I removed all my #Raspberrypi from my network and #NixOS configuration.
Main reason was that I needed to reduce my side projects a bit.
The raspi's were a nice experiment but I just needed to reduce my workload a bit and their hardware and architecture don't help to make t…

Every time I set up Raspberry Pi OS, I fill out the wifi, country settings etc in Raspberry Pi Imager thinking that surely they must have made it work this time. And every time, I end up filling it all in again once the OS boots. Sigh. #raspberrypi

As I age, I become increasingly cautious about my #privacy. The slope the world is sliding on is also a big, unfortunate incentive. I have been eying #PiHole for some time: in this post, I want to explain what it does, how to install it on a

Today I'm paying with Risc OS on an old Raspberry Pi.
I wish modern desktops had paper like textured windows, a common title bar theme, and proper scroll bars.
Everything's so plain and bland nowadays.

Today my wife texted me saying she thought a harddrive was going bonkers. Turns out it was the Pi 5 official fan running a bit unevenly and providing lots of resonance on a wooden table. Since it is mounted below the nvme, and I haven’t had the patience or energy to take it apart, I’m wondering if anyone has had the problem and successfully stopped the fan noise? It really hasn’t been used for very long. #RaspberryPi

I just set up a hardware watchdog on YunoHost to monitor my connectivity using the watchdog systemd service. If I can't ping 8.8.8.8 for 30 minutes, it'll trigger a reboot.
I've been having issues where my RPi4 server suddenly lost the internet connection... I disabled EEE, which hopefully fixed that, but having some extra security like this probably won't hurt.
