Since I know MX Linux by heard, my config of the Pi5 SBC with MX was quite fast.

#MXLinux #rPI #respin
#SBC #ARM #Pie #Raspberry #GPIO #Electronics #OpenSource #POSIX

I bought this for an #RPi I'm going to use after a few years of it being idle. Most of the reason I bought it is to marvel at the fact that you can get 2TB in that form factor.

Not having run with my #RPi 4. It won't hand out an IP address with dnsmasq to a client that is requesting one. I can see in the logs it won't give out an IP, but I can't see my error in the config file... Probably a #dyslexia moment...! The logs don't say why it can't give out an IP address...!

I'll be the first to admit I'm not great at #soldering but I believe this should do the trick! These will display some basic information about the #Pi such as the hostname, CPU load, memory usage, disk usage and temperature.

So, I've been living here for three weeks now. Haven't boot up any machine yet proper. But I had laptop/monitor combo running just to confirm, that my solar can easily provide power the whole day.

And yet, here's the thing. It's not raining when it produces enough power. So I work around the plot or hike to get the feel of the ridge. When it is raining, the laptop drains too much for any consistency in #adhd workday.

Gotta dig out my #rpi and set it up proper again.

#heise erklärt in diesem 23min-Video wirklich einfach, wie man einen billigen, alten #RaspberryPi-Rechner nutzt, um eine eigene #Cloud-Sychronisierung für Daten selbst zu bauen.

Der Use-Case hier ist ein #Foto-Backup vom #Smartphone.

Vielleicht genau das richtige Projekt, um mal mit Linux anzufangen? Das Video beinhaltet alle dafür notwendigen Schritte.

Today I did read about (at the #SymbOS webpage) #insaneOS
a #baremetal os for the #RPi 1,2,3 with some #emulators and #soundtrackers and a SymbOSVM and #ScummVM
Anyone heard about this before?

Heya @rpimag

Check out this guy's project over on Bsky. From the text:

My son's #disability means he struggles to press the spacebar twice quickly enought to fly in #Minecraft. No problem, made a £10 MacroPad with the @raspberrypi.com Pico. Fully designed with @lightburn.bsky.social He's back in the game! #accessibility #accessibletech  #rpi #pico #lasercut

@alwirtes people are going to recommend #MotionEye and or #MotionEyeOS but I spent a fruitless month trying to use it to run a #Rpi dash cam and got NOWHERE.

One of my biggest frustrations in life is that amazing little computers for the people like the Raspberry Pi and others exist, but I'm not clever enough to do much new or interesting with them other than to use them to make music. Mind you, I'm not into IOT all that much, so there's that, too.

After changing my rpi4 to use pipewire instead of alsa direct, mpd will stop play a sound track (wav file) on loop for almost 6 hours, without drama. After that time it will go silent and repeatedly log "pipewire_output: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun". I have to manually stop it then restart it and it starts again.

This doesn't make sense, it played it for almost 6 hours without issues. Any ideas?

A question for the FediBrain:
I need to run a mobile FullHD handycam (indoors) for a school production.
I have the cam, and have successfully done wireless streaming to OBS via vdo.ninja using a laptop and a HDMI->USB dongle. But the laptop is not mobile enough, and batteries won't last??? (I need to stream for about an hour on a charge, to be safe).

I'm thinking a Pi5 with a chunky USB powerbank can do this?

Thoughts? Alternatives?

So someone in FLOSS #DeltaChat group said #ARM #SBCs are terrible at computation power. And that a #miniPC has much better computation power comparing to something like #RaspberryPi. I had plans for a #homeserver and I wanted to use my #LibreComputer #Alta and utilize its #npu.

Libre Computer boards have really good prices comparing to the performance they provide comparing to other ARM SBCs such as #RPi. However, comparing them with a mini or even #microPC, an old micro PC provides better computation power.

LibreComputer #RenegadeElite features a #Rockchip #rk3399, 4GB DDR4 and costs 76 USD:

https://libre.computer/products/roc-rk3399-pc/

On the other hand, this renewed #HP #EliteDesk is 100 USD and with far better specs:

https://www.amazon.com/HP-EliteDesk-Mini-Desktop-Computer/dp/B08L9NB7RD?rnid=2257851011&th=1

Maybe it's not fair compare a renewed product with a brand new one. But it seems for having a homeserver to #selfhost things, if we factor out power usage, an old mini PC is better than a new ARM SBC.

However, if we also consider power usage, the abovementioned LibreComputer board consumes only 15 W under full load. And the old Ryzen 5 on that HP mini PC has a TDP of 35 W. This affects running cost of your homeserver and also the cost for the #UPS. But for myself, there isn't a big deal between 15W and 35W.

Edit: Comments or advises are very welcome!

Edit2: On second thought, I won't go for second hand or renewed. I want to use them as servers and this means 100% uptime. And I doubt second hand ones will survive, especially given the more power they consume which generates heat. And since my budget for a homeserver is 100 USD, ARM SBCs seem to be the only choice. I can research more though.
