Well, now going to nextclouding my RPI and maybe snaping one on a PC . #Nextcloud #RPI

Hat jemand Tipps für ip cams zur Verbindung via wifi mit einem raspberry pi?

Hab vor ner Stunde mit dem googeln angefangen, inzwischen fünf Foren und diverse Threads offen und bin wenig schlauer als "ESP32".

Lately I've been doing more #SelfHosting again due to the current situation. Of course, I'm paying particular attention to power consumption and noise. After good experiences with the #ARM64 architecture, even with power-hungry applications such as Mastodon, I'm now using the smartphone technology for my homeservers, too.

There are #SBCs with more open hardware, but the #RaspberryPi is widely available, well documented, powerful and inexpensive. And it is available with up to 16 GB of RAM.

Anyone operating a server on the Internet must install #security updates quickly. However, many people forget to restart running software so that the new version runs instead of the old one. The #needrestart tool helps with this on Debian-based Linux systems, which unfortunately is usually not pre-installed.

On my Raspberry Pi 4, needrestart always runs correctly (automatically after apt upgrade). On my Raspberry Pi 5, however, I first had to create a configuration file as described by the main developer here:
https://github.com/liske/needrestart/blob/master/README.raspberry.md
Previously, the tool always claimed that a reboot was necessary because it thought an outdated Linux kernel was running.

Next, I want to activate #LUKS hard drive encryption on both raspis. Unfortunately, this is not as easy under #Raspbian or #RaspberryPiOS as on other Debian systems. If you have managed this: Please let me know how you did it!

In letzter Zeit mache ich aus gegebenem Anlass wieder mehr #SelfHosting. Natürlich achte ich dabei besonders auf den Stromverbrauch. Nach guten Erfahrungen mit der #ARM64-Architektur selbst bei leistungshungrigen Anwendungen wie Mastodon setze ich jetzt auch zuhause auf auf die aus Smartphones bekannte Technologie.

Es gibt zwar #SBCs mit offenerer Hardware, aber der #RaspberryPi ist überall erhältlich, gut dokumentiert, leistungsfähig und preiswert. Und es gibt ihn mit bis zu 16 GB RAM.

Wer einen Server am Internet betreibt, muss zügig #Sicherheitsupdates einspielen. Viele vergessen aber, laufende Software neuzustarten, damit die neue Version läuft statt der alten. Dabei hilft auf debianbasierten Linux-Systemen das Tool #needrestart, das leider meist nicht vorinstalliert ist.

Auf meinem Raspberry Pi 4 läuft needrestart schon immer korrekt (automatisch nach apt upgrade). Auf meinem Raspberry Pi 5 musste ich aber erst eine Konfigurationsdatei anlegen, wie es der Hauptentwickler hier beschreibt:
https://github.com/liske/needrestart/blob/master/README.raspberry.md
Bis dahin behauptete das Tool immer, dass ein reboot nötig sei, weil ein veralteter Linux-Kernel laufe.

Als nächstes will ich auf beiden Raspis die Festplattenverschlüsselung aktivieren. Das ist unter #Raspbian bzw. #RaspberryPiOS leider nicht so einfach wie auf anderen Debian-Systemen. Wenn ihr das geschafft habt: Schreibt gern eure Tipps!

Next lark: pikvm.org
Need to dig out an rPi 4 and try PiKVM.org's KVM solution. Wondering if I can make what they did work on a NanoPC T6 LTS (that I have) because it has HDMI-IN that seems to work accordintg to V4L. It might be very useful. Anyone know of any other solutions? #KVM #rPi #pikvm

#TIL: #RaspberryPi5 doesn't support #WakeOnLAN

So how am I supposed to reduce power consumption when not using our #LibreELEC setup on #RPi?

I do have Shelly Plug S available but I guess that I'd need a remote shutdown command before turning off power. Furthermore: how do I enable auto-boot when power resumes?

Any ideas?

It is amazing to see how good software does the job and stays out of your way. Example of this is #PiHole that is for years now running on tiny #RPi 3A+ without any problems and serving all clients in my network.

I just received a ClumsyMIDI Pi Hat I've setup with a Raspberry Pi 3 and the MT32-Pi software, to use with my Atari 520ST. Giving Ultima IV a listen.

$49 from Tindie. Good so far!

I just bought a lifetime #plex pass, after trying it for 6 months or so. I only use it for #plexamp to stream #music #flac from my #synology #nas to my #linux laptop, #rpi with #allo #boss2 #dac and #android phone. I also created an account for my almost 80-year-old father so he can join my server and library.

I came from #roon which I enjoyed a lot, but due to different reasons I made the switch. Plexamp provides such a seamless experience, I really can't wish for more. Keep up the good work!

It's about time…

I see a number of recent Roland MT-32 clone projects out there, built using Raspberry Pi and the like. I don't see any that are being sold, pre-assembled.

The BulkyMIDI-32 looks great, but I don't think it's being sold, assembled.

If such things are on offer, can someone point me to a decent unit?

To people who use #HomeAssistant, do you need #NodeRed to get the most out of it? Found this guide to setting up HomeAssistant in #Docker that helped me get both installed, but Node-Red's interface is pretty much unusable with a #ScreenReader, and I'm thinking of uninstalling it.

Just physically moved my #Raspberry #Pi from #Singapore to #Belgium — it's my #Mastodon server ;)

Back online it is!

Going to spend a few years here now, until I'm sick of Belgium again.

I think it is cool to get access these tech to tinker with it; great to learn hardware dev in a relatively safe and -documented- environment.. Be careful tho with vision projects, there are laws in Europe, and/or neighbors may not be happy to have a hobbyst surveillance camera pointing at their garden (some people do that and others complain on social media...)
