Just got a Raspberry Pi3 as a gift and I have no idea what I should do with it. Also I didn't knew about Raspberry Pi3 until now. So maybe someone can help with some ideas. :)

    learn about docker and run your apps on it... and stuff like owncloud and your own netflix like plex or streama.

    I use one as a gogs (open-source web-front-end for git) server. So basically private github for free. 😉

    I've been using pi3 as an ad blocker over my home wifi, so any device connected to my wifi has ads blocked by default :D

    I got mine triple-booted with Raspbian, OpenElec and Retropie.

    Raspbian to do basic web surfing stuff.

    OpenElec for online streaming movies and TV episodes.

    Retropie for retro games.

    Best thing ever!

    I have two pi 3's right now. One is set up as an Amazon Echo and the other is set up as a RetroPie. They're cool little machines :)

    I personally try to test my code in it, sometimes even writing it directly there (pycharm is amazing for this) if it can run properly there it will probably run on pc's

    There's a cool article on lifehacker about setting it up with kali and a mini touchscreen hat to use as a pocket pentest swiss army knife. Cool stuff.

    You can also use it as a super overpowered python-flavored arduino for learning electronics.

    Friend of mine built a Pi-powered arcade machine that holds thousands of games. Plenty of tutorials for stuff like that on adafruit.

    I would use it to test my internet speeds to know when ISP is fucking with me. And host bunch of stuff like webhook bots, build servers, print servers, yo name it.

    Same here actually. I bought mine a while ago. Actually I think it was the pi 2. I still haven't done anything with it...
