So I found out how to put a raspberry pi zero inside of a laptop. I don't know what to do with it.
What are some interesting things to do with raspberry pi zero?

Run a website that lists all the things one can do with a Pi so people stop making these stupid threads.

>not buying atmega chips for $1 for all of your projects.
PIs and arduinos are only useful if you are a brainlet and can't into c.
You can turn it into a crappy webserver or media home server if you wanted.
I don't see a reason you'd want one stuck to your laptop.

Raspberry Pi Zero would be useful if it could be turned into IDE Harddrive or CDROM emulator.
Good for retro PC stuff. But nobody managed to do that.
Charles Sanchez
because the target market consists of brainlets

what about netpi-ide ?

but atmega doesn't have WiFi, i would rather get a ESP8266 or ESP32.
Pi zero could be cool as controller which uses existing software. For example a smarthome controller, or a central node in some mesh network.
Owen Bennett
Imagine turning the Pi Zero into an universal floppy disk controller with USB connection.
I wish I had programmer skills since I'd love to do this.

I have no idea what purposes you could use that for. I did see the article, and am at a loss myself why I would do that.
As for the uses for a RPI Z, here is a list of things I use mine for
>dns server
>web server
>VPN server
>script runs to collect my current IP, modifies my OVPN file with these details and emails it to me
In the past I have run the following on the device
>XLNA server
>seeding torrents via deluge
>SMB share for archiving
>Apple II emu
>Mac os 7 emu
>windows 95 inside QEMU
That last one runs like shit, do not recommend ever. Waste of goddamn time.
I found uses for it to justify why I had it. I’m glad I have it though. It was pretty fun to set these services up.

Mine broke so thats why I was looking into a pi to put something cheap there.

Why?
Thomas James
Buy a laptop with shit specs but with a lightweight/chassis/screen you like, hollow it out and put the RPi in
It’s what I do and the laptop is super light

domain updater if you are hosting shit locally
Any other service you want 100% uptime for outside your network in very small power consumption

WireGuard server?
Justin Wood
I use mine to run hourly scripts on datasets which would be cost-prohibitive to run on a vps.
Kevin Cruz
I use mine to run accounting software. Pdfs go in, ocr happens, open office spreadsheet comes out.

I came here to post this.

Juan Harris
it's pretty much only good for retro gaming or very small web apps

if anybody else has set up an owncloud server on one, can they explain why the owncloud windows client loads videos instantly through the cloud meanwhile mounting it on linux makes it take 5 minutes to load a video?
Liam Scott
It's not like it cost much.

You could also install one in a hotel or another public locale to remain anonymous when you need to be.

there are far better things you could do with the $5.
