  1. I think I may have to abandon Raspberry Pi as the platform for my little home media center project.

    At this point I've tried two Raspberry Pis, swapped out the power supply for a better one, and swapped out the KVM switch for a powered one. I cannot get the PiOS to recognize the HDMI output as a viable audio output target. It can see the card, it can see it has audio hardware, but it only allows for headphone jack as an output target and I can't compel it to believe otherwise. Googling suggests I'm failing an EDID handshake, but the Chromecast attached to the same KVM navigates this issue with aplomb, so...

    Feels bad solving what is clearly a software problem via hardware, but if anyone has a recommendation for a low-power Linux box that will do Wifi and proper HDMI-out-including-audio to a TV, that's really all I need.

  2. @ivan i've been having a discussion about this across nixos-hardware and nixos-on-arm matrix channels.
    The bottom line is, as long as we're not talking about the pi5, nixos should work without the additional nixos-hardware stuff. You only need a vendored kernel as long as it has stuff that hasnt been mainlined yet.

  3. Thinking about setting up a home #borg server on an unused #RaspberyPi 4.

    Questions for the #HiveMind:

    • How much RAM does a borg server need to manage about 3TB of backups?
    • How big of a USB disk do I need for the / partition for RasbperryPi OS with no GUI?
    • Does borg deduplicate files between users' backups, or only within a single user's backups?

  11. Умный дом. Как соединить разные технологии? Реальный опыт

    Умным домом в наше время уже никого не удивишь, а если говорить об элементах умного дома, то они распространены практически повсеместно, а новые экосистемы появляются с завидной регулярностью. И тут встает вопрос, а как быть обычному рядовому пользователю? Покупать оборудование и быть привязанным к конкретной экосистеме? А если случилось так, что используются элементы нескольких разных производителей/экосистем? Куча приложений в смартфоне для управления всем этим хозяйством выглядит удручающее. Перспектива, при отключении интернета, остаться без управления или вообще неожиданно получить в своем хозяйстве неработающее устройство, которое по каким-то причинам перестали поддерживать в новой версии экосистемы, удручает еще больше. А это я еще не касаюсь вопросов безопасности.

  15. 10 best operating systems for Raspberry Pi 5 —  Good ideas of what to use a Pi for, too!

    Over the years, Raspberry Pi boards have taken over the DIY projects landscape and have become synonymous with the term SBC. But despite their standalone nature, you'll still need an operating system to drive every mainline entry in the Raspberry Pi family.

    Fortunately, you have a lot to choose from, as these tiny boards are compatible with a host of operating systems.

    Most of the operating systems listed, are also great examples of what you can sue a Pi for, e.g. home automation, video streaming, emulators, Lineage OS, private cloud service, network router, and more.

    Many may say a Pi is for example not ideal for home automation, and it may not be, but for many the bug bit them after starting a  project on a  Raspberry Pi and then later migrating it to something more powerful.

  16. Good news: I updated my inventory on the #tindie store. #HestiaPi thermostats in stock!

    Bad news: #RaspberyPi Zero 2 W boards are not available in the US, and the international stores generally have higher prices, higher taxes (VAT), and more expensive shipping.

    I'm going to wait and see if they become available before my current supply is completely sold out.

    I thought these days were behind us when I saw stores inventories replenished and purchase limits lifted a while back.

  17. Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Launches with Arm + Risc V Cores: hands-on with the new, $5 microcontroller | Tom's Hardware tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi/

    «According to Raspberry Pi, the RISC-V CPU is available via C, but not via MicroPython. We only had a limited amount of time to write this hands-on so we have yet to properly test the Pico SDK with C».

    Is it possible to fit 16x16 font glyphs into a TV head?

    As soon as I saw that these existed I knew it was something I had to try with my extension of GNU Unifont (called UnifontEX), which even has emoji. Unifont and UnifontEX are both 8x16 for anything that can reasonably fit, and 16x16 for anything that can't. I know that people have gone to 15x18 or 15x20, but some glyphs do truly require the full 16x16 cell size, so 16x18 or 16x18 would have to be the case. I'm of course wanting Unicode support (including characters above Plane 0, of which there are
    many in the font), so that means I'd likely need a Raspberry Pi. I'm also curious which of the formats at http://stgiga.github.io/UnifontEX/ would be best. There are a lot to choose from, including ones that were never offered by upstream Unifont.

