Raspberry pi bubbies. Gtf in here.


Gixxus Christ!

Bought a pi 2 for the express purpose of using it as a headless encrypted 24-7 torrent box. Tried many online tutorials, even the dummy proof ones where I just copy and paste command line stuff into terminal. I get about 95% through and then shit just doesn't work. It's to the point that when I get the laptop out to SSH into the pi, my dog leaves the room because he associates that with me screaming angry words.

I'm totally OK with shipping someone my pi and a 32gb card if they can unfuck this goddamn thing and make it do what the internet has told me it can.

Lots of times when i've cut and pasted code from a browser the hyphen gets screwy. Deleting it and retyping it and all's fine.  ?

Is there any more hardware than the pi and sd card? With a spare memory card someone could buy the pi for $20  instead of shipping it back and forth  and try the same process and have the pi to boot.

The site I was using has the code in boxes that strip the html so you can paste right to terminal. The issue is that the pi doesn't recognize either a command or file path. Tried to use my USB hdd as a network attached drive and even tho the pi sees it in fdisk and I followed all the directions it won't mount it to the directory I specified. I also have no idea how to run private tunnel or bitguard or some kind of encryption on it so I can torrent without my goddam cable company getting up my ass.

You'd need a USB keyboard and mouse to set it up to ssh, after that you could unplug from the TV and run it headless. If someone else had a pi I could just ship them an SD card and they could set it up and ship it back.
