Reciever Posted September 23, 2023 Share 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 Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade! With a 10850K cameo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpro69 Posted September 23, 2023 Share 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): 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 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 Millenium Falcon: Dell Precision 5530 i9-8950HK CPU 2x16 GB DDR4 2,666 MHz 1 TB SSD NVIDIA Quadro P2000 UHD 3840x2160 Ubuntu 22.04 / Windows 10 LTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade! With a 10850K cameo!

solidus1983 Posted September 23, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reciever Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share 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 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 Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade! With a 10850K cameo!
