Trevor Flowers<p>If you're frustrated by your Raspberry Pi 5's picky power preferences (exactly USB-C PD negotiated 5V at 5A) then this tutorial might be helpful.<br>The video also has this helpful frame:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PddIeZP-wgw" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=PddIeZP-wg</span><span class="invisible">w</span></a><br><a href="https://machines.social/tags/raspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raspberryPi</span></a> <a href="https://machines.social/tags/RPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RPi</span></a></p>
Chris Hanson<p>Anyone know someone at the Raspberry Pi Foundation? It seems like they would want to support getting their stuff well-supported in QEMU, and maybe also add things like the Pico 2W to it. (Also maybe SparkFun, AdaFruit, etc.)</p><p>The response to my feature request seems less than enthusiastic: <a href="https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/work_items/3125" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-</span><span class="invisible">/work_items/3125</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embeddedsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embeddedsystems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raspberrypi</span></a></p>

Is that really so much to ask?<br>/1</p>

Daniel Quinn<p>To the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> crowd: what's the best/easiest option these days if you want to run your own instance *exclusively for yourself*? I gave up when faced with the substantial requirements for running vanilla Mastodon and am limited by the resources available to my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raspberrypi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kubernetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kubernetes</span></a> cluster (k3s).</p><p>Ideally I'm looking for something that needs no more than Postgres/Redis. If the solution requires multiple instances, tonnes of RAM, or ElasticSearch, it's more than I wanna maintain.</p>

JimmyChezPants 🇨🇦<p>Hey <a href="https://growers.social/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> <a href="https://growers.social/tags/HifiBerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HifiBerry</span></a> </p><p>Is there anyone else here who has run <a href="https://growers.social/tags/Upmpdcli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Upmpdcli</span></a> as a music player, and made songcast (synchronous music player for multiple devices, non-Free) work?</p><p>Overall I'm pretty happy with it, even without songcast, as the Renderers are solid and remember your playlist - it's quite nicely done. But I really want that whole-house-and-garage audio.</p><p>I have managed to sort of get a songcast session going (the control point android app, BubbleDS, requires you to pay to keep it going more than 15 mins, but if it works, I don't mind). But I cannot seem to make it come out the speakers anywhere.</p><p>If anyone wants to mess around with this and needs a bit of help with compiling and building or setting up the apt repository, I can give a hand getting your Pi up and running, if you can maybe help me figure out songcast. Hit me up.</p>
Victoria (K8VSY) (she/her)<p>It's working very well!</p><p>I might need to find a better way to keep it cool, but in the mean time, this isn't too bad.</p><p>Overall, this setup and hardware are awesome.
