    Im curious, what does everyone who has these little things do with theirs?

    • +15

      Running a Pi-hole.

      • Is this worth it over pi zero? Any good priced kits going around ?

        • Unsure but the current one 4GB is showing Memory load of @10% so I guess it will work.

        • +4

          Pi zero is great little thing, as it can be powered by USB off the modem.

          • @Turd: Oh really? I see people use a power supply when they set up pi hole. I saw a kit on Amazon for close to $60 from America. Will I need to solder ?

            • @[Deactivated]: Just wondering what low cost ethernet adapter do I get to use with a pi-zero w running pi-hole?
              I have tried running with wifi but I'd prefer it to be wired, so currently running the OG pi to do that, but unsure if it is fast enough.
              Thanks

              • +10

                @[Deactivated]: I bought this - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00RM3KXAU/

                And here it is all setup on the rooted Telstra modem - https://imgur.com/a/FII2X4d

                • @Turd: That looks like a great setup. Slightly different here - running the Ansuel UI on a 799vac repurposed Telstra modem, I will follow your lead. Cheers.

                  • @[Deactivated]: Yeah my DJA0230 has Ansuel UI as well.

                    Ive also stuck a SPA122 onto it now, because I couldnt get the VOIP working, but if in future I neeed to replace the modem I can just simply take off the SPA and add it onto another device without having to change details etc… Same with the pihole I guess.

                    The whole setup is suppose to be for my 94 year old granny as well :)

                    • @Turd: Nice setup, modular makes sense although you will need another power adapter for the SPA I am guessing. I am running the VOIP with MNF and using DECT handsets on the older modem - I think I lucked onto getting it to work.
                      I also have one of those DJA0230s but I got the older one up and running first. I still don't quite understand if I actually rooted it correctly as I was just copy-pasting like a madman, anyhow internet seems stable for now so I will leave it.
                      I have ordered the ethernet adapter and the pihole on the zero will be my next thing to do.
                      Cheers.

                      • @[Deactivated]: Ethernet adapter turned up this arvo - the pi zero up now running pihole with ethernet - cheers.

                • +1

                  @Turd: I have the plugable one also. I got caught out with a cheap nasty eBay one that only worked at 5kb/sec and would lock up when doing the package updates!!
                  Similar setup also pizero Ethernet and powered through the router USB. Probably been running two+ years and never had an issue. Fantastic use of a Pi!

                  • @cam83: Yeah I read horror stories of slow speeds etc with China (NUMBA1) nasty ones. Thus I found this one and it's pretty good. Made in USA.

                • @Turd: @Turd
                  Stupid question what is that black device you plugged into from your Telsta Modem to Plugable USB 2.0 OTG?
                  And what it is used for?

              • +1

                @[Deactivated]: i'm running a model b pi 2 as pi hole and it doesn't have enough ram to support the web ui on the lastest update. works fine if you are comfortable using the cmd line.

                I've got a second pi4 which my 4yo uses for minecraft (you can get the java version working on it quite comfortably with some very easy setup walkthrough) as well as a chromium version that allows for your streaming content (youtube kids, netflix, disney)

                • @drjamie: Eh?

                  I'm running it just fine on a Pi zero, web UI working just fine.

                  • @marklar: web ui crashes my pi 2 consistently. seems to struggle processing the pie diagrams

                • +1

                  @drjamie: Yeah My PiZero works fine with the GUI even works fine with VNC on it.

              • @Turd: Oh wow that looks great, thanks. Glad I won't have to source out a power supply now. My powerboard had no more space anyways haha.

              • @Turd: Does it need to plug into LAN port, I thought using USB port on the modem is enough?

                • +1

                  @codinghelloworld: Unsure but it's easier to just plug it into the Ethernet port. I read you can use the USB for data but takes a bit of a workaround?

                  Also USB2.0 is rated to ~60Mbps, so if you have better than that for your internet, it's not good if you wanna use pi zero as a mini server/tester.

