Making some headway on my #raspberrypi based star finder scope using #onshape to design the housing. It should have most of the functionality that I need, but I think the front end will still get some love, as will the grating that fits over the exhaust fan.

Needed a #raspberrypi case, didn't have one, made one!
Built a custom Raspberry Pi 4 RT OS using Buildroot.
Manually downloaded the Raspberry kernel (6.12.61) and PREEMPT_RT patch (6.12.57), applied locally and produced a bootable SD.
It works.
No GUI, CLI tools only, deterministic boot and real-time behavior.

I've been tinkering with booting Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from NVMe on my Pi 5, but had been running into a kernel panic that was really unintuitive to diagnose. Turns out, the Pi 5's EEPROM was old and updating to latest solved my issue.
#raspberrypi #pi5 #ubuntu #nvme
Anyone know of good lightweight Linux distros for #RaspberryPi?
Was trying to repurpose one of my Pies today...
The official Raspberry Pi OS runs some "cloud" services and has Raspberry Pi Connect installed by default.
Not enthusiastic to wait and see the next level of enshitiffication, so looked for an alternative.
Tried #DietPi. Very colourful, but doesn't install without an internet connection. Tweaked a little, made some progress, but then it doesn't even poweroff without LAN ðŸ«
What could result in a connection refused on raspberry pi zero 2w, installation done with imager 2.0.0. I enabled configured my user, I configured my ssh key, I see both on the card.
I have 2 partitions bootfs and rootfs, I tried to add the ssh file into rootfs/boot/firmware, rootfs/boot and bootfs/ but I can't connect via ssh. (connection refused, I am sure of the user and IP as see it on my router)
Also the HDMI never powers up :(
Do not give me ideas

#RaspberryPi Question. I'm getting errors about locale not available on clean fresh installs via RPImager on a RP4. Seems like it doesn't matter what install I do it is the same. 😟 Anyone a suggestion?
perl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_GB.UTF-8").
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
Creating config file /etc/php/8.4/mods-available/sockets.ini with new version
Got some time today and finished the initial setup of the Raspberry Pi 500+
It's running KDE Plasma 6.5.3 on Chimera Linux, Kernel Version 6.12.60-0-rpi
It always impresses me how much snapier Chimera feels on a Pi compared to Rapberry Pi OS (Debian Trixie)

"YouTuber and industrial designer Kevin Noki recently published a video outlining how he built a 1980s-style laptop that emulates Commodore 64 games."
