Your Raspberry Pi Projects

I use my Raspberry Pi with Emonpi to monitor my Solar offgrid system. It monitors in real time, solar harvest, peak generation, battery charge and discharge level and creates a daily chart. It also sends the output to a cloud vps every 10 sec allowing the information to be seen from this dashboard http://energy.bobby.com.ng/dashboard/view?id=1

I also use it as an wireless internet router, I have a usb LTE modem connected to the Pi, the internet from the modem is shared wirelessly to devices around the house. The Pi also has openhab installed and I intend to use that to be the heat beat of the home automation system using sonof wireless relays.

Other Single board computer projects are:

Helios4 Nas server with 4 3TB drives running in RAID 6, The host all media content, VMs and docker images. I have NFS, SMB running on them

Odroid N2: Media Box, running Kodi and other services like Nagios to monitor the health of device hardware and services running in the house including the health of the disks running on the Media server. , a small webserver with educational content for my kids and other things that might come to mind.

Absolutely love that dashboard. Well done.
 
Recently installed Pi-Hole, to block ads on DNS-level. Quite useful, no longer need browser adblockers and ads are even blocked on some mobile games

Check the Reddit thread for the PiHole. There are some awesome block lists out there that cover even more stuff.

The more reliable lists have exclusions for some false positives too that if not whitelisted could hinder legit services. Since going YouTube premium I haven’t put much time into my PiHole but it’s always a trusted device specially for my mobile browsing and the GFs iPad games like you mentioned.
 
Raspberry Pi 4 Announced!
1 ,2, 4GB Ram ($35, $45, $55)
USB 3
4K HEVC
Dual Monitor
etc

Gonna check arrow.com because we will get fleeced here. Only consideration (like last time) was damn ICASA delays.
 
Pity about the move to Micro-HDMI ports as I don't trust them as far as reliability and ruggedness is concerned.

But given the form factor, they probably had to lose the full-size HDMI port to make two ports fit. DisplayPort would be a nice-to-have, but there are probably chipset incompatibilities or royalties when it comes to that and they also chose to keep the original price of $35 which is pretty astounding.
