I have a load of older model #RaspberryPi that I no longer need.

Would hate to see them go to waste. So does anybody in the UK need Pi 1, Pi 2. Zero 1's?

I know I could list them on #eBay and make a quid or two - but the hassle? Unless I do a goody box filled with misc components and Misc pis.

I just have more than I need and I know I am not going to use them any more!

Lilbits: Google to block sideloading of apps from unverified developers

One of the things that has long set Android apart from iOS is that Android makes it fairly easy to install apps from sources other than Google’s official app store, providing users and developers with the opportunity to install apps that might not otherwise be available.  Apple, meanwhile, has offered more of a walled-garden approach that it says leads to better security and an improved user […]

Can't I just directly connect one of those PC 8-bit speakers that can just go "beep" to GPIO pins on an SBC? Every search I do on this leads me to people wanting to use proper speakers, being told they need an amplifier etc.

I just want to make my OrangePi go beep. ._.

Ich habe ein 15 Jahre altes Samsung Tablet erfolgreich als webcam (offline) wieder in Betrieb genommen. :-)
Ich nutze adb, ffmpeg, imagemagick, ein paar bash scripte sowie einen simplen cronjob und nen #raspi dafür.

Taking Back Control: My Journey into Self-Hosting with Raspberry Pi
I am using Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 to self-host my blog, social media, and cloud storage. Here is why digital sovereignty matters, and how you can start your own self-hosti

I'd quite like this case, but it seems it's only available from

- The Pi Hut (link below), where I'll have to mess around with post-Brexit toll and customs nonsense;
- Amazon US (urgh).

It appears to be out of stock everywhere else.

If you

- own one and wish to part with it, or
- can recommend a reseller in the EU that I've missed that has it in stock, or
- recommend a similar product available within the EU,

I'd love to hear from you!

Arrivata DietPi 9.16. Questa nuova versione porta il supporto per #Debian Trixie ( e per #Forky), rendendo l'OS ancora più leggero e veloce. Ottimizzazioni per #Raspberry Pi e numerosi bug fix! #DietPi #Linux #RaspberryPi

What might look boring to you, is an absolute joy for me (However, I also reveal how little I understand about Linux still):

#midiTracker now always starts on boot and loads the last session.

Pi Port Protection PCB https://hackaday.com/2025/08/25/pi-port-protection-pcb/ #RaspberryPi (via Raspberry Pi – Hackaday)

This is the full boot process of the #RaspberryPi with Raspberry Pi OS Light. It starts the #Previous emulator in kiosk mode and jumps directly into #NeXTSTEP.

Linux boot time is about 6-7 seconds, the rest (about 1:15m) is NeXTSTEP.

Just ignore the guy in front of the monitor.

So, I think I'm done with the guide for installing #Previous on a #RaspberryPi (5). If you like, you are welcome to run through it and give me feedback on any errors or inconsistencies. I played through the process myself using this documentation and it worked for me. But that doesn't have to mean anything! Because there are a lot of things I might have taken for granted that I hadn't thought of.

I look forward to your feedback!

Edge Cloud made easy: #opennebula in a #raspberrypi

This whole virtual environment thing for #Python on #RaspberryPi is an atrocity.

If the OS uses Python, and it would be disastrous for me to load a library that was not liked by the OS, then Linux provides ways to protect itself, which the people putting the distribution together could have used.

Making me set up these fragile, clumsy "venv" things, in an obscure, overcomplicated way was lazy of the distribution developers.

I've been planning to migrate my #selfhosting #server to a new machine. It's been running on a small and fragile ARM-based computing solution, which travels alongside me and is mounted to the ceiling when I'm stationary. Currently, it's basically surviving on 2GB RAM with an aggressive zram configuration, and random outages occasionally corrupt the system. To scale up, I'm stuck between grabbing a #raspberrypi 5 (16/8GB) and an x86 #minipc with 16+GB RAM, i.e. bw portability and performance.
