This would actually be pretty cool because he could throw a new pi at whatever project he comes up with on a whim. Problem would be every time he wants to put one in service he'd have to buy a psu and sd card at a minimum..

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:are heat sinks necessary for rpi3? I would say no but they don't hurt right? One of my cases is a $10 special from aliexpress and it came with heatsinks and a little fan. If I were ordering now I'd get the flirc case from amazon that has an integrated heatsink. If you don't have any heatsinks and aren't planning on overclocking I'd say that's fine, the official case doesn't come with heatsinks.

I drive a BBW posted:I’d like to set up an rPi for Pi-Hole. Is there a recommended power supply, case, and SD card to get so I can just set this up and forget about it? Should I just get the CanaKit starter kit from Amazon? This will be plugged into a UPS so power surges shouldn’t be an issue. The kit is good because you don't have to worry about buying pi + case + psu + sd card all separately, but the flirc case is apparently best in class and affordable from amazon so it might be worth just buying the things separately. e: oh hmm the flirc case doesn't seem to be sold by amazon anymore :/ mewse fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Mar 21, 2018 |

wolrah posted:Eben Upton, the founder of the Pi Foundation, used to be a chip designer at Broadcom. AFAIK the first-gen Pi was basically a stripped down version of the reference platform for one of their set-top box SoCs. It's nice if broadcom became invested to the point of designing custom silicon, because usually these low cost boards are on some dead end, poorly documented platform. Credit to the RPi foundation for having the vision tho.

I don't want to wade into this slapfight but if you install a daemon in debian, the package will generally provide the init scripts to run the daemon on boot, it doesn't have anything to do with how barebones the hardware is - and the pi isn't really barebones, it's a full linux system not some microcontroller

ante posted:My understanding is that it's just a DNS server, so it won't have any effect on your transfers. Initial DNS lookup, once per packet, will probably add a microsecond or two to your latency I guess This is my understanding as well. Pi hole is a dns server (built on dnsmasq?) it doesn’t route all your traffic through the pi which would have performance concerns

Yeah it should be perfect for octoprint - one USB port for the printer and still has the camera header

I found out the most recent xbox one controllers do real bluetooth and can be paired with a pi, so I built a new retropie rig with one of them. It's a little tricky to configure but very nice to play, the dpad is so much better than an xbox 360 controller.

I was messing around with my old xbox one controller and pc wireless dongle, then wanted to update firmware on this new controller so I plugged it into my PC with a micro USB cable. I had a bit of a moment after doing that where I realized the wireless dongle on my pc was talking to both controllers.

Anyone else tried steam link beta on pi? I installed it via retropie. It runs great for me but there's something in the software stack treating my left analog input as insane mouse input which makes games unplayable  e: I figured it out, I needed the xpadneo driver. It added rumble support too, it's amazing. https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo mewse fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Dec 13, 2018 |

StashAugustine posted:Hey I'm stuck in a college course involving loving around with a Pi's networking with no textbook and a shotty professor, along with only a passing knowledge of networking. Is there a good resource that explains how DHCP servers work? All the stuff I can find online is specialized to specific applications and/or assumes you know what you're doing already DHCP is kinda simple, your dhcp client sends an ethernet broadcast asking for dhcp and then the server replies with an ip, subnet mask, gateway, dns servers, etc etc. Everything else, configuration wise, is software specific. They want you to set up dhcpd or something?

Config method has changed in the 15 yrs since I messed with linux heavily but when I set up my pi-hole a couple months ago I had to configure a static ip in /etc/dhcpcd.conf which is the config file for the dhcp client -- which is absurd since setting a static ip is basically the opposite of grabbing one from dhcp. In debian it used to be that you configured your network interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces which made a lot more sense. Looks like in raspbian now that file just has a comment saying to edit dhcpcd.conf e: now get off my lawn
