>shit, I'm posting with it right now
How is it for watching video? Might get one for my parents.

>Do you own one?
Yes
>What to do use it for?
It's attached to my TV but never gets used, I'm open to suggestions.

Ass hurt Intel trannies still butt mad that Edison flopped.

Fucking Talpiot Program faggot incels.

I used a pi zero to turn some appliances into "smart" appliances

what did you do?

nigger rigged the "on" switch on a coffee maker to a couple gpio pins and a relay, wrote a shitty python script on a pi zero to turn it on in the morning and turn it off at noon.

Still more than you did. I made a machine that shocked your mom’s disgusting pussy flaps every time they unfurled and dragged on the ground like some grotesque diseased snail.

The amount of money put towards the Pi hardware, plus the time wasted programming, configuring, and troubleshooting would have been better put to use spending slightly more on a coffee maker that already has those extremely basic functions.

>dont learn anything or improve yourself, just spend more money

Okay US government sounds good!

Now she is, thanks to my GPIO machine.

Stupid Incel tranny shill. You’re just angry you faggots spent a billion on Edison and nobody gave a fuck.

You’re kidding right. Just run the default lists and you’ll never have a problem.

I'd like to make a speed reading device that I can hang on my wall/ceiling, kinda like what you see on the gif. It would be really nice for night reading so I can fall asleep without any effort.

What kind of Raspberry Pi compatible screen can I use for a project like this one? I'd like to be able to control brightness, and it should be able to display long words, so, I'd favor a screen that has a nice horizontal proportion.

I wish I can do this but my ISP put me in double NAT and several other users use the same IP as mine

Holy shit how is that legal, your network is like your household. Thats the same as throwing a bunch of beaners that aren't related into the same household.

IPV4 depletion and being in a country with shitty jew ISPs. It sucks really.

I'm setting up a VPN that I'm going to charge idiots 7.99 a month to use with BS salespeak like,
"Why would you want your data in Lebanon or whatever? This VPN is right here in the US! It increases international security!"

programming my AVRs

Considering the small screen size required for that, it would be pretty easy to go the AR route with a small OLED screen and a single eye's parabolic reflector. I'd quite like to do the optical calculations regarding that.
Monitor-wise, I'm unsure whether the GPIO ones have an option to change the backlight brightness or not, but it would be an easy change if you hooked up a little constant-current dimmer with digital pot to the backlight's pins. But the GPIO ones tend to be pretty small, so I'd go for an old laptop LCD, plugged into one of those cheap lcd driver boards. Separating the backlight pins should be fairly easy.

Made a Nixie Clock with one running python. Sadly lost the pi tho with my code on it and have been too lazy to redo it. Plan on making a shell for it and stuff. Pic related is a few months old

Can someone tell how powerfull/efficient raspi is core wise compared to latest intel/amd cpu?

Like if I get multiple raspi and the total core count (or even double core count) will be the same as some high end consumer cpu with same amount of cores. Given some highly concurrent task that scales well with multicore will I see an improvement in performance with multiple raspi or will i7(which is what I currently have) still outperform them?

I am thinking of building a small cluster but I dont want to just waste money if I can just a use single cpu that I own to emulate said cluster.

So fucking based

Pihole, apache2 server, Samba server for my camera, Traccar server, Deluge server for downloading shit, and I use it to monitor my shit tier router.

You kinda lost me on the parabolic reflector part, I'm barely starting to work on DIY projects like this one, so, my experience is quite limited. If I understood correctly, you're talking about using a small OLED screen that's going to be enlarged by a lens? Sounds like a very elegant solution.

I was eyeing a 32x16 RGB LED matrix panel as well, I guess I could put two of these together so I get that nice horizontal distribution while being able to read the characters clearly from ~2.5 meters, the refresh rate also seems appropriate.

The second setup seems a lot simpler, but I really like the OLED suggestion you presented, do you think the OLED solution would be really hard for a beginner?

Kodi on my tv, source from my nas

It's kinda common in shithole countries
I pay about 35 bucks for a non-symmetric 80mbps DL connection, however i have to pay 60 bucks more if i want to be put outside of their NAT.

if you're talking about a desktop i7 like 9750k which is 3.6-4.9 GHz with 8 cores then you're going to need a lot of raspberry pi's to beat that

I got a 3B+ a few months ago, I used it for emulation but now I mostly use it for with kodi.
I've been looking for something else to use it for but I'm still new to it.

>lens
Actually a partially reflective mirror. Some, if not all AR headsets work by having a partially reflective mirror in front of your eyes, so when you look forwards you can see both what's in front of you and what's in the reflection. The mirrors are angled so you're not just looking back at your eyes but at a screen, and curved as to make you able to focus on both what's in the distance and the screen in the helmet at the same time. Magnification may also be a factor.
The OLED I was referring to is a 1" diagonal, 128x32px OLED. The size is enough to contain most words, and the resolution is enough to make them legible, but obviously it's far too small. The thought was that the magnification effect of the curved mirror would make it more legible. They're piss-easy to drive with even an arduino, just send it letters in the code and it prints out letters, no need for more complex graphics software.
Your matrix looks both pretty small, and too low a resolution to be used for displaying letters on. A conventional LCD is almost certainly the way to go. I'd calculate the required length and width in pixels for a single character, then work out how many characters wide your screen needs to display, then figure out the needed angular size your screen should be. Then with distance as a variable, you can narrow down screen/matrix candidates. From experience, you'll probably find actual LCD panels a fair bit cheaper than LED matrices, and a raspi can drive them through HDMI without too much issue.

I have a haswell gen i7, 4 cores, how does one haswell core compare to a core of pi?

