  • Pihole is great, little hardware projects are fun (touchscreen calendar in the kitchen). They also make great emulators for old systems if you want to install a gaming oriented OS like retropie or lakka and get a gamepad or two.

    I personally wouldn’t use it for a server, but it’s a good learning environment to figure out how to run services.

    The beauty of the pi is it is an SD card swap away from doing a different job. You can buy a few fast cheap 16-32gb SD cards and play around with different options and operating systems.

    Or you can do what I do: get it all set up, shut it down, and forget it exists until you have some wild idea.















  • I could imagine a world where whole virtual organizations could be spun up, and they can just run in the background creating whole products, marketing them, and doing customer support, etc.

    Right now the technology doesn’t seem there yet, but it has been rapidly improving, so we’ll see.

    I could definitely see rich CEOs funding the creation of a “celebrity” bot that answers questions the way they do. Maybe with their likeness and voice, so they can keep running companies from beyond the grave. Throw it in one of those humanoid robots and they can keep preaching the company mission until the sun burns out.

    What a nightmare.
