I reinstalled Code Server on a raspberrry pi again. Best IDE for non-Mac stuff that I’ve found, that works on an iPad. And it’s not M$$.
#raspberrypi #ide #programming #server
Replacing my #raspberrypi 4B server with a #thinkcentre m93p.
The #thinkcentre has more ram, a 512 GB #sdd and can handle external drives far better than the #raspberry does.
Finally, also lucky to get rid of #rasberrypios in favor of #debian and #arm in favor of #amd64 .
I think I will first migrate #apache2 with #nextcloud, and then the E-Mail server (#postfix & #dovecot) in a second step.
The latter is probably more difficult.
Now on #trixie. The raspberry still runs a 32bit version of the raspberrypios, so a new installation was necessary sooner or later, anyway.
Took this as the occasion to also replace the hardware with something better.

Content warning:Mildly rant about computer prices
A used office pc is now cheaper than a raspberry pi, and has better performance too.
And that because some lunatics want to fill a lot of datacenters to create brainrot and slop

Grafana-Ablösung – Monitoring in Home Assistant
Seit über sechs Jahren ist das Monitoring ein fester Bestandteil meines Setups. Doch was 2020 als State-of-the-Art galt, fühlte sich Anfang 2026 zunehmend nach unnötigem Ballast an. In diesem Beitrag nehme ich dich mit auf meine Reise weg von der komplexen Kombination aus Telegraf, InfluxDB und Grafana, hin zu einer schlanken, effizienten Lösung direkt in Home Assistant. Ich zeige dir, wie ich meinen vServer bei Hetzner und meinen lokalen Raspberry Pi überwache, ohne unnötige Docker-Container zu füttern.

Native interop has long been a bottleneck for #Java in #IoT. The FFM #API changes that. @FrankDelporte explains how #Pi4J reduces dependencies, improves compatibility, and simplifies hardware access.

3D-printed nearly all the lattices¹ making the pixels look more "square", looking nice ! Now we still need to get the sound working, we did manage to get the #raspberrypi to play some sound, but #pico8 running in an X11 virtual framebuffer doesn't produce any sound, which we will still have to investigate...
installing #openclaw on #raspberrypi https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/raspberry-pi

setting up #openclaw on #raspberrypi today. Pleasantly surprised by how far Raspberry Pi Imager has come. Headless setup on Raspberry Pi used to mean wrestling with wpa_supplicant.conf & hoping it worked. Now it’s clean, predictable, and just works https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ #AI