    I for the past while and especially recently had wanted to wear UnifontEX glyph displays either on my shirt or then a hat, so I could speak my more passionate topics without having to worry about voice level causing me problems.

    I also had for the past week felt like I wanted to, if I gave a tech talk or ever appeared in a video, to never show my face and instead hide in a fursuit head, but if I trick one of
    these out with cat ears, then that would do. The Raspberry Pi could theoretically let me use it as a MIDI player, obviously at safe volumes.

    Like, this TV head is something I'd actually want to do, and I'd sorta been thinking about adjacent topics recently. As an Earthbound reference, I would name mine "Lumine", after Lumine Hall from Earthbound. I'd go for a green shell for them and I'd predominantly use green or RGB colors for the text.

    Interesting idea: put fursuit fur (or scales if you are a scalie) onto a TV head.

    Fursuit head or TV head?
    "Why not both?"

    Obviously this will all be several years in the future due to my current state of nonemployment. Nonetheless I'm still curious. Also, if any of these ideas are inspirational, I give full permission to use them. Same for the font. I really don't care too much about what people do with my content.

    In other news: UnifontEX got used in the game Gem Frenzy (
    https://theyippies.itch.io/gem-frenzy), and I got credited in the Itch.io game description.

    Also my birthday is at the end of the month.

  20. Añadiendo una pantalla táctil de 4.3" a una #raspberypi 4.

    La idea es no cargar con el portátil para dar charlas.

    Ubuntu la soporta sin configurar nada y aguanta la pantalla táctil por DSI más los dos conectores microHDMI.

  21. A serial console allows you to see the boot logs even before the Linux kernel has started booting! Therefore, a serial console attached to your Raspberry Pi can help you find causes of problems like the following:

    * A new Linux distribution that you flashed on your Raspberry Pi does not boot.
    * Your Raspberry Pi boots into an older kernel even though you installed a newer kernel provided by your distribution maintainer via apt/pacman/dnf.
    * You installed a new kernel using apt/pacman/dnf but now the Ethernet port does not work and you can't SSH into it to uninstall that kernel.
    * Your Raspberry Pi does not boot at all.
    * You are learning kernel development and want to see why the change that you made is preventing the kernel from booting.
    * You have so many Raspberry Pis that you have run out of displays to connect to and just want to watch the boot logs to sanity check if they are booting correctly or not.

    I actually already have one of these USB serial adaptors that I'd been using to flash Tasmota software onto my Sonoff WiFi power switches.

    A UART attached to your Raspberry Pi can help you troubleshoot issues with your Raspberry Pi. Here's what you need to know.

  22. /me was punished for forgetting to install log2ram on my #pihole. SD card corruption sucks.
    However, the SD card went into read-only mode. So a restore was as easy as making a clone of the failed SD card onto a new one.

  24. New toy. #raspberypi 4. Will replace the old one I've been running since 2014.

  25. Making progress. Wifi shield and relay are soldered and connected. Wifi is connecting on the Arduino and the relay is running through the test I programmed. Next up getting it to connect to my MQTT server and more testing.

  26. I'm going to post a new #introduction sense there's been a big influx of new users.

    I'm the admin of this small instance, I created it for fun and to also learn how all of this works. The instance has been up for a year now, I have been on the fediverse for about 3 years off and on.

    One big reason I like being on the fediverse is no one I know in real life is here, or at least that I know of. My real life is often vastly different than what it is on here.

    None of my friends have the same interests in tech, infosec, programming or anything of that nature. That's one reason I like being on the fediverse, it was easy to find and follow people with the same interests. (Same reason I was on Twitter)

    You shouldn't take what I say on here to seriously, often I'm just having a bit of fun or just being sarcastic.

    My interests are #tech #infosec #python #RaspberyPi #motorcycles #photography and many more things 😃

  27. Starting a third night of capture on M81 & M82. Trying to get the most of these rare moments without clouds or moon glow.

    Check out the toots on the #RaspberyPi hashtag. A lot of people are up in arms.

  30. What news did I miss about #raspberypi ?

  31. @slightlyflightyone

    May I add that #DietPi is a great OS to get set up quickly on most of these ⬆️ platforms (and many others) with one-click installs for tons of popular software.

    Their list of software includes: @homeassistant, @Kodi, @octoprint, @nodered, #Pihole, #WordPress and tons more.

    dietpi.com/

    NB: I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a very happy user.

    Also, I haven't tried any of the above hardware yet, as I used to be a #RaspberyPi fanboy until recently.
