Project 0 - Find a Pi at a reasonable price
🤣🤣🤣
Relatable
I saw one at micro center for not too bad a price
Very relevant in this day and age indeed!
I was thinking the same thing. Electronic parts in general are hard to find.
Literally what am scouting for so I can get it on my birthday lmfao it's so painful to see how the model I want costs 5000 INR but on Amazon where its in stock it's costs like 10,000 INR+ like bruh
My project for this year. Find somewhere I can actually buy a Pi
May the force be with you.
That's the #0 project!
easy to preorder from a place like canakit
@@mavfan1 I can preorder a kit over twice MSRP of the pi itself.
Yes, a list of projects to do with the older PIs in 2022 (and later) would be nice.
Pihole was my 1st raspberry pi project and introduction to linux and home networking. Such a great device.
I remember when the Pi first came out. Its amazing to see how far both the Pi and tech has come in the last 10 years. Lets hope for 10 more good years!
Still the only SBC worth buying!
Can pi run Linux
@@box57675 Yea
@@box57675anything can run Linux but can Linux run anything?
I would add one myself: an LED cube. It does however require quite a bit of processing power due to the quick frame updates
LEDs are an area I haven't explored too much. I actually have a few different products and rolls of LEDs in a box right now... just haven't had the week or two to really start messing around with them. I know it'll become a mild addiction and suddenly my kids will wonder why the entire house is a rainbow of color once I'm done :D
@@JeffGeerling haha, if I had the time, I would 100% RGB my house and annoy the hell out of my parents doing so XD
@@JeffGeerling I have a little experience in this area ;-) ua-cam.com/video/2OUV8CasYDE/v-deo.html
@@rednassie1101 you could pitch it by saying changing to red lights at night will help improve sleep quality and lessen the impact of sleep inertia so you can wake up more quickly too.
Thank you Jeff! I have been tinkering with Pi's for a few years - Recently have been running some fun projects on my 4B - And I always seem to end up on your videos during my research - thank you!
Jeff I stumbled upon your videos a little while back now and I have to say, I love the attention to detail and how you choose to show information. Thanks bud, you're helping me learn as well.
Excellent man! I used to have a greenhouse controlled by my Raspberry Pi... about 2 years ago I moved and had to take it down. Recently dug my Pi 4 back out, planning on continuing all my projects including localized predictive weather modeling. Thanks for the run through, good to know so many cool things are out there! Subbed!
Loved the video Jeff as always! I have one single Raspi 4 running my home assistant for my full house, an Apache server, a file server and even a wireguard VPN server. The board has never failed to surprise me. Love it, and ofcourse love your content!
Pumped to witness the action involving your work with wireless offerings, Jeff. Enjoying your consistently great content.
I am so glad I have just come across this channel, you are both incredibly well spoken and clearly knowledgeable. I look forward to seeing the rest of the content you provide, subscribed.
HBD to Raspberry Pi!
I always love your video sharing about RPi-related things, and these content really help a lot! It's so amazing that I have tried half of the projects you list though I had zero knowledge about programming, linux and any open source software before I met RPi at the first sight. I totally agree that even though RP is not that powerful, it truly is a great start point for learners and beginners! I am trying out Pi Cluster project right now, and I hope I can soon learn new things about kubernetes. It is really exciting! Glad and thrilled to see more Pi-related contents get shared!
Couldn't have chosen a better timing to upload, thank you!
Got my first Pi coming in 2 days and I've been scratching my head for what to do with them, great list!
Congrats on finding one. Have fun and learn a ton!
Hi Jeff, thanks for the great videos. After this one I installed pi-hole on my Mac the same day and was stunned at how much quicker pages loaded, with all that advertising clutter swept away. The next projects I have in mind are the router and VPN but chip shortages here mean it could be a while. I have a Pimoroni enviropi+ stations indoors and outdoors running using MQTT and Node-red on pi-zeros and a couple of camera projects I'm tinkering with. Keep up the great work!
