Transmit-Only 100 MBit/s Ethernet Achieved on Raspberry Pi Pico via Bit-Banging
Steve’s bit-banged 100 MBit/s on the Pico is impressive, but it’s all about the voltage levels and encoding. Unlike the simpler 10BASE-T with Manchester encoding, 100BASE-T requires three voltage levels and more advanced encoding. It's a cool hack but obviously, transmit-only means there's still a l...

omg, I finally found the Stack Overflow post that fixes my weird 5-second delay when resolving DNS names on my Rasbian/Debian Raspberry Pis: https://serverfault.com/a/962742
I was becoming frantic trying to figure out how to explain what was going on. strace was clearly showing the stalled request.

Transmit-Only 100 MBit/s Ethernet Achieved on Raspberry Pi Pico via Bit-Banging
A developer named Steve has successfully implemented a bit-banged 100 MBit/s Fast Ethernet transmission on a Raspberry Pi Pico using the Pico-100BASE-TX library. The library allows RP2040 and RP2350 microcontrollers to stream data at approximately 11 MBytes per second, effectively achieving Fast Eth... [More info]

Install Cockpit on Debian 13 trixie
Cockpit provides an easy-to-use, web-based interface for administering Linux systems. It simplifies tasks such as monitoring logs, controlling system services, configuring networks, and managing virtual machines.
Cockpit has been described as a “useful and extensible tool to observe, manage, and troubleshoot Linux servers“.
Step 1
cockpit requires the use of the firewalld service to be able to make changes to your firewall rules.
If you are using ufw as a host-based firewall
Remove ufw before replacing it with firewalld.
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge --yes ufw
[sudo] password for yourusername:
Install firewalld as a host-based firewall
Install firewalld and maintain ssh access as well as enabling cockpit to receive incoming connections.
$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt-get install --show-progress --yes firewalld && systemctl enable --now firewalld.service && firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=ssh --permanent && firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=cockpit --permanent && firewall-cmd --reload && firewall-cmd --info-zone=public'Step 2
Proceed to install cockpit and selected add-on applications.
$ sudo apt-get install --show-progress --yes cockpit cockpit-bridge cockpit-machines cockpit-podman nullmailer ssh tuned-utilsStep 3
If you selected a wireless interface as the primary network interface for use during installation of the Debian system, you may need to re-establish connection to the wireless network after rebooting.
Enable NetworkManager for the primary network interface and reboot your system.
$ sudo sed -i 's/managed=false/managed=true/' /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf&&sudo sed -i '/# The primary network interface/,$d' /etc/network/interfaces && sudo rebootStep 4
Access the Cockpit web console on https://localhost:9090 by entering your username and password.
Step 5
By default, the Cockpit web console listens on port 9090 for connections. If you want to make changes from the default, use the following command to edit /etc/systemd/system/cockpit.socket.d/override.conf.
$ sudo systemctl edit cockpit.socketThe example below changes the web console port from 9090 to 9091 and restricts access to the localhost.
### Editing /etc/systemd/system/cockpit.socket.d/override.conf
### Anything between here and the comment below will become the new contents of the file
[Socket]
ListenStream=
ListenStream=127.0.0.1:9091
### Edits below this comment will be discarded
Use the following command for your changes to take effect.
$ sudo -- bash -c 'systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart cockpit.socket && systemctl status cockpit.socket'You can now access the Cockpit web console on https://localhost:9091.

@gunstick @EUCommission and, #RaspberryPi 5?
Its 5V 5A is quite out of the range of standard USB Power Delivery profiles - max 3A for 5V.

How much of my email, writing, reading, blogging, programming, etc… could I do on one?
I guess the limited RAM is going to be a problem? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I should try this out…

I had a perfectly good instance of MagicMirror2 running on a Raspberry Pi 3A+ and Firefox browser up until a few weeks ago. The SD card corrupted itself due to excessive swap (probably) and I had to rebuild the system. Now Firefox refuses to run with less than 1GB of RAM and even trying to VNC crashes the server. Now I have to dig up older versions of everything and then create a version-locked ISO just so I can keep using hardware that was perfectly cromulent in September. #MagicMirror #RaspberryPi #Firefox #Bloat

#nixOS on a #raspberrypi 5 to build a #NAS and #homeserver
Finally, I got my Raspberry Pi 5 running nixOS including a #btrfs partition on my SSD. I learned a lot about #linux dealing with this low level beasts. I'm wondering if it was a better idea going to solutions like #openmediavault or #unraid but on the other hand, now I can also setup my VPSs with nix and **maybe** I can also use this knowledge for my clients.
What are your thoughts my approach? What is your solution? Happy to hear from you!

Finally got around to replacing my small but expensive APC lead-acid based UPSs with one larger LiFePO4 self-built system. Has about 10 hours of capacity and the advantage of being able to take advantage of cheap electricity.
Cells and case from #fogstar, BMS from #JBD, Inverter/charger and battery monitor from #Victron and powered by a #raspberrypi running #venusOS.
