Got pic related for free from a spoiled brat who threw it out after trying to build a "handheld retro gaming console". What are some shenanigans I can do with this?
>Raspberry Pi 1 Model B, made in 2012
>only 256 MB, current RPi OS chugs like a motherfricker
> attach a solar cell and a battery
> put it up on the roof
> mine crypto
free money lol
>ROI of 2400 years
yeah sure buddy
>shenanigans
plug like 10 wifi dongles into the USB (on a hub of course), shove it in a suitcase and use it to steal people's wifi passwords
>wifi dongles
How's that supposed to work? Setting identical WiFi displayed name to capture inputted passwords?
>Setting identical WiFi displayed name to capture inputted passwords?
that works, i think
typical application is capturing the WPA2 handshake and using offline GPU muscle to crack the password. KRACK also works sometimes.
you will need a wifi dongle that supports monitor mode and packet injection. ALFA has some good dongles with the atheros chipsets.
there are automated applications in kali linux that will deauth clients and capture the hanshake that you need to crack to get the password
>Pi 1
Not very powerful. Either use it for learning robotics or something else that isn't very compute intensive but makes use of that GPIO port.
Stupid uses that will only frustrate you include using it as a computer (a laptop someone gives you for free because it's too slow will be faster), an HTPC (an old laptop will work better), retro game emulation (use your PC, or one of those Bluetooth controllers with a bracket to hold a smartphone if you want a handheld), and anything else where a computer or phone could be used instead.
>>ROI of 2400 years
He got the raspi for free. If he already has the solar powered battery bank, the "investment" is $0.00, so even if this thing only generates a cent, it's still pure profit.
Unless crypto tanks
where have you been, anon
its happening rn
>If he already has the solar powered battery bank
If.
this is also assuming OP's time is worthless, an assumption which is pretty safe.
assuming a cheap solar battery powerful enough to sustain a raspberry is $40 from aliexpress, ROI drops down to 500 years
Looking pretty good for OP
build a handheld retrogaming console
>256MB of RAM
>only
you are the spoiled brat
What are some good distros for ARM?
buildroot
Void Linux. It's been running stable for half a year on my Pi 4.
>dedicated troony distro
>on the verge of death
>ARM builds have been long forgotten ages ago and most packages have arch=x86_64 set so they are not provided for non x86 platforms
Gentoo is great on ARM. On weak hardware you might need to need to cross-compile, though.
I counted recently, 128 without swap is not enough for LAMP.
Its enough for a DE
This board be like why would anyone need anymore than this?
Here's a nickel go get yourself something nice
Pi Zero has more RAM + muscle than that nugget. Not really that much you can do with it aside from basic CLI tasks, treating it as a souped up Arduino, or screwing around with it to figure out what works. Maybe creating an NCurses interface for 16 bit emulators might be a project? But who knows how much legwork that could take.
Not really much point in something that's equivalent to a budget desktop in the early 2000's trying to run modern code 18 years older than it.
"Modern" code is bloat. You can still run a FTP server in less than 256 MB.
Then why didn't you tell the OP that you blazing homosexual? Be helpful for once.
Octoprint. I run it on the same model.
Plex client or server
>install kali linux
>wait a bajillion years for shit to open
>port scan your local coffee shops
frick around and find out
>frick around and find out
realistically who's going to murder you over a port scan?
the big bad spooky glowies anon, aren't you afraid of them putting your ip address in a special list and doing jackshit nothing, until its too late?
Port scanning is legal
says who?
Nothing, it's a pi 1. Throw it into the trash where it belongs.
>throwing away a computer that can still be used
Your post belongs in the trash.
Not knowing when to throw something In the trash is hoarder behavior.
You can install dosbox on it or some old emulator or something. Assuming it has a gui. If it doesn't you can install icewm or something. That or just throw it in the trash.
If OP cant use it, they could donate it to someone else who could use it. Computers shouldn't be thrown away when they become 'obsolete'.
I don't even think you can run pihole on that
Might as well do the brats plan and install a gameboy emulator on it
Runs pihole perfectly.
Set up an open FTP for Ganker to use.
>set up a file server for feds to vomit CP at
there's easier ways of going to prison
We had one earlier, CommunityComputers I think it was. It had tons of great files but no files of the type you suggest.
What's an easy way to filter FTP requests that are fedbait?
All good practice starts by rangebanning CN and RU. Next you rangeban the entire South America and Africa. At this point things should be good.
If you are still worried, you can allow upload to write only directory, and then check files before you manually move to readable directories.
Dont forget eastern europe
Are all those countries equally depraved?
east of Oder river there is only miserable land of savages
>9944
their cybersecurity is below that of the US & EU, they are usually the source of compromised PCs and botnet entities
> fedbait
> CN and RU
> South America and Africa
sure
I don't need the RPi but is the brat still available?
Stay away from my city you sick frick
no, I refuse
>actually a pedo
Get help, anon.
Install RISC OS if you are into retro computers or run a very light weight linux distro as a server
>RISC OS
that sounds risky..
You can throw it into the garbage cause that's what it is.
You can do a lot with it since it's powerful enough but it depends on your needs.
nginx
php
well i guess soneone could use it for iot.
Like hook it up to the washing to the garage door and turn it on with your cellphone.
But as a mini computer is not very good.
connect it to speakers or an amp. set up network enabled mpd on it (optionally also set up network enabled pulseaudio or other audio service) then use it as a jukebox.
PROTIP: for this even the original raspbian or a legacy version is good enough. Get a simple CLI only image if you can.
the rpi1 was not much more than proof of concept. cant handle shit in graphical desktop. just some meme stuff headless. the 4b or 400 is a little more usable.
i've made a similar post last years... and i may i as well throw it into the trash because its been collecting dust in my shelf ever since... this first generation pis are awful
Old school wardriving.
Get a wifi dongle, a gps module and hook them both up
Then drive around town and log all networks you find, including their status (name, security if any, signal strength) and your gps position.
Then plot this on a map.
Not really useful, but a fun project for sure
Other project is too get a cheap rtl-sdr, hook up to pi and track airplanes, which send their position and altitude on 1.2 GHz.
Enough tutorials online on how to do this
Give it back Jamal.
>Jamal
>interested in small, wacky SBCs
yeah right
you can do nothing with a one lmao. they are almost useless.
I have 2 V1 RPI one they run syncing piholes and one runs Tor too.
Ganker irc server over tor
Built a plex media server with mine
It has a composite port so you could use it to display something to a crt as decoration. Maybe a gif or a slideshow. Eposvox has that on his set
install RISC OS and play some old games made for it
pwnagotchi
Install Pi-Hole. It's a network wide adblocker that runs a local DNS server, that when configured with any network, kills ads everywhere, including, not just in a browser, but in games, phone, apps, tablet, anything that's connected. And not just ads, but blocks trackers, spying services, etc. It is extremely light weight and designed to run on a raspberry pi.
