  1. Here’s what the Zero looks like. Pushpin for scale. I still don’t know why I can’t connect it to my 5ghz wifi - the board supports it - but that’s a problem for another day.

    Edit: I was an early purchaser, back when there were no cases at all for it. This is a badly fitting, but adequate, #RaspberryPiZeroW “case”.

  2. #PiHole on #RaspberryPiZeroW experiment over. It worked, but it is just too SLOW. Not something I noticed when actually operating and blocking ads, but when it reboots. I don't want to wait like 2 mins between restarts and the OS activating PiHole. Plus, last night it died for some unknown reason. Maybe because it was overclocked or.. I don't know. Switching over to the Radxa Zero on Armbian 24.5.1 (#bookworm) for test number 2.

  3. Overclocked the #RaspberryPiZeroW and am now doing OS updates. Good god, I had forgotten how slow this damned thing is. But they say it works fine with #PiHole. Let's see. Let's just see about that.

    I have multiple #RaspberryPi 3B's knocking around here, 3 CPU cores more than this thing.

    Crowd: "Why not use one of those, Dhry?"

    Because brain tells me to use minimum viable solution so I can use those for other things.

    Crowd: "Or let them gather dust unused for four more years."

    Ayup.

  5. Vielleicht hilft die Erfahrung ja irgendwem früh genug:

    Wenn die Inbetriebnahme eines #RaspberryPiZeroW daran scheitert, dass man erst keinen male Micro USB-B auf female USB-A Adapter für eine Tastatur hat und der eine bestellte Adapter zu breit ist, so dass das andere male Micro USB-B Kabel für die power delivery gar nicht mehr simultan rein geht. 👍😅
    Weiterer Adapter in Kabelform, der dann endlich Aushilfe schafft, ist aber auch schon auf dem Weg.

  6. To-Test:
    1.) Check how it performs wiht pihole (or if i t can run pihole).

    My is fine but it does have slowdown points; I do kind of wish there was an easy way to cluster two to act as autobackups for each other. I should research that.

    2.) Check if the OS will let me mount a USB as a bin or sbin or use it hold bin/sbin programs and link them into bin/sbin.

    3.) See if there's a better OS or if the more recent BB Kernel updates are compatible with BB's.

  7. I'm thinking about getting 2-3 of these and using them with #RaspberryPIZeroW machines in the #van as a dashboard with more functionality than a standard dashboard can offer. I really love how circular these things are and that they are 2.1" touchscreen LCDs!

  8. really really hated Raspberry OS lite. I am noting this here so I remember and don't try that nonsense again.

    For the life of me, though, I can't work out why.

  9. Note: really is the perfect . And it's tiny.

    Install Raspberry Pi Lite OS; anything else is overkill. You do not need anything but terminal here.

    After a few test runs, I worked out a profile which turned out to be the very bare basics.. It's about an hour to do everything, but it only takes that long because sd cards are unholy slow and Zero only has one processor.

    Zero's name is Hecuba, joining Andromeda, Jocasta, and Eurydice among my Pis

  10. One year ago I assembled this #RaspBerryPiZeroW + Pimoroni #PirateAudio + USB dongle to listen SomaFM and audio files during DEFCON 28.
    But it’s also a great little compagnon as Linux computer with USB gadget mode 😎 and easy to plug without cable to a USB PowerBank 🤩
