  I always see the raspberry and get excited then I realise it’s not raspberry pies. 😔

    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

  1. Octoprint print server for my 3d printer
  2. Retropi in a mini-SEGA case for taking around to mates places for retro gaming (non-N64)
  3. Brewpi for brewery

    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

  @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?

    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

  What site? I’ve never seen them on sale before.

  I have 2, I’ve got a 4b which I got to build a little NAS with, but my last place wasn’t a fan of that idea so it never happened. Currently not in use.

  I also have a zero W I got recently to run a lightweight python script that just archives a webpage once per day into the Wayback machine. In the future, I’ll probably use the 4b either for a more complex archiving script (I discovered a nice CLI utility with a lot more features than the one I made), probably run on some sort of Cron job and possibly modify it to be easily configured remotely from any device, rather than just SSHing.

  I’m going to use the 4b to run a local ArchiveBox instance and a Tube archivist instance to archive some YouTube channels eventually.

  Once you find your niche, you can do pretty much anything with it. My niche is archiving and datahoardery, so anything like that will probably run on one of my pis at some time in the future

    I preordered the 5 4gb here. I can’t find the listing again but they were on preorder au.element14.com/w/c/raspberry-pi/…/results?ost=r…|1

  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