Great list, I've implemented 8 out of 10 and mostly confirm your ranking. Personally, I would have added IOT experimentation with LORA receivers/senders cheap and available. Thanks again for the great content
excited for this video! always looking forward to you content!
LOVE the subtle jab at Linus
Thanks for the video, Jeff! So many awesome projects that the Pi can be used for. It really is one of the most versatile little computers. I'm partial to the RetroPie capabilities. 😉
I will definitely try to build one of them!
Thank you Jeff Geerling!!
Jeff you have the most amazing channel. You've taken me down so many roads. Blessings on all you do.
Happy birthday, Raspberry Pi! 🎉

In the video you mentioned youtube premium to support creators. How does a premium subscription impact creators? I have premium but was not aware it affected channels individually (I mostly have it because youtube ads have become unbearable).
Time flies! I was quite busy with our kids (who were infants/toddlers) when the Pi was announced and kind of brushed it aside thinking it might be more applicable in industrial applications (which it seemed to be target to in the early days). Little did I know that I would be hooked onto this little device a few months later when I picked one up from someone locally and ended up by building a rudimentary home automation system to monitor temperature/humidity in the bedroom and turn on a humidifier for my younger child who was prone to bloody noses. I have since gone on to implement pretty much every project (except Retro-gaming) in this video and even built a cloud based environmental monitoring system for my research lab that uses off-the-shelf (SEEED, etc.) as well as custom environmental (air quality, temp, humidity etc etc.) sensors to monitor indoor environmental conditions anywhere in the world and send the data to our cloud infrastructure for real time (and post) analytics in support of the various studies (including Covid-19 related) that our lab scientists/researchers might be working on. What a ride! In fact, my younger one (the same who suffered from nose bleeds), couple years back was also intrigued by the Pi and we started by building the Google AIY Voice Kit with the Pi and she has since gone on to write her own apps and won awards as part of her elementary school's Technovation team. Sorry for the long post but who would have thought this tiny device (which I had brushed aside initially) would make (learning about) computing so ubiquitous and fun for kids and grownup kids alike. Happy 10th Birthday, Pi! Great video as always, Jeff! (Looking forward to the security related Pi videos you mentioned in this videos).
@@jon1913 When a Premium subscriber watches a video on my channel, I end up getting about the same cut from that view as I would for an ad spot, so it's basically a way to have supporters not have to see any ads, and creators still to get some revenue from playback.
this was a good video Jeff!
Can you put the vpn and pi hole on the same pi
One of my favorite eclectic uses for the Raspberry Pi that is far too niche for a Top 10 is the MT-32pi project.
Specifically, having the ability to stick a Pi CM4 onto a carrier board that attaches to the wavetable header on an old sound card is silly and brilliant. Baking an accurate Roland MT-32 synth + highly capable soundfont synth that brings to life hundreds of retro games without the need for expensive hardware just brings joy.
Serdaco makes the CM4 carrier board called WP32 McCake and it is a delightful addition to my old 486.
Thank you Jeff for your enthusiasm and content.
Hello Jeff, I'm looking forward to all the projects you're talking about. THX for your work.
Just set up my pi 2B. This video made me so excited!!
To add to this list, I'm going to suggest Volumio or MoodeAudio. They allow you to make a local or streaming music box which you can hook up to an existing audio system or stand alone
RPi just turned 10? Wow, they grow up so fast!
Between my pi-hole and an ad blocking browser extension, whenever I use the internet away from home I always experience a bit of culture shock at the number of ads and website slowdowns.
RPis are such great systems.
I use one as a webdev platform to force me to code efficiently. My logic is that if I can make code that loads/runs fast on a Pi without skimping on function or design, then I'm doing it right..
I'm currently working out the electrical connections and interface design for an RPi zero 2W smart thermostat (once I can get my hands on a 02W!). Yes, I know others have made them, but doing it from scratch is half the fun (and half the frustration!). Home automation is the project to follow that one.
