So i have a pi5 8gb sorta collecting dust, ive mess with it a little but i have a laptop and im not sure what use to give the pi 5? i wanted to explore ai stuff but ai requires a powerhouse of a device? Im also thought about nas but i feel i dont need nas right now?
What would you advise i do with my pi?
Check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world for ideas. You could put Docker on it and use it for more than one thing.
Mail it to me
Close. Mail it to me lol
Mail it to me too please
Is it too late to add myself to the queue?
Damn Brits always trying to get into a queue.
Send it to me, I have plans.
Useful? I think you’re doing this hobby wrong.
/s.
Do you have a 3D printer?
Set up a Tor Relay. Help the Tor network.
RetroPie? A Pi can handle most of the older, amazing games.
Pi4 is better for anything with video as it has a a hardware decoder. They dropped the hardware decoder in the Pi5 and I think you need to buy an extra module to have one for them.
Oh wow, thank you. I didn’t know that!
Mine runs Orb and Tailscale as an exit node.
What do these things mean?
https://orb.net/ monitors your internet performance.
https://tailscale.com/ access your home internet or devices when you’re away from home. Usually only helpful if you have a NAS, but I’ve used it to stream tv shows without having to get bothered or blocked because the service can only be used in the US. I watched some NFL over youtubetv while in Germany for example.
Thank you so much for getting back to me with such a trove. I really appreciate it. I never know where to start looking for certain topics and terms.
When you know nothing, you dont know what you dont know.
