#RaspberryPi

It would also be a more flexible option not just for "dumb #terminals" like a VT320 or VT525, thus desireable for a lot of #legacy / #embedded setup and allow for integrating like a #serial #console into a "Managment LAN" (which should be #airgapped!)…

  • Also an #EthernetModem would really be a cost-effective option compared to proprietary solutions, espechally when one can make a #DINrail-mounted version.

So yeah, a #LAN232 / #Ethernet232 would be kinda cool, even if it's just a #PiZero 1.3 with a USB Serial & Ethernet Chip in a case.

I should consider this. I'm not sure of the state of my two Pi Zero Ws. One melted its case at one point, and that can't be good:

Is your company looking for a keen self-hoster with plenty of #Linux experience? I grew up with #RaspberryPi and have picked up many skills along the way including #React, backend JavaScript (#NodeJS) and #Docker. My current obsession is monitoring all the things with #Grafana, #PRTG and #Prometheus. I’m based in the UK but open to primarily English-speaking roles in Germany, too. Currently wrapping up my Advanced Software Development degree but eager to continue learning! Boosts appreciated :D

Lo primero de todo Mastodon a todes!

Me gustaría montarme un pequeño repositorio de código para hacer mis proyectitos y tonterías sin que acaben en una IA con una Raspberry que tengo en casa. En su día me pelee con ella para instalarle un SO pero no estoy seguro de si lo hice bien porque me suena que tuve bastantes problemas 😅 ( y no me acuerdo de nada de lo que hice, porque fue hace como 4 años)

Así que quería empezar a montarla de nuevo pero no tengo mucha idea de por dónde empezar. Gente que ya os habéis peleado con estos temas tenéis algún consejillo/tutorial/referencia con la que pueda ir tirando?

I revived an old HDD with a #RaspberryPi Zero W 2 for #DataRescue:ing:

It runs ...

(a) a Bittorrent client that seeds at-risk data sets from the #SciOp database
(b) the `sciop-scraper` script to get new datasets into the swarm

Setup instructions for the Pi Zero: codeberg.org/nicebread/HiveSee

Setup instructions for `sciop-scrape` (on macOS & RPi): codeberg.org/nicebread/HiveSee

Let me know if the instructions work for you; happy to collaborate on the manual.

In my warmup for #OldComputerChallenge 25, I dusted off ol' pal #RaspberryPi model B and burned #NetBSD 10 on an SD card to set it up.

It all went well (slow, but hey) but one thing that I still can't get around (that I didn't experience so much last time I tried it) is the console. Control chars get printed instead of arrow and home/end keys, no colors, etc. Hate to say it, but all in all, it feels backwards compared to a modern, full-fledged console environment of #FreeBSD or Linux. And it's starting to wear me out.

But I have a feeling that this is somehow my fault for not configuring the console properly or using the right output or something. I never had to deal with this before, so anybody knows how I can configure this so I can have a modern env in NetBSD?

12 Tage war #FreshRSS krank. Nun läuft es wieder, Gott sei Dank.

✅ #Restore mit #restic
✅ Havarierte InnoDB repariert und Datenbestand gerettet
✅ Containerlandschaft mit #nginx ProxyManager und aktueller #MariaDB via #Podman lokal
✅ Deployment auf 24x7 Server mit #RAID6

Nun fehlt noch das Upgrade von 1.19 auf die aktuelle Release. Habe das lange sträflich schludern lassen, aber in der aktuellen Containerlandschaft ist es auch leichter, alles sauber zu halten.

Jetzt hab' ich einen #RaspberryPi 1 über...

In unsurprising #snac on a #raspberrypi news. I am increasingly fed up of having to restart it when it crashes due to running out of memory. It happens quite often when I post and sometimes when I don’t. I think this is due to having more content on disk than when I first set it up.

I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…