I basically wont touch the internet without an adblocker. Its like the advertisers know what buttons to push to make me hate them and never want to give them money. Animating, getting in the way, fake download buttons
If you're still stuck without a 02W, try a Pico W. Idk about the power difference at all but a pico is out there for dirt cheap
Thanks for posting all those links in the description!
one that i've done several times around my house is an airplay receiver (or similar wireless audio receiver), so much better than bluetooth and very convenient to hook my phone into any one of the sound systems around the house
Love Opencv detecting trucks and suitcases! Great video Jeff
lol that's just the default set that shipped with the PiCam modules; it thought my phone was a suitcase too. I'm guessing whoever trained that model was really into travel 😆
@@JeffGeerling trave
Another use for an older Pi (in my case a 1B): An SSH client into another computer. Mine SSHs into my Windows desktop, into a folder of one letter batch files that do things like change the RGB lighting via OpenRGB. Though this is really only useful if you've got room for another keyboard (I had an partial one sitting around collecting dust)
Why not just buy a cheap BT slim-line mini Mac knock-off Chinese keyboard from eBay, they're only £12 and work great with a Raspberry...plug and play supported with the USB BT transceiver. Or you can get a Raspberry Pi 400 which I have which is actually built inside its own well made mini keyboard with a ton of ports on the back!
Thanks for this compilation!
Looking forward to all the Pi videos you're talking about making this year!!!
Hey Jeff! I got an 8 GB Pi 4 B (I had a Pi 1.2 B+ before) after seeing how much fun you have with it. I'm beginning to believe that it was an awesome decision, so thank you!
Hey man, what site did you buy it from?
@@mutant69 Amazon IN 😁 during a hefty sale.
@@eccentricOrange That's great dude. How much did you pay for it? And is it the C0 revision?
@@mutant69 the what revision?
When I finally get my hands on some more pi s (soon hopefully), I'll be exploring some of these ideas. They are hard to come by at this time. The 4B seems to be where it is at with the gigabits and USB 3. Those two features open many doors.
Love your channel Jeff. Great stuff:)
Love the PI! Can't wait to see whats coming up next.
i still have the first ever version Raspberry Pi model B with merely 256MB of RAM... it is an antique for today standards...
And yet still supported with the latest OS! Amazing support, it has, though it is quite long in the tooth.
Can I offer another suggestion?
One of the pi's I love most is my time PI. I have a lot of PI's, and I run various services, most of which are very dependent on a precise time. The PI is not great at keeping time, some of them building a time skew of a few seconds over the course of an hour. It would be all great if you could ALWAYS sync time with the internet, but as I found out, when internet fails, the time starts failing and then everything fails.
To get around this, I have a specific PI only to keep the time. It uses a GPS device to get the time independent of the internet, and runs a ntp (network time protocol) server for every other equipment that needs that. I know it's simple, but very useful as well.
Super interesting use of the Pi, thanks for sharing!
Excellent video Jeff - again. Thank You.
This video is fantastic. I am looking forward to playing with some pi’s this year. Thanks for the inspiration.
Finally! A top ten RPi projects video that actually has really cool projects!
I tried to only include projects where the Raspberry Pi is the perfect fit-not too overkill, not too weak. Plus, it helps that I've built each of these projects myself and have some experience to back up the recommendation ;)
Here's to 10 more new top projects in the next 10 years!
Nice list. The PiHole is top of my to-do list. UA-cam premium is very good. I'm happy to pay for content.
Great video Jeff! I love the 4g wireless pi concepts and content.
Your enthusiasm is infectious!
I’d love a video on how many different things you can run on a single pi. For example, say you have pihole set up, what else could you run on that pi so it’s use can be maximised?
It really depends on the Pi. You could easily run pihole and pivpn on the same Pi 3 for example.
