Bought a Raspberry pi with intentions of making a kickass hacking module. Ended up blinking the LED lights from GPIO pins. How's your life?11

This is an old screen that I took some years ago and never had a good place to share...
Hope this helps someone to choose the right language :D

When my friend trolled me just because I was a noob with Linux command line...
To fix your problem you must run:
sudo apt-get purge sudo
And then I tried reinstalling sudo with....
sudo apt-get install sudo 😲14 -
Latest accomplishment. Programming my Raspberry Pi to record my apartment when I leave and stop when I get back.

So, my raspi, that controls my home automation stopped responding to all web requests, when I got home, I noticed that the wifi dongle was not lighting up, It has worked with no problems for 3 months now, so that was really weird, I plugged in the Ethernet cable, ssh'd in and ran ifup wlan0
And BOOM consoled filled with
MESSAGE FROM SYSLOGD@RASPBERRYPI
And some odd codes, no help from Google either,
Then I checked dmesg, and there were these:
Bad relocation sym offset
Mac82011: unknown symbol
At that point I got paranoid, checked my auth.log and it was FULL of failed logins, the size was well over 1Gig, and first entry was from 2 days ago....
Then some weird shit with www-data running SU
Turns out someone got in somehow ( I'm running on nonstandard port and dynamic ip, I was supposed to disable password login today, as i had enabled it temporarily)
That made me check my wifi driver , it was modified 2 mins after they got in, had a badly made rootkit but chkrootkit didn't say anything about it.
Time to setup IDS!
Any tips for where else they might have their shit in?
Oh, also, it didn't take long to bruteforce in the zombie that got in :p
And yes, it was a compromised server that was also wiped recently, so I just emailed -rf'd IT as it had tons of victim passwords
NOBODY MESSES WITH MY MACHINE AND GETS AWAY😠9 -
That moment when figure out your Raspbery Pi 3 can easily stream 1080p video via wifi but can't even properly play music to your speakers

Unfortunately I don't have a laptop, but my raspberryPi will do just fine (I will use other stickers when I get a laptop). Thanks for the stickers :)

During highschool years I was using Ubuntu for the 1st time and saw this strange looking icon named vim....had to reboot PC to close vim 😅

My mum just came to me asking me why the mouse is not working ...like I'm GOD of electronics :( (I'm just a simple dev) I simply though that the battery is dead because it's old. Soooooo.....
I showed her how to open it and how to change the battery. After 5 min she came back with a new battery and the same mouse asking me to fix it for her....
In my mind I literally snapped my brain was bleeding and exploding at the same time.
I just cringed a fake smile and changed the battery in front of her very slowly. I sure she won't remember how to do it next time.
At the end of the story I can't talk back or be angry to my parents I have to much respect for them. They though me everything from how to poop, speak, dress, eat and so on.
Be kind to your parents.5 -

Lots of fun open source stuff, but I had a lot of fun working on a survey taking m&m dispenser. The goal was to encourage students to answer survey questions that would help the faculty get a better idea of what the students found most valuable (different things they wanted to learn, classes they found useless, etc.). So me and another student built this :) Its a node server running on an Intel Galileo, which served up an admin and survey interface using React. When a student answered a survey question, a servo would turn a gear, which interfaced with a rack and pinion that had two little pits in it. When it would slide under the jar, two m&ms would fill the pits, then the rack and pinion would push them out. Then we had a webcam hooked up to the end of it that would compare the colors of the m&ms to see if they were the same. If they were the same, the student would get more m&ms. The gear pieces were 3D printed.
We could never get the webcam stuff to work right with the Galileo because OpenCV (the computer vision library we were using to interact with the webcam) could not be built/compiled on such a specific version of Linux. Later, I was able to do it with a RaspberryPi, but never got it reintegrated.

How many "normal" people (we as programmers are special) languages do you speak/understand?
I know English, Italian, some French & Spanish and some Slavic language like Macedonia, Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian. What about you?32 -
Designers!!
What do ya think
A dashboard for a website
The cpu temp progress bar has jquery/AJAX wich outputs the cpu temperature at every each 3 second of the server wich is on a raspberry pi at the moment.
Does it look good for these days?
PS: used php for the backend

Got to know about OSMC/Kodi last week. Took out my Raspberry Pi. Setup OSMC over the weekend, did all the cable setup for 4 external hard drives and connected to TV via HDMI. After few configurations, I'm all setup. I'm astonished by all the features it provides. Fetching data from TMDb (I had actually created a javaFX app to do this for my local library just last month), remote control from Android as well Web Browser. Enabled UPnP and now I have my complete media center floating around my house network. It is one of the best open source project I have laid my eyes upon. Wish I could attach more pics.

I'm so happy with my full stack basic test web application made with: raspberrypi, uwsgi,nginx,python3,flask,sqlite3,render_template,html
I have 2 pages:
/users where I can see the whole users table and filter by id
/insertuser (in the image) where I can add an user to the table users

Soon I will be talking about a new communication protocol between Raspberry Pi and Arduino ... At the meeting ... IoT enthusiasts.
I am excited and slightly upset.7 -
During my 1st internship (IT support for a big office + maintenance of their server) there was a guy that was refusing to read email from his monitor, he had to print them out and then read... We were so pissed off because he was wasting so much paper and toner.3

Just finished setting up PiHole on my RaspberryPi.... no more adblock extensions with shitty performance... no more custom hosts files... and network level adblocking for all devices...
FUCK YEAH
oh, and I added so many lists that it now blocks about 350k domains (ads and malware)
Today was a good day.. time to hibernate...5 -
Seeing code control things in the real world is the most satisfying thing ever, I'm getting a robot car kit Soon and I'm so excited3

How to self host a website?
Seriously, through many guides out there, I was never been able to see my site (hosted on a raspberrypi with nginx) outside the local network. I always tried to link my router to no-ip without success outside my localhost, the port 80 is already open for the raspberrypi. I live in Italy, can it be that the local ISPs obstacle the creation of such homemade website hosts?39 -
recently made a mp3 player out of my raspberry pi 3 b+, trying to add a 16x2 lcd to it and as usual, failing to suceed 😂

CarPC based on a RaspberryPi.
The main idea was to have a modern multimedia PC in the car that does not only rely on touch input but also has physical knobs and buttons to be used while driving.9 -

I fucking hate laud people!!!
OMG you are like fucking 20cm from your friend and I can hear every fucking thing from across a 250 people room.
And that mother fking laughing is so annoying...I don't give a flying duck if your software is bugged you wrote that code shut up and solve it.
I'm trying to concentrate because there is an exam in 1,5h3 -
Had to take my Raspberry Pi 3 out of this case I printed, because the thing was getting way to hot for PLA plastic, and that was just running IDLE or VNC! A much cooler B+ and a Pi 2 reside in there now!

When I created my first app on RaspberryPi. It was an app that watches window sensors and shows the information about windows status (close or open) and shows the information on web application. Тhis was my first time when I faced with embedded development with Python.

Ok so 2 questions here:
(I’m not good at googling)
1. I want to run my telegram bot and some other really small things on a server. Do you have an idea what I could use. (Services or shy like a raspberry pi) it really doesn’t need much capacity
2. (Thank you for reading this long and helping me out) How can I download a website in nodejs and use sth. Like getelementbyid? -

So, I have a Raspberry Pi and I have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions? I already have a SD Card with retropie.19 -
