Some of my recent #RaspberryPi #electronicsrepair observations:
1) more often than not BCM54213PEB1KMLG ethernet controller turns out to be bad even if measurements on the surrounding caps seem fine
2) same goes for the CPUs on Raspberry Pi 4 model B - impedance on the inductors around the PMIC may seem ok, but then CPU would simply either turn out to be brain dead, overheat or, for example, USB ports won't work, though Pi would boot fine.
And replacing VL805 won't help.

Hmpf... #OpenClaw läuft nicht auf meinem #Pilama mit lokalem LLM. Dafür hat der Raspi5 leider zu wenig RAM. Selbst bei sehr kleinen Modellen will er minimu 16 GB RAM und der Raspi hat "nur" 8.
Da muss ich mir wohl was anderes einfallen lassen 😐
Am besten ich kaufe mir einen extra PC dafür. Hardware kostet ja gerade fast nix 😭

I used to make weird cool stuff; what happened? This was 12 years ago... just for me, but still cool. https://github.com/smartperson/android-usb-pi #android #raspberrypi #audio #github

Systemd has features and plans for everything such a raspberry pi firmware could possibly need, but there is no image/distribution I know of that uses all those features (and nothing else). #systemd #raspberrypi

What I'm looking for: A minimal immutable Raspberry Pi image that contains kernel & systemd and a robust a/b updater (systemd-sysupdate?). Plus the ability to persist systemd-sysext extensions. Nothing else.
That's it. Everything else i can add using sysext.
I guess I have to build this myself? Closest I can find is fedora coreos/iot and flatcar linux, but that's much too complicated for what I want.

IT Horror Stories with Jack Smith episode 11 is here, providing you with an actual real world example of why you should not run any systems that are important for your operational uptime on a hobby computer intended to teach kids PHP. And we even tell you what goes down when you do. (spoiler alert : everything)

Then the CyberBrick, a neat #RaspberryPi Zero 2W and M5Stack Cardputer-Adv portable terminal with a custom-built metal housing...
...and that display (actually the deck itself) isn't connected to the keyboard (the Cardputer) - you can separate the two and they'll work just fine anyway.

I'm looking for a way to filter incoming mail without having to set up my own mail server - the idea is to have something like a headless mail client running on a Raspberry Pi, accessing my inboxes via IMAP and doing the filtering before they are accessed by my actual clients running on various devices.
I see this sort of question being asked for more than a decade, but no proper solutions seem to exist. Or do they?

I’m shouting into the void here but I’m really curious on who would be interested in free #iceshrimpnet hosting on OP5+ (basically #raspberrypi but more powerful) servers.
You’d need to provide the domain, which would remain in your control. I’d take care of the actual hosting.

Yesterday, I stumbled upon an oldish Raspberry Pi (v1 B+) at home.
I setup a pi-hole on it (https://pi-hole.net/) and re-configured the home network.
OMG, ~20h later, 17% of the home outgoing requests were (silently) blocked ! No noticeable changes for us.
I really should have done this earlier.

@rpimag Nat and I demonstrated the cloud chamber project at the #RaspberryPi birthday party in Cambridge on Saturday. We had lots of great conversations over it with visitors to Makespace. #MakerMonday
