Ask HN: I got a Raspberry Pi what should I do?
So I got a raspberry pi as a gift. I was wondering what projects should I try on my raspberry pi.

- mraza007 6y agoPerfect that sounds like a great project. I found something called pi-hole I’ll probably install that
- Gollapalli 6y agoDepends what you're into. You can use the pinouts to control motors, or lights, or take inputs from sensors. You can use it as a tiny server. You can use the stuff on raspbian to learn programming. You can add a battery pack and have a tiny portable linux box. If you can dream it, you can probably do it.
- mraza007 6y agoTotally agree with what you said I’m probably going to install Pi-Hole and setup VPN
- init 6y agoThings I did recently: * Control the lights on the christmas tree * Install Pi-Hole * Run nginx and flask to serve videos of courses I've downloaded over the years. Things I plan to do: * Build an embedded operating system by following Stanford's CS140E course: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25272229 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25272229 * Control more LED lights
- mraza007 6y agoThat’s pretty cool. I got it as gift and I have installed my vpn and pihole to block ads. I might look into operating systems course thanks for sharing
- cpufry 6y agoi keep hearing about piholes
- mraza007 6y agoMan it’s great you gotta try it. It blocks almost all the ads on your network
