Thread 106240597

I just bought a raspberry pi 5
what do I do with it?

>>106240597 (OP)
bin it

>>106240680
kek this. just get a chink N100

>>106240597 (OP)
Collect valuable dust.

run an imageboard on it

>>106240597 (OP)
low power server
check out /hsg/ for application ideas.
i use mine as a test webserver that i ssh into.

>>106240597 (OP)
>what do I do with it?
put it in a drawer like 99% of rpi owners

>>106240597 (OP)
If you are not using the GPIOs an old Laptop or mini-pc would have been better value.

>>106240741
yeah just get a odroid h4 for a bit much money but infinitely more use cases

pi-hole

Shove it up your ass.

I put a porn scraper in mine with a regular NTFS-formatted external USB drive. It also has a webserver, some applications, it's not too bad for a linux box.

>>106240597 (OP)
Why do you buy shit if you have no idea what to do with it without asking random retards on the internet?

>>106240597 (OP)
Pop it in that draw with the old phones you've not thrown out yet and your random unfinished projects that you swear you'll get around to

>>106240597 (OP)
list it on ebay and stop buying shit you don't need.

>>106240597 (OP)

they make gpio -> telephone connector yet?

>>106240597 (OP)
Sell it and buy a Lenovo m720q.

>>106240597 (OP)
Time to get into homelabbing anon
Turn it into an NAS!!!! also probably can make it run desume or something
Do you know basic linux/bash you do right...

>>106240597 (OP)
not trolling those things are unironically useless now that they cost as much as a regular mini pc while being significantly slower, the cheap price was the only they became popular

>>106240597 (OP)
look for shields that do what you'd need. or chuck it in a drawer until you need it for something.

>>106241771
they're good for network services that draw fuck all power. just because you don't know what to use it for doesn't mean it's useless.

>>106240597 (OP)
why do you buy something, you don't need?

>>106240597 (OP)
Network services. It's crap to actually use like a normal computer.

>>106240741
>wasting a Cortex A76 on fucking GPIO
Come on.

>>106241771
If you don't need much RAM and want them on 24/7 or have power constraints they still have a place. Otherwise yeah, just get an x86 mini for a much better experience.

If I had one (I have a 3 I'm going to migrate some services to it once I dust it up and find a powers supply.
1.Host your own Dashboard
2.Use uptime kuma to monitor your stuff of interest
3.Pi hole
4. Wireguard
I think you could run all of those on that machine and probably more.

I do that sometimes. for example when I needed it once to solve some problem and I didn't have it, I'll get it just in case I'll need it again. or if it seems like the kind of thing I might need at some point, knowing me. don't get me wrong, not saying you should buy slop like a retarded without needing it. but for example I did buy a $10 logic analyzer because I needed it once and didn't have it, and it's very handy when you really need it. and ended up using it after a couple of times.
could serve as a backup in case your main PC shits the bed, can connect monitor/keyboard/mouse and browse and shit. has spi/i2c/serial, could be useful for some troubleshooting, who knows. good to have as a nerd

>>106242369
That looks cool how did you do it? I want something like that

>>106242610
Glance dashboard

>>106240597 (OP)
Turn it into a travel router?

How are the BIOSes typically on mini PCs like pic related? I know not to expect BIOS updates, but how usable are they? Can you do things like set RAM speeds/timings, power limits, fan curves maybe?

>>106240597 (OP)
I plugged a thumbdrive into one and stuck it in my mom and dad's basement to use as an offsite backup.
YOU, however, could just put it in your ass.

>>106242369
Fix your SSL certs anon, it's not difficult.

>>106243008
>YOU, however, could just put it in your ass.
this reminds me, did that anon ever compile the kernel on that raspberry pi zero in his ass?

>>106243130
I can't imagine how long it would take a rpi 0 to compile the kernel. Weeks?