I have 3 pis, a 4 running home assistant (with Adguard instead of pihole for ease of install), a zero 2W running my 3d printer and another 4 as a microscope (openflexure) and omv
Oh shoot, I completely forgot OctoPrint-that would've probably hit my top 10 list too... next time. I forgot about it because after I set it up it just became the standard way for me to think about how 3D printers are run :D
Great video... have to say I bought my first Pi last year and they are great fun! Mainly used it to run Retro Games, but love messing with the other OSs that are around for it to see what it can handle. Happy Birthday Pi!
I always come to you for your sweet pi vids.
You’re basically my Pi dealer.
Thanks man. If anyone else is interested in pi, I’ll send them to you.
After watching WAN show 2 weeks ago, and now i can see both sides about AdBlock argument. Thanks Jeff, stay safe 🔥
Of course the arguments are more nuanced, and Linus probably regrets the specific choice of words, but it's still an important and ongoing discussion in the tech industry. Maybe we can someday get back control of our privacy on the Internet.
Always been a fan of the Pi since it came out. The original Pi A & B and same for Pi 2 were a little tricky. The Pi 2 rebooted with a camera flash that they decided wasn't a fault but a science lesson. They have came a long way and all from Pi 3 have been great products. Not sold on the Pico when ESP32 exists.
also, pico currently doesn't support bluetooth...
Thanks Jeff for the vid, you gave me some good ideas :)
Thanks for your video! First time viewer and can't wait to watch your content.
Highly recommend Pi-Hole. Mine runs in a docker container on a mini Windows PC.
Using docker on windows doesn’t make sense. Just install it directly, several pros that way
Hey Jeff! Would love to see how you are using the raspberry pi with your UPS. Are you using SNMP to shut down all the devices connected to the ups? Maybe a future tutorial showing us how that works? 😁
planning on it... might end up on my 2nd channel
@@JeffGeerling sweet!
Thank you for this awesome vid!
Excellent video, as always, Jeff. Good work. Keep it up. Can't believe it's been ten years years now. Doesn't seem like it.
I'm really interested in the earthquake monitoring. I live near a railroad and I'm convinced some of the trains cause earthquake level shakes. Would love to be able to get data on it.
Also I'd love to see how you would do light pollution monitoring.
I haven't thought about light pollution, but that could be fun. I'm waiting for shipment of a 'Raspberry Shake' right now and I'm targeting spring/summer for a video and review of it! I hope it will be fun!
Plot twist: Red shirt Jeff is actually presenting this whole video and is holding Jeff hostage
Dude, I'm so happy to have found you! Subscribed!!
i think it was several Years (almost a Decade) ago when i toyed around with some 433Mhz Radio transmitter to remotely turn on the light in our old Chicken barn with is used as Storage in our Garden for all kinds Utensils. But nothing more than a Fun-Side-Project....
Fast forward ~ 10 Years and every Raspberry i ever owned is sitting right next to some kind of Screen ...KODI'ing his Life away :)
Last month you got me totally hooked on the Home Automation Hub...mainly because the Ecosystem for Homeautomation has obviously greatly improved.
The "Yellow" seams like the right Gadget to get back into Home Automation. And for this...i Wanted to thank you. I don't know if i ever would had noticed this fine peace of Equipment without you.
Thanks a lot...you single-handedly (re)ignited the "Pi-spark" in my Heart :)
That Linus burn 😅 ouch
I can highly recommend Pi-Hole, worthy 1st palce - even filters out malicious phishing DNS-queries and if a typo sneaks in while entering a domain: also secured xD Heck even running it as a recursive DNS-server improved my life. (If it only would have a DHCPv6 which can function as a statefull DHCPv6 Server ^^')
Hopefully they can get DHCPv6 support improved... we'll see!
They do have DHCPv6? But its just arent reliable from my limited testing.
@@SodaWithoutSparkles Yes but sadly SLAAC and RA onöy - but in this case the host generates its IPv6 by its own with the help of RAs. With a stateful DHCPv6 the DHCP keeps records of Gateway, DNS and IPv6 Addresses of the hosts.
