Reciever Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Good Evening everyone! After years of the Pi existing, I had no interest until a use case finally presented itself! It looks like I will be starting with the Pi Zero W as I want to try my hand at using it with Key MIME Pi which is now deprecated into the TinyPilot product by the same creator. I really like the idea so I want to test to see how well it works with QMK devices, since I have the Pi Zero W first, then I'll turn it into a Pi-Hole afterwards as the Pi 4B are quite pricey from what I remember some time ago. Anyone else using Pi's for other projects? 1 AM4-DD | 5800X3D @ 4.45Ghz | Red Devil 7900 XTX | 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz | 2TB NVME | Intel X710 DAC @ 10Gbps | EVGA 1300w | Win11 IoT UNRAID | Xeon Gold 6248 40c/80t | 128GB DDR4 2933Mhz | P1000 | 9300i-16P | Intel X520 | 48TB HDD's | BeQuiet DP 13 1000w HomeLab | E5-2697A 32c/64t | 128GB DDR4 2133Mhz | Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade!

serpro69 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Don't have a Pi yet, but it's been on my list for awhile now :D Apart from the Pi-Hole, what I wanted to use it for is to be the "master" for syncthing, through which other devices can sync files. 2 GitHub Currently and formerly owned laptops (specs below): Razorback -> MacBook Pro 16" (M4 Pro) (work) Serenity -> Dell Precision 5560 N-1 -> Dell Precision 5560 (my lady's) Razor Crest -> Lenovo ThinkPad P16 (work) Millenium Falcon -> Dell Precision 5530 (work) Axiom -> Lenovo ThinkPad P52 (work) Moldy Crow -> Dell XPS 15 9550 Spoiler Razorback: MacBook Pro 16" M4 Pro (14-core CPU, 20-core GPU) 48 GB RAM 1 TB SSD MacOS 15.1 Senenity / N-1: Dell Precision 5560 i7-11800H CPU 1x32 GB DDR4 2,666 MHz 512 GB SSD NVIDIA T1200 FHD+ 1920x1200 PopOS 22.04

Oh that looks interesting, didnt know that was a thing. Just got the micro to Ethernet adapter in today for the Pi Zero W. I doubt it but I am curious if my Router will be able to supply enough power to the Pi0W AM4-DD | 5800X3D @ 4.45Ghz | Red Devil 7900 XTX | 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz | 2TB NVME | Intel X710 DAC @ 10Gbps | EVGA 1300w | Win11 IoT UNRAID | Xeon Gold 6248 40c/80t | 128GB DDR4 2933Mhz | P1000 | 9300i-16P | Intel X520 | 48TB HDD's | BeQuiet DP 13 1000w HomeLab | E5-2697A 32c/64t | 128GB DDR4 2133Mhz | Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade!

solidus1983 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 I have the following RasberryPI's - 1B with clear case - 2B in FLIRC case - 4 4GB version in Argon ONE M.2 case The 1B was given to me to mess with then i caught the bug and got the 2B which at first was used to monitor my DSL connection until i decided to run Docker & Portainer to which then was my personal Teamspeak 3 server via emulation and DNS Sinkhole. I recently just got the Raspi 4 ready for my next project to go along with my RISCV dev board. Just need to find the time now to be able to do things. I might even repurpose the 1B as a wireless remote UART system yet. 1 {Main System:} The Beast Spoiler {Cooling:} Corsair H170i Elite {Mainboard:} Asrock X670E Pro {CPU/GPU:} AMD Ryzen R9 7900x3D / AMD RX 7900 XTX (Asrock Phantom) {RAM/Storage:} 2x 16GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance 6400MT/s , 13TB WDD SN850X 2x4TB, 2x 2TB, 1x 1TB {PSU/Case:} Corsair RM 1000x V2, Corsair 7000D Airflow (Black) {OS:} Windows 11 Pro Realtek Nahimic 3 Modded Driver for MSI Systems:Latest
Reciever Posted September 24, 2023 Author Posted September 24, 2023 Looks like one needs to buy a Pi 4 from anywhere that isnt ebay/amazon it looks like. 100 USD seems really steep for a Pi 4 AM4-DD | 5800X3D @ 4.45Ghz | Red Devil 7900 XTX | 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz | 2TB NVME | Intel X710 DAC @ 10Gbps | EVGA 1300w | Win11 IoT UNRAID | Xeon Gold 6248 40c/80t | 128GB DDR4 2933Mhz | P1000 | 9300i-16P | Intel X520 | 48TB HDD's | BeQuiet DP 13 1000w HomeLab | E5-2697A 32c/64t | 128GB DDR4 2133Mhz | Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade!

In the mean time I am thinking of trying to run one of these in a VM on my ESXi box, no idea if it work though AM4-DD | 5800X3D @ 4.45Ghz | Red Devil 7900 XTX | 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz | 2TB NVME | Intel X710 DAC @ 10Gbps | EVGA 1300w | Win11 IoT UNRAID | Xeon Gold 6248 40c/80t | 128GB DDR4 2933Mhz | P1000 | 9300i-16P | Intel X520 | 48TB HDD's | BeQuiet DP 13 1000w HomeLab | E5-2697A 32c/64t | 128GB DDR4 2133Mhz | Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade!
