I have a honey pot running on it at the moment.

Can Anybody Link A Virtual Machine while I go download some RAM?

I have got a couple of questions for you about using the PI as a NAS.

 

What software do you use?

How are your drive(s) connected?

If you have more then one drive connected. Are they redundant?

The issue with finding projects for the Raspberry Pi is the vast majority of them already have prebuilt solutions and that's no fun. I want something that hasn't been made yet and I have to make myself. Think of something in your life that you could automate and go from there.

 

I've been toying around with the idea of creating a digital assistant of sorts. It would be comprised of either a really large LED matrix or several medium sized ones and it would display stuff like the time, the weather, events from my calendar, what shows are coming on tonight, and cycle through the people I'm following on Twitch that are live. Assuming the Github api has the functionality, it could also display a notification when somebody I follow on Github starts a new project as well. I also want it to have alarm clock functionality and play a new song every morning as well as play a few internet radio stations when I get home from school (Monstercat, Fixt, 6forty radio, etc.).

My Raspberry is currently inside my main computer, connected to the power button. When I'm outside, if something happens to my computer I can power cycle it by connecting to the Pi (I also have WakeOnLan enabled, but if the computer is toasted, it won't be enough)