          • @Turd: I do this too but only using WiFi. Brilliant for ~$20

            • @ohyesss: If you can get your hands on one

          • @Turd: yeh I got a ultra-low power pi-zero non-w, running headless transmission torrent box attached to my router (with a router attached portable drive off the usb3 drive). Super quiet mini homelab :)

            if you're creative enough you can get away without needing usb3 or ethernet and just piggy back the zero off other devices like a symbiote ;)

        • I use a pi zero for pihole. Doesn't tax it at all - also use log2ram to preserve sd card.

      • Upgrade to AdGuardHome. Pihole is EOL.

        • +4

          Who says? Pi-hole 5 was only released in May 2020

        • +1

          maybe you are referring to PiHole addons no longer maintained within HomeAssistant?

          • +1

            @ulun-lpg: Yeah think I must have been. My mistake.

      • Does Pi-hole block cashback tracking such as Cashrewards or Shopback? They say it needs to turn off the browser ad-blocker.

        • I think it does, I turn mine off before clicking through to be sure

        • +2

          extremely easy to whitelist domains, you just watch a live stream of the pihole and enter your website, click on link, and if its blocked you can then whitelist the domain…

      • Pi Zero W runs Pi-Hole and costs $20 (out of stock for next month or 2 though).

      • Curious, is everyone just using Google as the outgoing DNS?

        • I use CloudFlare

        • +1

          Pi-hole is a great tool to help you block actors who are associated with tracking. Google is now seen as one of the worst offenders of tracking and harvesting your data so Google DNS probably isn't a good choice at all for the privacy conscious. Check out PrivacyTools.IO (https://www.privacytools.io/providers/dns/) for some good options.

    • i use mine to download linux iso's and as a NAS system :-D

      • +5

        Lots and lots of linux iso's out there…!

      • How do you attach storage to these?

        • Works with anything that uses USB 3.0.

          • @drinkin-beer: So external hdd with own power supply?

            • +1

              @wanderlei: Yeah basically. I would recommend anything attached to have its own power supply unless it's an SSD. I have just bought a non-raid 4 bay enclosure to turn it into a NAS.

              • @drinkin-beer: Cool thanks. I might look in to doing the same with spare drives I have sitting around.

              • @drinkin-beer: Would you have a link to that enclosure - or even just the product name - by chance, please? Sounds interesting as I'm looking at making a new computer later in the year and already have 6 drives and really only need maybe 3 in the new PC - and the others could live in a second NAS box, like this.

                • @RichardMelbourne: yeah man i personally am using the icy box ib-3640su3, haven't quite set it up yet though waiting for 2 more drives to come. Another option is the hotway HF2-SU3S2 which is much more popular but i have read has some common issues. i went with the icy box because of that reason and the hotway looks like crap. Set it up with OMV and Snapraid and away you go. Haven't tried it yet, but i have done plenty of research and from what i can tell there should be no issues getting this up and running. In fact i have seen others using this set up.

      I use them for Multi-room audio.

      I have a Lenovo Tiny PC running Daphile, and run PiCorePlayer on the Raspberry Pis, they use LMS (Logitech Media Server) to talk to each other, and I can remote control it on Android with the free Squeezer app. I can also stream to my PC using Squeezelite-X.

      You're best to use a DAC as the onboard sound on a Raspberry Pi isn't the best.

      There is a combination DAC and case on Kickstarter for the Pi 4:
      https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/argonxnanosound/nanosou…

      It's essentially the Argon One case with a built in DAC, RCA ports on the back and a IR remote control.

    Just be aware and read the fan noise issues with this kit. Rest all is well and good price considering the AUD.

    • +1

      FYI, the extreme/high fan noise comes from those that connected it's cable to the incorrect header pins. It's not loud when connected properly.

      • +1

        I have one and disagree. Connected to the correct pins it is still very loud

      • +1

        3v or 5v it is loud.

      • I don't have the same kit, but the fan looks identical and agree the fan is super noisy at the best of times.