I think we need a hardware suggestion for Pi Hole don't we? If I am going to put this between my cable modem and the rest of my network don't I want an RP4 with 2 Ethernet ports? I'm not anxious to use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, but will if I have to. I'm a big fan of this project as #1 on your list.
@Mark Knecht I have it on an RPI4, and it works fine so far. DNS queries and DHCP requests are not taking too much bandwith/throughput (even on a GE interface) so there's no need for a second interface (it will not replace your router - it does not support / has a WAN function).
Great video Jeff! 😉
Great information, no BS, no wasted time. Keep up the good work.
I pay for premium and also have many channels I sponsor. Ads give me an instant aneurysm, which is not doctor recommended, and I appreciate good content so don't mind directly paying.
wow look at all these projects i can't try as its all still out of stock *weeps*
This is the best list of projects I've seen yet!
Waiting for my pi. Will try the projects when I get it!
5:55 lol shots fired. i block ads to revenge on google ads sense for unjustly banned my adsense account.... more than a decade ago. they claimed i cheated with fraud clicks... which i didn't do.
Ugh, I know many, many people who were banned in that same era (also unjustified)-I'm convinced their anti-cheat algorithm back then had a flaw, and it basically nixed many people's aspirations to build their blogs/sites. But it did teach an important lesson: don't ever build something relying solely on 3rd party ad revenue!
Subscribed just for your take on ad-blocking. Thank you.
Thanks for this - very interesting
Amazing video. keep doing it!
You are such a hero Jeff, keep it up lml
The best feature I like about Pi-Hole besides ad-blocking is the DNS server it is so useful
Network control of my 3D printer is my favourite pi project, but your list has given me some inspiration of projects to try. Thanks for sharing.
I completely forgot to put OctoPrint in my list... I have used one for over a year now, and it's great!
Hey -- I love your content, and am an architect turned programmer. I would be really grateful if you can upload all these projects and share them using a playlist. I am honestly very excited for raspberry pi 5, and think can do a lot with it. Your work is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Your No.1 in the list i.e Pi-Hole was perfectly right I am using Pi Hole on my old Pi 3B+ for more than 2 years and it's working great and it's awesome
Growing up my dad always got rasp Pi's for projects, but would get too busy with work. Plan on setting up some of these for him to look at next time he stops by! Thanks for these!
ham sdr radio projects are cool too, love to see these projects
Wow project, hopefully I will meet you someday to train and learn about pi.. more power and God bless sir.
Found an old Pi 3 I had and installed pi hole on it! So exciting now to go over documents and videos to see what I want to be modified on my settings
Very nice! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the Geerlist.
PERFECT TIMING
Dude! Love It!
This so freaking cool, just subscribed thanks for sharing :))
I'm amazed at the possibilities today.
Awesome projects ! What a great day and age we live in. So many interesting technologies, so little time....
You always post a new video right as I need it. 😂😂😂
Love your content
I love my Raspberry Pi. It is proving to be extremely useful for my Senior Capstone project.
Love the subtle jab at Linus at the end haha
Fired up my old Pi P1 from 2011. Still runs great. Thought I'd see what was going on with this cool platform.
My main practical use is Pi-hole. Works great when some site doesn’t like adblockers and for cutting down on loading times.
Thanks Jeff
Great post...Thanks!
this man is living the life. truly great :D :D :D
Pi helps me to learn about Linux servers, Docker, Networking and lot more, Tinkering with pi is now become a hobby for me. thank you & happy birthday for raspberry pi...
Great projects.
Would love a video on why PIs are so hard to find!
1 year ago I did not know what raspberry is (except in the yogurt). Today I am "checking" 7 of your top 10 in my house already ;-)
Adding 1 more: DAC - a converter of digital to analogue audio - 3 pieces in my house as well ;-)
