What're you doing with your RPi machines? Media servers? General tinkering/hacking? They are fun machines, I run my household music server off of one of mine.

Me too! And another running pi-hole (and for Kyle, that's where you put the raspberry pies).

Is that like corn hole? But you toss a raspberry pie?

I ended up running both Raspberry Pis wired to the router and using my WiFi Windows CPU to conduct the file transfers. I thought it would be much faster but, it ended up taking forever anyway.
BTW... I have both Pis configured as emulators running RetroPie. One is a RPi 3 and the other is an RPi 4. Wanted to transfer ROMS from the 3 to the 4 in order to get better performance.
Once I get the Pi 4 to where I want it, I will probably use the Pi 3 for another project. Anyone got any ideas??

Very cool - RPi's are a lot of fun. I also control my home automation using X10
I have interfaces to control LED light strips and Philips Hue lighting. I was playing with BASIC Stamps many years ago and built a number of temperature monitors to monitor temperature in our wine cellar, and other key areas, like the garage and sump pump area for near-freezing temperatures, etc. I use another RPi to collect those data. It runs a webserver and I can point a browser at it to check temps and see historical trends. I used to have the ability to dispatch SMS messages if thresholds were passed, but that broke and I haven't gotten around to trying to fix yet.

Nice!
I was surprised at how SLOWWWWW the data transfer was between the Pi3 and Pi4 even when connected to the router via ethernet cable. Took about an hour to transfer a 1.5G file. Took 6 hours to transfer an 8.5G file!

IF anyone has any good leads on how to 'acquire' ROMS for Dreamcast or PS1... drop me a message. I am having a damn hard time finding any.

People on a solar forum I frequent are using RPi to monitor solar charge and status. I remember somewhere using them to monitor and record environmental stuff, water/air temps, salinity, nitrates, nitrites, pH, etc....
