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.

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

We've been dreaming about hardware hacking for a few years and have finally gotten together the pieces we need. With lots of research, waiting, soldering, and fussing with APIs, Ben, Karlie, and Andy put together about twenty of these gadgets over the course of a few months. These are powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico with a Pico Display on top — just 2in long and 1in wide! We did a dry run making weather displays in the studio yesterday, then got the students set up with them at Ben’s MIT information design class today. We had so much fun playing with these and can't wait to tinker again!

Today, on my #raspberrypi I uninstalled Raspberry Pi OS Lite, tried 2 hours to install #Alpine because I heard it uses less RAM, and then reinstalled Raspberry Pi OS Lite because I always got weird errors when trying to install something on Alpine.
Productive day

Oh sure, let's all pretend it's 1996 again and set up a dial-up ISP with a Raspberry Pi in 2026 🙄. Because nothing says cutting-edge technology like paying homage to the golden era of 56K modems and screaming phone lines 📞🔊. Next up: how to use a Commodore 64 to stream TikToks, because we're all about #innovation here! 💾🚀

We are trying out the "Age of Mending" Luanti game today. An interesting and engaging game that is described by the maintainer as being an alpha release.
An unusual feature is that characters are three blocks high. So the interior of all spaces have to be at least three blocks high.
I am hosting tonight's game on this RPi 5 and the game loads and runs very fast with three clients connected and playing. Even with special graphics effects turned on.
Nice!

The #Z80 #cpu is no longer produced since 2024, what to do if you need to replace a broken one? The picoZ80 is a drop-in replacement based on the RP2350 #microcontroller
Soon to be released.

Oh.
Ich fand ja im Dezember die knapp 230€ für den Raspberry Pi 500+ (kompletter Computer, also incl. guter Tastatur, Maus, Ladegerät, nur kein Bildschirm) ziemlich teuer für so ein kleines Ding.
Reichelt hat ihn jetzt für 494,30 €.
Ups.
