Skarsnik posted:https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns-over-https/ I have a 0w connected to a former 4” screen from the back seat of my sister-in-law’s wrecked car. I set it up with a magnifying glass because the words are tiny. I think pihole works great and the entire thing is protecting my home network (no Plex or anything family just uses the networks WiFi to stream/browse) to the point my dad remarked on ads not annoying him lately. Best $20 I ever spent except for my vertical mouse.

TheManWithNoName posted:FWIW I've been using a Pi Zero W (plugged into my router for power, no ethernet obviously) for a few months and it has not reduced my speeds at all. I haven’t had to ever think of my Pi 0w unless the power blinks. I know nothing about networking but did steps exactly as the setup and videos said and it just works! I never noticed any speed drops (avg 32 down/8up) but the latency is only in the 30ms range and after three years of satellite and a couple on my tethered phone’s unlimited plan I am extremely happy with what I have.

Bats can’t even post and poo poo at the same time, and even dumbass people (me) will download apps and build electrical grids so that even Australian goons can read our shot posts in real time!

MikusR posted:Yes. As long as you realize that they are not a replacement for a laptop/desktop. They are great unitaskers. I love my RPi 0w. It’s hooked up to a 50” Sony ands wireless keyboard/trackpad and came with Raspian on its SD card. I mainly am using it as a $20+ “hands on” Linux box. I bought some modern O’Reily books-for -Kindle and I can read/practice from my bed (it’s slow input, but that’s a good thing when one is learning). Just going through it learning to open/update/fix issues is waaay better than simply reading a book, although trying to pull up a website is torture. Got 16 big “thick (lol e-book)” manuals from Humble Bundle for $20 and while I might not need Linux Device Drivers for a long time, the shell and basic OS books are well planned and laid out.

Warbird posted:other “I need a small computer physically right here” means it can’t be beat. I loved the Pi 0 placed inside a light switch/secured switch plate to help the hack in 1st season Mr Robot. Reminded me of John Connor’s little cyberdeck hacking the ATM for video games in T2.

repiv posted:even on mobile it's nebulous since there are public adblocking DNS providers you can use instead of janitoring your own My pihole 0w is retired after one-too-many rebuilds on a card. NextDNS has been working great, and paying a pittance fee per month is a better use of time I could use shitposting

I got a RPi0 w from Canakit through Amazon last year for a Pihole. It came with a small hub and mini hdmi + mini usb power cord that has a on/off switch. It works wonderfully, except for lovely microsd cards dying. But that’s known, and I just pay >$5/mo for NextDNS now. It’s still plugged in, but turned off and I have an idea for it (with its wireless ability) but I’m still thinking of Raspbian questions for the Linux thread  …

Klyith posted:If you need the GPIO pins of the Pi for a project, there's the Libre Computer Pi clones on amazon. Those are like a Pi 3 not a 4, and don't have wifi. And I guess not every hat or Pi accessory will work with them. $45 is kinda a ripoff, but less of a ripoff than $100 for a Pi 4. https://shopgoodwill.com has everybody's old-but-functional work laptop starting around $9. Most come ready to go, but it's still cheaper to buy a $11 laptop and a separate AC adapter from Amazon than to find a pi in the wild.

Splode posted:I know someone who just bought one for $140 AUD with accessories from a local (Australian) supplier, so there is stock trickling in. However I watched the pi zero W go in and out of stock in a matter of seconds at the same supplier, so things are still very bad. I don't expect it to improve much for at least 12 months. I bought a 0w for ~  back in early 2020 because I wanted to try running piHole. Holy poo poo did I get lucky on timing…I would love a pi4 for emulation, but gently caress eBay scalping bas-turds!

repiv posted:I just use NextDNS, it has similar functionality but hosted and free/cheap I used NextDNS before l switched to a PiHole, and the service worked fine and fast. I’m using NordVPN on my router more recently, but to be honest aside from torrenting the odd textbook/research NextDNS was the least browsing-impact of the three (but only by a sub-15ish ms if at all). I know they’re all three slightly different solutions to the same general problem, but Nord+uBlock origin seems to be fine for ads and I get VPN privacy to boot. I just got tired of setting up the pi every time the power blinked and buying SD cards.

My Dad has failing eyesight, and has recently been getting me to unsolder/solder some chips and capacitors (like twenty year old ic’s from offset printers). I don’t know much about electronics, but am enjoying myself and it has sparked my interest in doing some basic learning. I know my single RPi 0w is not meant for learning electronics like an Arduino or even a breadboard, but I sorta don’t know where to start. I’ve seen it discussed in this thread as an adjunct to the RPis and just thought I’d ask here since I’m phone-posting and don’t have search: 1) Do we have a basic electronics thread for ignorant newbies? 2) Would it be out of line to ask here for recommendations for a basic kit off Amazon to get components & tools? I have a pretty good soldering gun and some multimeters already, but don’t want to spend $100 on a giant box of resistors when I’m just starting out. I figure some of the Pi discussions are from folks also involved in building related doo-dads and widgets. 3) Are there some true-blue books/websites or even subreddits for folks to learn the basics-for-Dummies? I know I could Google, but such a broad topic would make Google’s poor search results choke. Free is preferable while I’m still trying to see if this goes anywhere with me. My 0w was for a PiHole a few years ago, and I have basic Linux competence with Debian-based and Raspbian from 2020ish. Thanks for any links or advice, again apologies for just asking instead of waiting to get home and start searching and looking for a basic setup.

Thanks soooo much…the links in the first post have lots of what I asked, just wasn’t sure where to look for a thread without “Search.” Really appreciate it!

sb hermit posted:I know this isn’t amazon but if you’re lucky and you live near a Microcenter, they have cheaper boxes of a variety of parts that might work well for hobbyists, including components such as pir sensors, temperature sensors, resistors, capacitors, diodes, and so on. coconono posted:+1 for Microcenter. They’re like big box RadioShacks(RIP). I wish…I live near Memphis, so the closest two MCs near me are 255/294 mile drives. I wish they shipped because of their PC parts & components.
