I never turn mine off. I have about 11 pis so far. I even have one to drive six 7-segment LEDs as a clock. Thats about how many pi's I have and I never turn them off. I have a few that seem to crash every few days, but my longest running pi is coming up to a year. I had it running for over a year b...

so has anyone had a pi die?
I know plenty of people think it is dead when its actually a non-booting sd card.

Try lynx or links or elinks.

Is it a good idea to have one giant power supply of 5VDC at n Amps and many pis?

solar3000

I have a feeling it sounds like the answer is "too damn hard" and not a weekend project.

solar3000

Don't know what its called. Cluster?
Someone told me about putting many pis together to form a single PC.
What's that called?
How's it done?

gawky and clumsy, but fascinating anyway. I guess he can now run it at 100GHz.

Of course when networking is configured you access it over the net via a web interface, like your home router box, or via ssh.

So is that the RS323 port?

so did anything actually happen on pi day? Yep. A bunch of silly people who write their dates backwards (compared to EUR, JIS & ISO standards) fussed about the day of the month and the month of the year and got ever more silly at 9:26:53 on that same day. There was no mention this Saturday in the n...

Nice. Will try soon.
so it will work with any wad?

Unrelated but I noticed choco doom from the raspi store does not work.

solar3000

Not sure if this is related. 1: I have cheap USB powered speakers plugged in my pi 2b. Its audio input also goes in the pi. At any volume, there's a loud hiss which varies with CPU or drive activity. 2: Moving the USB that powers the cheap speakers from the pi to another power source reduces the noi...

So from what you're saying, Edison boots linux. How do you "see" its boot-up? How do you access it once it boots up?

I finished my Raspberry Pi water cooler and I want to test the coolers limit my running the pi's cpu and gpu at 100% capacity. My goal is for he pi at max load to get no hotter that 45 degrees and I think my cooler can handle it but I want to test it. Hey, its your money. Post a picture. I'd like t...

I was surprised when I first got my pi 2. It runs cool to the touch.
The pi 1 hurts my finger if I leave it on the CPU for long.

solar3000

the admins talk to people all time time. they respond to PMs well also.

konkorfour, I don't know how it works, but a program called 'fbi' all lower case that opens up pictures but does it without X windows. So, I'm guessing you want instead of a picture viewer like 'fbi' but a browser. While I'm probably not answering your question, I am trying to understand it and it i...

what about this one:

http://www.binaryemotions.com/raspberry-webkiosk/

Have either of you tried either that or kweb3?

solar3000

I forget who, but there's a guy who posts often who has in his signature line something about a kiosk OS.

solar3000

like what he said. but also, when in doubt run arch. if it doesn't say 64, then its 32.

solar3000

I think I read somewhere that xbmc is no longer maintained for raspberry pi.

also have you seen app store?

they have free emulators.

they have old games that work well too. like Doom.

solar3000

so what happens if you try omxplayer -o local mymovie.mp4?

solar3000

thanks interesting.
my pi B would crash if I transfer large files.

Here:
Pi B with SD card and a USB flash card.
I simply copy large files or many files from SD card to USB flash card and after a few minutes the system would go RO.
I've tried that with a USB hard drive too. same problem.
