Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ? (lemm.ee)

For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

But ultimately, it turns out I like interesting technical problems, learning things, and buying stuff I don't need off the internet - more than chatting to people I don't know.

This is exactly why I’ve never taken a legitimate look into the hobby. I think I’ll keep admiring from afar until I find a good use for it

This concept makes sense but I always assumed ham radio was just about audio. That’s pretty cool

So now I'm more into Linux and self-hosting

You probably know about this already but just in case, since you have an interest in radio and you have experience with antennas, you might have a cool project that could benefit from LoRa. There’s a few open source projects that incorporate the tech to make sensors for crops or messaging friends at festivals when cell towers are overloaded

Digital modes is one of the big growth areas in the hobby, along with the revolution of SDR
