Raspberry Pi 3b 1gb and 4b 4gb. Is there anything that these can actually be used for or are they garbage?
>>
>>100198714
You could make a little file storage server for your home with them.
Realistically these are never worth anything more than what you're willing to invest in them. If you don't have a use before you buy, you probably won't have one afterwards.
I'll buy them from you for 5 bucks each.

>>100198714
Give them to me if you think they are garbage. What kind of question is this? Don't tell me you don't know how to code in assembly/logic gate?
>>
>>100198714
I use one to host an offsite backup at my parents' house.
It's slow, the backup "drive" is a thumbdrive, but it works, so good enough
>>
>>100198751
Cool spam email bro.
>>
>>100198714
they still do everything they did when you bought them
if they are useless to you nowadays they were always useless for you
>>
bruh give them to me
>>
>>100198714
Op here, is pi hole still a thing? Does it work?
>>
>>100198975
Like hell I'm posting my real email here
>>
>>100199014
everyone replaced pi-hole with adguard home cause it's better in every way
pi-hole doesn't seem to be able to keep up
>>
>>100199049
you shouldn't just post it raw like that, you should instead post a pastebin or something similar
>>
>>100199117
It's bait
>>
>>100198714
Install dietpi, lxde or lxqt it's fast on the rpi4
>>
>>100199049
I'll get you next time, Randall.

>>100199117
Good idea, thanks, but while that would protect me from ending up in the archive, I wouldn't want to show my cards to anons here. All it takes is one motivated anon to fuck my real email forever.

>>100199352
I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
>>
>>100199339
>lxqt it's fast on the rpi4
lmao
no it's not
nothing QT is fast on these

if I had one right now, I'd plug my hdd into it and run jellyfin off of it
a next step would be turning it into a NAS

Sauce?
>>
>>100199050
nobody with half a brain uses either, we just have a hosts file on our router, no retarded shit and did it with 32mb of ram.
>>
>>100199420
Anon... nothing to hide nothing to fear. What are you? A pedophile? Post your email already.
>>
>>100198714
i'd argue even the new raspberry pies are useless.

you can get mini PCs with better specs for the same price, as well as breakout GPIO boards.
>>
>>100199740
but raspberry pis are still good for beginners, right? asking because im gonna get one soon to run a server or something

B1 works fine as an octoprint server i had to block mine from the wan cause those niggers like to break shit with constant fucking updates nagging you
>>
>>100199786
yes they good as a cheap second computer since most wintards are addicted to windows and cant live without it this way you have a toy computer to break and small sdcards that are easily backed up
>>
I use one as a print server for my laser printer with no network connection. I only turn it on when I want to print something.
>>
>>100198714
>(Jamal) "found" these in a shoebox when "cleaning". Are they even relevant anymore?
Not for you, give them back.
>>
>>100198714
>PiHole for DNS adblocking
>OpenMediaVault for small NAS
>RetroPi for old games
>Plex for streaming
I have 3 of them myself and having Pihole is nice to have on my wifi. OMV is great too.
>>
>>100199500
Nope.
I have a RPI 4B 8GB running Gentoo with LXQt. Admittedly it's on a SATA3-over-USB3 SSD, but encrypted so it's not as fast as it can be. It's so fast that I can play games and watch movies without issues. The only things that are ever slow on it is Firefox, Thundebird and Chromium.
>>
>>100198973
replace the thumbdrive regularly or you will be better off just doing M disk. those thumb drives suck shit and are not meant to last long, they are designed around file transport over a short time.
>>
>>100198714
I currently have 7 Raspberry in use. Unluckily for you, you missed the window of opportunity to sell them at 200% markup during the covid era. Now they're not worth much any longer because 5 is out.

MotionEyeOS
I still run a few rpi3's as security camera's stable as fuck for over 5y
>>
>>100198714
hook up a HDD and use it as NAS
>>
>>100198714
$150 easy

>>100198714
They were initially intended for tinkerers. People who want to build shit using GPIO. They are now mainstream and mainstream users want the tinkerers to pre-roll solutions for them. That's not what they are for. They are for YOU to make shit with. Go fucking make something.
>>
>>100198751
>5 bucks each
I"ll do $6 each.

I have one in my pc case that runs a small screen to monitor the pcs temps etc when it's running and also runs a pihole and shares a hard drive when the pc is off and a few other services like a torrent client and a music server etc, it's like a tiny little mini home server and it's been reliable as fuck for years and just h

I have an orange pi 3 zero but I don't know what to do with it, I thought I would use it as a Nas but it keeps crashing for no reason. I don't like retro games so it's just a paperweight