Thanks for that highly detailed explanation, user, you just gave me a lot of motivation to get started on this project, I will research the OLED / reflector solution first and if that fails I'll just go for the simpler LCD panel route, to be honest I initially wasn't expecting anyone to reply seriously to my post, bless you.

I don't think the reflector system is very diy-friendly, best you could hope for is a modified cellphone-AR headset with some hardware in there. Which isn't an awful idea, if you want it to work on the go.

I bought one giddy as fuck when I brought it home. Then reality set in...what am I going to use this for? I already have 4 computers.

I am not using mine for anything at the moment but I was using it as a file server a few months ago.

a 4B pi is supposed to clock up to 1.5GHz but unless you've got a good heat sink and fan its not going to sustain those speeds for very long
a haswell core (something like 4770k) is 3.5-3.9 GHz so several times faster

One for LibreELEC
Granted Pi3 B+ sucks for 10-bit and cannot output 4K but it's mainly for my archive of shit that weren't encoded in such a way anyways.
If I actually want to watch said content then I'll use my PC, which rarely happens.
I was using it for MotionEye but I ended up using my NAS for that instead.

I'm going to use a Raspberry Pi as a web server, would it be worth it to buy a Raspi 4 if I already have a 3 B+ or would there be no difference?

what are you serving? static pages or webapps? how many users?

an imageboard
probably a 20-40 user maximum

Alex?

Alan Turing died for this.

Samba server that I use to watch porn on my tablet.

Didn't moot put Jow Forums servers into USBs once?

>throttles
before the fan it was easy to reach 176F/80C under light load. it was already idling around 160F.
>tearing
I'm gonna chalk that up to the newness of the Pi 4.

>I don't have a heatsink, and I have the standard closed case.
>Either LibreElec is garbage or you live in a sauna
Isn't the Pi 4 a bit more power hungry, with additional heat as a result? As for the sauna part, yes south Florida tends to be that way. The room the Pi is in doesn't have a ton of airflow as well, but it's cooler than the temps inside the case (until drilled holes + tiny fan).

Kinda tempted to order this screen when it gets back in stock. 720x720, 4".

Mine monitors the temperature and humidity of my terrarium and displays it on and LCD every few seconds.

Electrical engineer here, I unironically use them in products. I also use arduinos, so fight me.

I don't and it's nothing but a meme if you don't have a clear idea what you're going to use it for before you even click the Buy button

>buying expensive pis when you can buy cheap pies, often with more features and/or better performance
>b-but my support base!
It's Linux and most of the shit is scripts. If it doesn't work, make it work. Often even Raspberry Pi forums will give you enough information to fix your issues.

>Not just doing it yourself with some EEPROMs and a bit of tenacity

You should buy cheaper solutions to put in your products, that way you profit more.

Yeah I know, but the profit margins are so big and the design lead times are so small that I really don't care. Most of my shit literally has windows PCs in it, so the Pi is cheap in comparison.

I have 2 raspberry pi now

What shall I do with those?

a sandwich

Use them to run bots on Runescape.

whoosh gens before pi 4 now have hevc hardware decoding

and I didn't know $35 was expensive

Are Pi's even suitable for using as VPS servers because they can't do AES on the hardware?

>and I didn't know $35 was expensive
You can get $15~$20 Pis with at least as many features.
It's comparatively expensive.

How good are these at running kodi and playing 1080p 24bit content?
I currently use an Intel.atom that suits itself pretty often.

Is pi 3 enough?

Mine's a budget HSM. Wrap some anti-tamper tape around it, done.

It's perfect for running bots

Dashcams are illegal "windshield obstructions" in my state, so I just put the camera on a baseball cap instead.

I used to set them up for tor, and sell them to hookers.

I don't know where you burgers are getting your prices from. Where I live the Zeros are $15 and the 4s are $60. That's in USD.
>also that shitty meme usb hub

>I used to set them up for tor, and sell them to hookers.
Man, what the fuck do hookers need the tor for?

Planning on getting a raspberry pi 4 for pihole, vpn and a few other things. It's the first version that doesn't seem to be dogshit slow.

>Why would a hooker need a website, their own servers, secure communications, and crypto?
I don't know man.

get an orange pi with sata you mong

Yes. Gen 1. Non-VPN torrent and ssh from the outside into my network.

the pi 4 4GB is 55 burgers, the 1GB starts at 35.

using USB drives anyway

Isn't that your problem in the first place? The raspi 3B+ only has USB 2.0, which is way too slow for a NAS, while the raspi 4 has USB 3.0. So a raspi 4 will likely solve your problem, but the orange pi sata method would be a good amount cheaper.

But why would a hooker need it?
I imagine hookers are dumb bimbos who wouldn't comprehend what tor is, or know how to use anything more complex than an iphone.
Hookers accept crypto?

Use it as pihole for smooth, ad-free internet browsing

Having said that, it seems like websites is smarten up on people using hardware-based ad blocking. I already found several websites that refused connection to people using pi holes

Nice try FBI.

3+, cheapest , best option for a streaming box at the time (sports, netflix, some other stuff). chink android boxes have endless problems and limits. Pi+libreelec is pretty nice now.

I use mine to play around with motors and sensors, e.g. distance sensors and stepper motors to scan a room and plot points on a display

>But why would a hooker need it?
They don't need tor, because tor is a honeypot, but whores are very entrepreneurial, and are open to take risks in order to advance their profits.
>I imagine hookers are dumb bimbos who wouldn't comprehend what tor is, or know how to use anything more complex than an iphone
I guess computers aren't as hard, or as magical as you think they are.
>Hookers accept crypto?
My understanding is that they actually preferred it over debit, PayPal, and money orders.
