Hey #raspberrypi folks I need to access the partitions on a Compute Module 5. I've used rpiboot on both MacOS and CachyOS, multiple different USB cables and I can't get it to appear as a usb device. I can't get it into a state where I can re-flash it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm giving away wisdom :)
A regular microSD card is a consumable item for the #RaspberryPi (and similar devices) if you frequently write to the disk.
The disk may die in 3 months. Endurance microSD last more than 3 years. But still, make #backups.

@howard @xenodium There is also #mpd, easy to set up on #raspberrypi and with a client in #emacs .

Managed to power off my Raspi4 by pulling the wrong cable.
Well, no big deal, right?

Yeah, well.. Raspi4 is up again, suddenly my monitoring alerts me. "Raspi4 down"

Huh?

Turns out, the #DHCP reservation in my #Fritzbox wasn't set for this #RaspberryPi.

TIL: My Fritzbox ignores the preferred IP setting my #Raspberry sends along with the DHCP-Request.

*sigh*

Another thing to figure out.

Teure Himbeeren! 😑 Die beliebten Einplatinencomputer werden deutlich teurer. Der Grund für die Preiserhöhung liegt in den gestiegenen Kosten für den aufgelöteten Arbeitsspeicher.

Ich habe jetzt eine SSD in meinem Hackberry Pi dazu noch einen Raspberry Pi 3 mit RasPwnOS und schon habe ich ein kleines mobiles Hackinglab. Klar nicht vergleichbar mit einem Server und einem Haufen VMs, aber schon nett.

Für den Hackberry Pi nutze ich das CM5 Modul mit 8 GB, damit Burpsuite problemlos läuft.

Today I noticed that #qbittorrent on my #RaspberryPi 5 inflates to taking 6-7 GB of #RAM in just a few hours after Pi or service restart. Wild.

Gets wilder - it started to use swap file which shortens the lifespan of rapidly expensifying NVME drive 🤦‍♂️.

Had do disable swap via
sudo swapoff -a

and also

sudo systemctl edit qbittorrent-nox

and put this into the service section of the file:
[Service]
MemoryMax=1500M
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

I wonder if some update is coming to fix this?...

Once added, it’s selectable from the top model dropdown.

Wach. Aufgewühlt. Kein Schlaf in Sicht. Heute ist ein Raspberry Pi angekommen. Erste Schritte damit gewagt. Mehrere BetriebsSysteme ausprobiert. Erstmal nur zum Schauen, ob und wie es funktioniert.

Fazit: Ein süßes kleines Stück Elektronik mit dem sich vieles anfangen lässt. Erst recht wenn mehrere BetriebsSysteme auf verschiedenen MicroSD-Karten bereit liegen können für diverse EinsatzZwecke.

Andererseits nervlich wieder in die Überforderung gerauscht. Gar nicht gut.

Hoffentlich lassen sich später Backups erstellen von fertig eingerichteten Systemen. Das nimmt eine Menge Druck raus dann weil langfristig erheblich weniger Aufwand.

Mal schauen wie intensiv mit dem Teil gearbeitet werden kann.

"The most expensive Pi yet - 'unprecedented rise' in RAM pushes Raspberry Pi prices to their highest level ever, pushing it out of reach of schools and kids"

"Raspberry Pi prices climb again as AI-driven memory shortages raise costs, reducing access for students, schools, and hobbyists."

This will certainly make me think twice about cheap knock offs. It’s also very good information on what to look for in an onboard usb interface (ground plane, termination), buck converter(minimum voltage), and what to avoid.
