Another case design iteration for my DIY 7" tablet (Raspberry Pi 4 with official Touch Display 2).
I had trouble 3D printing the MK6 case, designed with internal channels for zip tie assembly. I suspect I needed retraction tweaks to 3D print it successfully.
Instead, I designed the MK7 case, which uses snap fit for assembly. I prototyped the snap fit mechanism a few months ago, but didn't follow through with a case design.
3D printing it now.
I don't generally track analytics on my website, but I have a toy #RaspberryPi set-up with an e-ink display that displays activity whenever I plug it in.
That tells me since being turned on this morning that my most popular post is still this one on using Arch Linux with Sway on a Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 laptop: https://rhys.wtf/posts/sway-and-arch-with-yoga
I'll be doing a similar follow-up soon when my #Framework12 arrives :)
@rakkar Hi James, I have no raspberry-pi to use but let's see.
If you have a Debian-based distribution, an
'apt search <name>'
Should give you a package with a brief description.
For my case, a Linux desktop: I never install from somewhere else as from repositories, and hardly ever from other repositories than the standard ones that come with the distribution.
An AI power-up for the Raspberry Pi 5.
The first self-hosted service I installed on my #RaspberryPi #homelab was #Navidrome. Just updated it via `dietpi-software reinstall 204`. It's my most used #selfhosted app. I really need to write a post on it....
Learning with a homemade model insulin pump https://ift.tt/i73WTwY #RaspberryPi (via Raspberry Pi)
Hello, because I need more complexity in my life (he doesn't), I've started setting up a #RaspberryPi as a media player on my TV. Which means I need to get a bit better at #linux, currently have never used it before.
I have a question about documentation and learning linux that maybe the fediverse can help with. When I need to add what the cool kids seem to call "A Repo" or perhaps "A Package", it will have a name like wf-panel-pi (true story, I'm being prompted to upgrade this right now).
I trust that I need to update this, and I'll do it, and I'd like to know a bit more about it so I can smugly tell other people what wf-panel-pi does. So I check the #gitHub page, and there's a readme file, cool.
The readme file has lots of content under headings like Install dependencies, Configure meson, Build, and Install. but nowhere does it say what the package actually does. I've had this experience multiple times, and I can see myself blundering into big crashes because I'm blindly installing packages without understanding them. The About section of the GitHub page reads as follows:
About
No description, website, or topics provided.
Am I going about teaching myself Linux the wrong way? Yes probably, I should do a proper intro course, and maybe I will have to. I was hoping to get by learning as I go, is that naïve of me? I don't want to understand Linux code in a technical sense, but more in a utility sense, what does this do and why do I need it?

...läuft ja im Grunde schon seit gut zwei Wochen - aber vieles nur "händisch".
Er läuft aber grundsätzlich so gut, dass ich glaube, dass es sich lohnt die Installation und Configuration auch für Dritte einfach zugänglich zu machen.
Klar, ich habe für mich ne fette Latte Scripts die mir dies und das vereinfachen...

Homelabs Just Got Sassier
Hi hi, it’s me—Sasha the Flamingo, resident homelab hacker and surveillance sorceress.
You know how most people build a humble little lab with a router and maybe a VM or two?
Well. I may have gone full flamboyance with it.
I just added not one, but TWO AI-powered nodes to my homelab talk, and let me tell you—they’re fabulous:
SashaCam 5000 – A Raspberry Pi 5 with night vision, a Hailo-8 AI hat, and a USB camera that detects intruders and cats in real time. It logs, it snapshots, it even side-eyes suspicious activity at 2am.
FlamingoSec IDS+LLM Rig – Another Pi 5 with NVMe SSDs and a Coral USB accelerator running Suricata, forwarding logs to Wazuh, and summarizing alerts with a local LLM. It’s like having a tiny SOC that never sleeps… but in hot pink.
No cloud. No license fees. Just open source, smart birds, and slightly overcaffeinated engineering.
Adding both of these to my homelab presentation to show that you don’t need a rack of servers to build something powerful, weird, and downright useful.
Stay tuned. Things are about to get very… feathered.

Der #piSpot :

Ich hatte dran gedacht, dass es wie PissPot - gelesen werden kann... und in NL auch wirklich PisPot heißt. Aber ne Suche nach dem Begriff...
Siehe Bild... als gut zu suchender Markenname ist piSpot völlig verbrannt...
Also ab sofort
Beides macht Sinn. letsDiesUndDas heißen 90% meiner tools.

I wrote a simple gpioctl wrapper with Python in NetBSD RPi configurations. This wrapper cannot change the pin mode. Please configure manually in /etc/gpio.conf
the wrapper:

config in gpio.conf:
https://github.com/catskillmarina/netbsd-gpio-doc
I don't see the point of #SBC #computeModules when the #carrierBoards are almost never fully compatible with any two modules.
There should be a #carrierBoard standard so we can upgrade the CPU and Ram regardless of manufacturer or architecture.

Finally managed to make an external USB disk survive a reboot, with FreeBSD and ZFS on a Raspberry Pi.
Add the following to /boot/loader.conf:

kern.cam.boot_delay="20000"
vfs.root_mount_always_wait=1

EndBOX prototypes are compact, Raspberry Pi-powered computers with small displays and a netBSD-based operating system that boots directly to an EndBASIC shell so the first thing you see is a command line programming language. https://www.endbasic.dev/2025/06/unveiling-the-endbox.html #EndBOX #RaspberryPi #RetroComputer #EndBASIC
