I dunno when it happened but I swear SBCs were the new best thing in the universe for a while and everyone was building cool little servers with their RockPis and OrangePis.

Now it’s all gone x86 and Proxmox with everyone shitting on Arm. What happened? What gives?

Is my small army of xPis pointless? What about my 2 Edge routers?

I’ve got about 6 xPis scattered round my flat - is there anything worth doing with them or should I just bin them?

All thoughts, feelings and information welcome. Thank you.

    I have a microserver and various pis ( zero w, 2x 3b+ and a pi b)

    With the exception of the zero w they are all still in action.

    The pi b connects to the pi touchscreen and displays photos from a directory every 5 minutes.

    The 2x3bs are running kodi to stream from my server.

    The zero w was a camera recording and streaming 24/7 but I stopped it as I wanted to do other stuff with it.

      I kept buying Pi Zero Ws, hats and phats then put them all in a drawer cos I couldn’t decide what to do with them. I think I’ve got about 7 or 8. I really should do something with them.

          Link for the lurkers https://github.com/evilsocket/pwnagotchi

          Pwnagotchi is an A2C-based “AI” leveraging bettercap that learns from its surrounding WiFi environment to maximize the crackable WPA key material it captures (either passively, or by performing authentication and association attacks). This material is collected as PCAP files containing any form of handshake supported by hashcat, including PMKIDs, full and half WPA handshakes.
