#rPi4

2025-12-11

Apparently the python lib I've been converting to #rust for a #rpi4 motor hat, has been using software pwm. And bcm numbering. Now I have to investigate if rppal is even the right library for the job.

I was not expecting the pico breakout board to be the easy one to offer as a predefined config.

Success! 🎉 Just finished building a custom Linux OS for my Raspberry Pi 4 using (raspberrypi4_64_defconfig).

SSH access is fully configured, network is up, and I'm connected remotely! This minimalist embedded system is flying. Time to start the real customization. 🚀

Bon ben le #raspberrypi 3 supporte pas trop #Gqrx 😟
Le CPU sature.
Faudra trouver une autre utilité à cette petite machine.
Mais en parallèle va me falloir trouver un #rpi4 ou 5 pour aller au bout de ce projet de poste d'écoute #sdr.

My #RaspberryPi 4B is acting up and I think it's data corruption(?) from not powering off properly when it stopped responding. I really need to buy a switch to shutdown safely...

I formatted the SSD (SMART status seems ok), flashed the latest #DietPi and slowly setting back my services.

This is a great chance for me to actually sort out the messy initial setup of experimenting with #SelfHosting I'm in the process of setting up a #cron job with #rsync, #syncthing & dietpi-backup now. 🤞#Rpi4

I kid you not, just did a moto24 - sftp transfer via because could not connect.

Twa's literally faster to type in than wrestle demons of .

There was someone lately as had said that he doesn't like the and good riddance? My dude! Looks like you could never run your fingers over it proper.

Lazy day today. Did an exercise I was putting off. Turns out it was quite simple in the end.

In other exciting home sysadmin news, I have a problem in the #RPi4 box I use as the router for the local WiFi network: periodically, some clients disassociate, and then can't reconnect. (I don't really know why.) The general solution is to restart #hostapd. But I don't want to do that manually all the time.

I have now set up a service to restart hostapd automatically if it cannot successfully ping one of the other boxes. It runs with a systemd timer. Things seem better now.

Major upgrade today for #Jellyfin. They are changing how their database is used, so the upgrade may run for hours.

Note further that the upgrade requires the relevant partitions to have at least 2G free. On my #Debian #RPi4, I had to increase the size of /tmp in order for the upgrade to proceed.

**Update:** It took about two minutes on my box, after I increased /tmp.

@peach @elena own server with on

So, jetzt hat es großteils geklappt! 🙂

Unser #RPi4 ist stabil als Controller im Heimnetzwerk integriert:
▪️ DHCP bleibt beim Router
▪️ RPi OS Lite mit #Docker
▪️ Adblock & DNS per #Pihole
▫️ Nutzerverwaltung mit #OpenLDAP kommt noch

Leider konnte ich #StepCA vermutlich aufgrund der #arm64 Architektur nicht ans Laufen kriegen. Das landet nun auf unserem #Homeserver ...

Now that I've migrated everything from my #rpi4 to #rpi5, the Pi4 is free to watch the sunset...

And record a timelapse...

And even HW-accelerated encode it to a video! No longer do I need to save the images over SMB to another computer like I had to with the older #rpi3...

@q7mJI7tk1 I have #Pihole and #unbound both running on an #RPi4 for over a year. Solid as a rock although new domain lookups take much longer the first time. After that they’re cached. About 6.5 to 7.5% of the #DNS queries get blocked. I’m super happy with the setup.

Yall talk about , so here's a glimpse of my new LE setup to raid BBSes at night. And srsly, 15" is more than enough if you know what you are doing 😏

Shoutout to paulie at . I'll get ya that 20 mate, promise honest to godess 🤘

@Mr_Dr_Oink
The includes 2xUSB3.0 ports (color blue). Internally, the Pi 4’s USB 3.0 ports (and also the USB 2.0 ports and Ethernet) are attached via a USB controller which itself is connected over a single PCIe bus. All USB traffic must share that internal link. Throughput is limited in the range of 200-400 MB/s.
The has a single-lane PCIe 2.0 link exposed via a 16-pin FPC (flat flex cable) connector. Devices can be attached via HATs that adapt that PCIe lane into M.2 or PCIe slots.

Question for people with a #RaspberryPi #NAS. What enclosure(s) do you use (for the Pi and for the storage array)?

Migration from #homeassistantcore and #pihole on an #RPi4 to an #IntelNuc is done. Gone #containerised for the move. Main motivations were #performance and #homeassistant deprecating everything except the #haos and #containerised versions.
Fairly straightforward to be honest, but just need to think about the user/permissions assumptions around the containers

There are many ways to connect a #RPi4 to a WiFi network ( wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse ) and not one of them works for me on the network hosted by my other RPi4. "Secrets required, but not provided" — bah!

Projekt #Homeserver macht wieder einen kleinen Schritt voran!

In Kürze wird ein ungenutzter #RPi4 zum "LAN-Controller" für grundlegende Aufgaben werden:
- RPi OS (auf SSD) mit #Docker
- #PortainerCE für's Management
- #Pihole für DNS, DHCP & Adblock
- #stepca für internes SSL/TLS
- #openldap zur Nutzerverwaltung

Für unseren Use-case mit max. 100 Geräten und ohne komplexeren Aufbau sollte das absolut ausreichen.
Was meint ihr? 🤓

@kkremitzki keep meaning to give this a go to put stock #trixie on a #RPi4 instead of Raspian. Raspian isn't awful but it's not stock #Debian.
