I picked up an rpi3 this week and it's amazing what this cheap little thing can do. I put retropie on it and I've got tons of emulators and kodi on it. Everything I did with my Mac mini and Apple TV I can do with this $60 purchase. (Note, not everything I COULD do with the Mac mini and Apple TV, but everything I DID do)

Yeah no power supply is going to fix the fact that n64 emulation is still pretty crappy today on machines that can handle it, and n64 emulation is also approaching the hardware limits of what the pi can actually do. Your power supply was the problem, don't get me wrong, because it did improve the situation to the point of it not being the problem anymore, since it made everything else work, but if you want a reliable way to play every n64 game unfortunately emulation is not the way to go with that system on any hardware. You're going to have to get a real n64 and a flashcart if you want that experience.

Are you sure it was the low voltage square and not the too hot square? From the way you describe it, it sounds like the too hot square and it would make sense if it was trying to render gl in software mode.

The Xbox one wireless protocol is encrypted and thus far not a lot of progress has been made at getting it working outside of windows. Bluetooth is your best bet there.

Just to confirm its the original Xbox DVD remote, not the Xbox 360 remote. Ah I see. I have no idea then. I've never used that particular dongle. I used a flirc dongle with a Logitech harmony remote and that worked great. Now I'm just using a Wii U pro controller via Bluetooth because my baby got ahold of the remote and broke it

IAmKale posted:Are there any particular gotchas I should be aware of when deploying Pi-hole? I'm considering setting one up at my parent's place to minimize their exposure to ad/malware but before I do so I want to make sure I'm not just opening myself up to more hassle because it's a particularly finicky solution. You need to whitelist a couple things for quality of life. I can't remember the exact domains right now but YouTube will stop recording history (which is useful for some people) if you don't unblock a domain there, and windows 10 won't update (even manually) without unlocking a few. There's also the thing that the top result on google is almost always a paid listing but those can be useful anyway, and when clicking those you get an error about the website being blocked which can be frustrating for someone that's not computer savvy. I really like the pihole on my home connection but my parents would be really confused if they clicked google search results and they came up with a website blocked error. Installing ad block plugins in their browsers might be a better idea.

Matsuri posted:That's all fine with me either way, I was just wondering. I do hope SNES emulation has improved though. The lagging and sound issues I had playing through Chrono Trigger 4 years ago was a little disappointing, but not enough to make me give up playing it-- my expectations are a bit higher now. RetroPie on a pi3 can play most SNES games ok but there's still lag and frame drops here and there.

mystes posted:Even if it is simpler in practice than alternatives, isn't it sort of silly to buy another device and attach it to your router just to run another DNS server? It's more than just a dns server though. It has a management panel that is specifically tailored for it's purpose. Easy to use whitelist and logs for troubleshooting the inevitable connection issues that crop up from blocking stuff. It will run off any Debian based Linux distro though so if your router or other device attached to your network is running Debian, Ubuntu, or some other apt-get distro it will work fine on that too. Plus pi-hole is really lightweight so you can use the pi for other poo poo. I use mine as a pi hole but also use a pi2scart device hooked up to my CRT for arcade emulation.

You should be able to have 2 different DHCP setups with some routers. One that sets the DNS to to the pi and the other that sets it to the ISP (it whatever public DNS you want). I don't know if anything specific though. The real question for me is why would you want to do that?

GobiasIndustries posted:PiHole update: it's up and running! I ran apt-get upgrade and it said there was nothing that needed changing, tried again, no dice. rebooted, tried again, no dice. flatten/reinstalled using the same image I'd gotten from the official website......and it worked We're you running apt-get update first? Apt-get upgrade won't know about new packages if you don't update first. Update is the process that checks for new packages.

Whatever. So, I turned the DHCP server on, now all that's left to do is get it on the guest wifi network. I set the whole thing up headless, can I just create another wpa_supplicant.conf file in the boot directory with the updated wifi settings like I did on first boot?

Pihole is really just a package that uses a bunch of other services. Dnsmasq and lighttp for the most part. By default these should be ports 53 and 80.

I’m not sure if they have their own sub domain or anything. This bugs my wife to no end on our setup. I don’t give a poo poo though so I’d rather they be blocked than unblock a bunch of other stuff just so those links work.

TraderStav posted:For pi-hole, do you get those stupid sites that complain about disabling your adblocker still? Is there a simple way to whitelist (notably for my wife). Is there an extension for Chrome for managing it? Whitelisting can be challenging because it’s not as simple as whitelisting “cnn.com” because the ads on “cnn.com” aren’t actually being served from “cnn.com” but “ads-123.scumtasticcdn.com” and the only way you’d know that would be to go into the developer tools to see what was failing to load. So if your wife is experienced with that sort of thing, yes very easy. The web ui does log every query and tell you what’s blocked so by looking through the log you can find what needs to be whitelisted. It’s not a simple thing though and you kind of have to understand how pi-hole works and the basics of DNS to be able to do it. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Dec 30, 2018 |

mod sassinator posted:Well if you're running a web server from home the real answer is: don't. A digital ocean VPS or similar are $5 a month to run ($60 a year, cheaper than a video game) and much more useful. For something like a wiki that's only static content you could even use a static site generator like hugo and host it all on S3 or similar storage so you only pay for what you access. All of this can be easily locked down with SSL (free certs from letsencrypt.org) too vs. the nightmare of trying to do self signed certs at home and getting browsers to trust them. And the way more and more modern web tech is going you'll have to run sites behind real SSL certs to do anything interesting (all the recent HTML5 additions like web bluetooth, HTTP/2, service workers, etc. only work on SSL sites and won't work from a little Pi serving insecure traffic on your local network). You know you can use certbot/letsencrypt on a home server too right? It’s dead easy.

I have a project that I'm working on to stick a raspberry pi into an old mac classic (not the color one) case (the motherboard was eaten by the battery long before I got it) to actually use the little CRT inside of it but apparently the pi3 can't do the proper video timings over it's DPI mode but the 4 can so I went online to get one and discover that, like everything else, there's a loving shortage and the only people buying these things are scalping them. I know that these guys tend to get left on a shelf or tucked into a drawer so I'm wondering if any of you guys here have a pi4 just lying unused that you'd be willing to let go for MSRP+shipping to Boston? (all the ones on ebay/facebook/craigslist are like $100+ and it's not worth it to me to pay that much for this project and I don't want to reward the scalpers) I've already built a little ADB->USB device to use the old keyboard and mouse and video is basically all I have left and I really don't want to go down the route of sticking an LCD in here.

PBCrunch posted:The Pi 400 seems to be readily available. Can you take the board out of one of those and use it? The 400's form factor is almost ideal for this actually because I could easily 3d print a new rear I/O panel for the classic (the stock one is easily removed and replaced) and have it right at the back of the case where the regular I/O is. One fatal flaw though, no 3.5mm audio output. Its only audio out is the HDMI. I looked in to this first and ultimately decided the lack of analog audio out was a dealbreaker.

wolrah posted:Depending on how much of the GPIO header you need there are plenty of DAC hats that could be connected up to give you an audio output that's a lot better than the 3.5mm on a normal Pi. Unfortunately the GPIO gets taken over by the DPI mode in this configuration (for the CRT) so you lose almost all of the pins.

wolrah posted:Oh right, forgot about that. Annoyingly it looks like one of the modes actually almost would work, but the one pin it uses that's also used for audio is of course the one used for the I2S output signal to the DAC, the most critical of them all. That’s what I was going to wire the ADB-USB to if I were going to go that route. I’ll just wait until I can get ahold of a regular pi4.