      • The fan I've got is always on, and I keep meaning to rig up that little circuit to then use PWM so the fan speed can be regulated, based on the Pi's temperature (python script). Until I get round to this, it's damned annoying.

      • Fan is not loud but slightly noticeable. Connecting to proper pin.

      • I've got two of these LABISTS RPi4 kits, and they came with different fans.

        One kit had the fan with two separate pin connectors (as per their listing https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81PXdS0oeXL.AC_SL1500.jpg), and the other kit had the fan with a joined pin connector (as per their demo video https://youtu.be/1ZD6NaXsK-s?t=24)

        From my experience (ensured the pins are connected properly), the kit with the joined pin connector was noisier (irrespective of power supply). Not sure if it was coincidence or the fans had different build quality.

        It isn't too noisy if you're just putting it behind a TV or in a cabinet with your modem/cabling. It would be a little annoying if it was in your bedroom as it is a constant whirr/hum.

        • Kit with joint connector cannot be connected to 3v. There is no way to do it without pulling the wires out of one end.

    • Bought one of these and was going to comment on this. I'm looking for a replacement fan as it is very loud

  • +4

    The best RPi4 Case is the argon one - https://www.argon40.com/argon-one-raspberry-pi-4-case.html

    • Wow, that case is incredible!

      • it is amazing! The fan is never on, and looks and feels amazing. Runs between 34degrees and 40degrees. The fan kicks in at:

        When the CPU temperature is at 55 C, the fan will run at 10% of its maximum speed
        When the CPU temperature is at 60 C, the fan will run at 55% of its maximum speed
        When the CPU temperature is at 65 C, the fan will run at 100% of its maximum speed

        • There is only one very minor issue with Argon One due to the use of the daughter board:

          It would prevent an iPad Pro from being able to power the Pi. A user confirmed it (only when he connects the Pi directly to iPad Pro, it would work). Not exactly sure why the daughter board would cause that. He did disconnect the fan and still couldn't get it to work. He really likes the case, but he had to return it.

          There isn't really a perfect case for RPi4. Argon One is probably the best. However, if you are geeky, you would use the GPIO port available without the need to open the cover.

    • The Argon Neo is great too. Good if you don't need as much access as the One.

      • +1

        Argon Neo is smaller. You do need to buy the fan separate though. The added fan does block out half of the GPIO text and convert the GPIO socket into a female socket.

        Both Argon Neo and Argon One need to have the cover opened in order to use the GPIO though. Agon's Fan control software is handy. Argon One moves the power button to the outside and that is nice. With Neo, you need to get the fan attachment for the button (and you do need to remove the top cover to access it.

        Argon cases are nice, but they are pricey (compared to a cheap case with fan). They are more attractive now because cheap cases with fan from China take ages to arrive here. Thing is, once you add in the Argon case and a power supply (potentially the official one), it starts to add up. Then, there is the 8GB version of RPi 4.

        • I don't even bother with the fan. The fact that the entire case is a heatsink is more than enough for my projects to run.

          • @Tacooo: I have the Neo as well, but my $8 AUD case for my old RPi has a fan so I also bought the fan as well.

            Honestly though, the $8 case is alright. You can add a power button using GPIO pin 5 & 6. With an extension pin cable, the fan can be turn on and off (or if you can do a bit of soldering, 1 resistor + 1 transistor (less than $1 combined) + some wires, you can get the same level of fan control as Argon). It's a real pity it takes 6 weeks for that to arrive and local seller's cheap cases are not as good and more expensive.

            Argon's fan add-on is pricey. You do get software fan control and that power button. For most people, it is probably easier. The actual fan itself isn't that great.

  • +1

    This or 8gb for emulation

    • +1

      dont even need 4gb for emulation

  • is the 2 cable included mini HDMI to HDMI?

  • Wow - Raspberry Pi's are now more powerful than my old computer!

    • Probably more expensive too.
