Ozbargain had a place selling raspberry pis for a decent price and I decided to order one.
Anyone here have one? And what do you use it for? I'm thinking it would be a chance to learn docker, I can use it to run pihole and still have it set up as an emulation station
I always see the raspberry and get excited then I realise it's not raspberry pies. ๐
I was a bit hopeful there for a second, too
PiHole / bit of content filtering for the kids.
I'm very light touch here: I'd rather know they were going to PornHub and then know it's time to have "that" conversation than try to stop them going to PornHub.
Three, actually
If I can use it to manage brewing it can give me another hobby
kinda other way around. You want the fundamentals before you get to the point of being anal enough to use a brewpi
Mainly emulation and sometimes as an external standalone music synthesizer.
I'll need to look into the synth side. We went to a community festival recently and they had plants with soil sensors hooked up to an RPI that played notes when you touched them.
I'm pretty sure the organelle is just an RPI in a fancy case as well
I preordered the 5 4gb here. I can't find the listing again but they were on preorder https://au.element14.com/w/c/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-boards/prl/results?ost=raspberry%2Bpi&sort=P_PRODUCT_ID|1
@tombruzzo @Seagoon_ I was thinking about getting one of the Raspberry Pis that are built into a keyboard: https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-400/
The very first computer that I owned was a Commodore 64, and just for nostalgia's sake I like the idea of having a computer that's a modern take on that all-in-one keyboard design.
I didn't end up getting one, but if that design is on special, I might be interested?
See now you're showing your age!
@Orange1 That's just rude lol
Hey, I'm old too so it's acceptable, I think?
@Orange1 I mean, "you seem too young to have owned a C64" might have been a better way to phrase it, haha
I've seen these and I think it's a fun idea. I'd almost prefer this layout instead of laptops if we had screens everywhere
I've had a pi 3b for a few years. Originally bought for uni projects and since then has been sitting idle. They are great if you're interested in projects like that - I told myself years ago that I would set up pi-hole etc, but just never got around to it. Gonna try and sell it with all the breadboards and sensors etc. Let me know if you have questions
