space.

Samba is a form of NFS, so yes, pick whatever you want

Except Samba is shit and has as much use as NTFS

Sure, go ahead and have at it messing around with your swap space and overclocking a $35 computer when Gitlab is free with private repos

>he trusts centralized servers not controlled by himself to handle his data
alright, cuck
