Anyone have a raspberry pi?

[[drunk] 2021 Giant Stance]

I just ordered the cool CPU case for it and the ice tower cooler and the pi 4 b. Going to just use it for pi hole but I thought it was super cool so I figured why not.

It's going to be fun learning how to get it working and stuff.

Never really did any programming before but seems easy enough to do stuff.

This was a good reminder for me,.... I'd forgotton this apple pie was in the fridge till i saw this. Thanks ppl :)

Can I use a Rasberry Pi to host my own dedicated server in games like Garry’s Mod?

Probably not, I also don't recommend this if you don't know anything about networking port-forwarding opens you up to denial of service attacks.

I have a raspberry pi 4. I like to try and get old games to work on it (via sourceports). Since it's probably overkill to have a raspberry pi 4 with an ice tower as a PiHole, maybe you can try that as well and see how far you can push the thing. If you want to, of course, just a suggestion.

Not Garry's Mod. Maybe some older games with sourceports available, or open source games that has been ported.

Only if the server has an ARM version or is open source.

It's funny for someone who proclaims to know so much about Linux you really don't know much do you?

And what is wrong with that statement?
As the RasPi is in fact ARM based it requires software designed to work on ARM.
If the software is open source, you can port it yourself, if you're knowledgable enough, or someone does it on their own.

Nothing wrong with it, just taking a poke at their "Linux master claims". I simply said you can't run linux without knowing the CLI, not reliably you will at some point be forced into using the CLI.

And I am aware of the ARM , x86, x64 instruction differences. RPI is a terrible heavy weight server.

You said nothing of that sort. You simply attacked someone claiming they have no knowledge of Linux despite their statement being 100% correct.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what I said.

You just love degrading everyone.

Completely irrelevant, highly depends on the server software and amount of users.

A quick Google search you can find how effective an RPI is as a game server.

Some will run like garbage others will run absolutely fine.

Picking up the basics of programming isn't hard and is generally taught in schools these days. It takes many years to master even as an individual. I went to university after several years of programming (mostly C++) and it was there when it became stressful. Applying it professionally demands a full understanding of computer mathematics, teamwork and an instinctive understanding of design and communication.

Depends on the application field. Computer "mathematics" is rather general and vague. Most of the mathematics is predicate, prepositional, and set-theory mathematical proofs and maybe some mathematical induction for function proofs. Taking years to master not necessarily you can speed up that mastering by working on your own projects.

The hard part of programming is the actual system analysis and design methods.

However one thing that should be noted is depending on the languages abstraction capability can make a language harder to learn, for example Python is more or less easy with fairly forgiving syntax, Java, C++, C# are very unforgiving of mistakes, they also offer deeper levels of abstraction such as abstract classes, interfaces, multiple inheritance, and true polymorphism and encapsulation.
