Raspberry Pi 3b 1gb and 4b 4gb. Is there anything that these can actually be used for or are they garbage?

Just found these in a shoebox when cleaning. Are they even relevant anymore?
You could make a little file storage server for your home with them.
Realistically these are never worth anything more than what you're willing to invest in them. If you don't have a use before you buy, you probably won't have one afterwards.
I'll buy them from you for 5 bucks each.

Cool spam email bro.
Like hell I'm posting my real email here
you shouldn't just post it raw like that, you should instead post a pastebin or something similar
It's bait
Good idea, thanks, but while that would protect me from ending up in the archive, I wouldn't want to show my cards to anons here. All it takes is one motivated anon to frick my real email forever.
I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
Anon... nothing to hide nothing to fear. What are you? A pedophile? Post your email already.
>What are you? A pedophile?
Yes

I'll get you next time, Randall.

Are you Black?
>5 bucks each
I"ll do $6 each.
Give them to me if you think they are garbage. What kind of question is this? Don't tell me you don't know how to code in assembly/logic gate?
I use one to host an offsite backup at my parents' house.
It's slow, the backup "drive" is a thumbdrive, but it works, so good enough
replace the thumbdrive regularly or you will be better off just doing M disk. those thumb drives suck shit and are not meant to last long, they are designed around file transport over a short time.
they still do everything they did when you bought them
if they are useless to you nowadays they were always useless for you
bruh give them to me
Op here, is pi hole still a thing? Does it work?
everyone replaced pi-hole with adguard home cause it's better in every way
pi-hole doesn't seem to be able to keep up
>everyone replaced pi-hole with adguard home cause it's better in every way
Sauce?
nobody with half a brain uses either, we just have a hosts file on our router, no moronic shit and did it with 32mb of ram.
Install dietpi, lxde or lxqt it's fast on the rpi4
>lxqt it's fast on the rpi4
lmao
no it's not
nothing QT is fast on these
Nope.
I have a RPI 4B 8GB running Gentoo with LXQt. Admittedly it's on a SATA3-over-USB3 SSD, but encrypted so it's not as fast as it can be. It's so fast that I can play games and watch movies without issues. The only things that are ever slow on it is Firefox, Thundebird and Chromium.
if I had one right now, I'd plug my hdd into it and run jellyfin off of it
a next step would be turning it into a NAS
i'd argue even the new raspberry pies are useless.
you can get mini pcs with better specs for the same price, as well as breakout GPIO boards.
but raspberry pis are still good for beginners, right? asking because im gonna get one soon to run a server or something
yes they good as a cheap second computer since most wintards are addicted to windows and cant live without it this way you have a toy computer to break and small sdcards that are easily backed up
im gonna install gentoo on it
shove em up your ass
B1 works fine as an octoprint server i had to block mine from the wan cause those Black folk like to break shit with constant fricking updates nagging you
I use one as a print server for my laser printer with no network connection. I only turn it on when I want to print something.
>(Jamal) "found" these in a shoebox when "cleaning". Are they even relevant anymore?
Not for you, give them back.
>PiHole for DNS adblocking
>OpenMediaVault for small NAS
>RetroPi for old games
>Plex for streaming
I have 3 of them myself and having Pihole is nice to have on my wifi. OMV is great too.
I currently have 7 Raspberry in use. Unluckily for you, you missed the window of opportunity to sell them at 200% markup during the covid era. Now they're not worth much any longer because 5 is out.

I still run a few rpi3's as security camera's stable as frick for over 5y
hook up a HDD and use it as NAS
$150 easy
They were initially intended for tinkerers. People who want to build shit using GPIO. They are now mainstream and mainstream users want the tinkerers to pre-roll solutions for them. That's not what they are for. They are for YOU to make shit with. Go fricking make something.
I have one in my pc case that runs a small screen to monitor the pcs temps etc when it's running and also runs a pihole and shares a hard drive when the pc is off and a few other services like a torrent client and a music server etc, it's like a tiny little mini home server and it's been reliable as frick for years and just h
I have an orange pi 3 zero but I don't know what to do with it, I thought I would use it as a Nas but it keeps crashing for no reason. I don't like retro games so it's just a paperweight
