It's all a bit "almost, but not quite", isn't it?

#FreeBSD has trouble with more than 4GiB of RAM on the #RaspberyPi 4, and does not even acknowledge the 5 (from 2023) in its doco.

#NetBSD does not support the Raspberry Pi 5 yet, has a 3GiB limit on the 4, and in its doco encourages EFI bootstrap, using a TianoCore port, over a more direct method.

But the Pi bootstrap that loads the EFI firmware doesn't support the EFI partition table, so one has to go back to using the old "MBR" one.

And USB doesn't work because the stock NetBSD build doesn't include pci drivers for the Pi. So one has to re-cross-compile the operating system.

#OpenBSD encourages EFI firmware, too, and has a workaround for the 3GiB DMA problem, but likewise the Pi 5 is alien to its doco.

The hardware vendor points at its own operating system, of course, which hides the details behind opaque tooling and whose doco calls such details "legacy".

Frage ans #Fediverse. Kann man den Home Assistent als weiteren Server neben dem pi Hole auf einen Raspberry Pi installieren? Ich finde nur komplett images für den Rassberry. Oder Ich verstehe was nicht.🤔

Умный дом. Как соединить разные технологии? Реальный опыт

Умным домом в наше время уже никого не удивишь, а если говорить об элементах умного дома, то они распространены практически повсеместно, а новые экосистемы появляются с завидной регулярностью. И тут встает вопрос, а как быть обычному рядовому пользователю? Покупать оборудование и быть привязанным к конкретной экосистеме? А если случилось так, что используются элементы нескольких разных производителей/экосистем? Куча приложений в смартфоне для управления всем этим хозяйством выглядит удручающее. Перспектива, при отключении интернета, остаться без управления или вообще неожиданно получить в своем хозяйстве неработающее устройство, которое по каким-то причинам перестали поддерживать в новой версии экосистемы, удручает еще больше. А это я еще не касаюсь вопросов безопасности.

Домашний Кей-Трак-доставщик по мотивам робота-доставщика Яндекса. Часть 1

Как и многие, кто работает в ИТ, я обожаю "Технологические преколы" . Когда я впервые увидел робота-доставщика Яндекса, первая мысль была: "Мне срочно нужен этот прикол. Не знаю зачем, но надо". В статье я опишу, куда привела меня эта мысль и поделюсь своим опытом. Так и что было дальше...

@richpuchalsky @Em0nM4stodon I've used both Xowa and kiwix for offline browsing of #wikipedia . #Kiwix blows #Xowa out of the water for both browsing and searching speed. I have the 109GB 2024 Wikipedia on a #RaspberyPi 5, with an inexpensive, lacklustre-brand SSD as the boot drive/system drive (in a decent, inexpensive SATA-to-USB3 enclosure). The Raspberry Pi doesn't break any sweat with browsing and searching; rather it yawns in boredom. The disk IO is superb.

This text based music player is easy to use. I've used it by SSH'ing into a #RaspberyPi with a speaker plugged into the audio port. If you are running your laptop in console mode, this beauty will play your tunes nicely in another window in #tmux

On #Debian this is part of the "moc" package.

I think #ono could be a nice one. 😃

Unsure about which OS you should use with your Raspberry Pi 5? Here are ten operating systems worth running on the palm-sized system

Good news: I updated my inventory on the #tindie store. #HestiaPi thermostats in stock!

Bad news: #RaspberyPi Zero 2 W boards are not available in the US, and the international stores generally have higher prices, higher taxes (VAT), and more expensive shipping.

I'm going to wait and see if they become available before my current supply is completely sold out.

I thought these days were behind us when I saw stores inventories replenished and purchase limits lifted a while back.

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Launches with Arm + Risc V Cores: hands-on with the new, $5 microcontroller | Tom's Hardware https://www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-pico/raspberry-pi-pico-2-launches-with-arm-risc-v-cores-hands-on-with-the-new-dollar5-microcontroller

«According to Raspberry Pi, the RISC-V CPU is available via C, but not via MicroPython. We only had a limited amount of time to write this hands-on so we have yet to properly test the Pico SDK with C».

Anyone used the tiny Seeed Studio #Raspberypi 2040 boards? I'm assuming there are no surprises or special software versions?

I wonder if @Mozilla is trying to create some hype for their social media site, by making it invite only, just like #BlueSky
Less than 400 users can probably run on a #raspberypi :)
I don't believe it's probably something special, because It looks like just another Mastodon instance. And I already have an account for that from #Vivaldi :)

(and now I wonder on what kind of server they run their instance :)

Is it possible to fit 16x16 font glyphs into a TV head?

As soon as I saw that these existed I knew it was something I had to try with my extension of GNU Unifont (called UnifontEX), which even has emoji. Unifont and UnifontEX are both 8x16 for anything that can reasonably fit, and 16x16 for anything that can't. I know that people have gone to 15x18 or 15x20, but some glyphs do truly require the full 16x16 cell size, so 16x18 or 16x18 would have to be the case. I'm of course wanting Unicode support (including characters above Plane 0, of which there are many in the font), so that means I'd likely need a Raspberry Pi. I'm also curious which of the formats at http://stgiga.github.io/UnifontEX/ would be best. There are a lot to choose from, including ones that were never offered by upstream Unifont.

I for the past while and especially recently had wanted to wear UnifontEX glyph displays either on my shirt or then a hat, so I could speak my more passionate topics without having to worry about voice level causing me problems.

I also had for the past week felt like I wanted to, if I gave a tech talk or ever appeared in a video, to never show my face and instead hide in a fursuit head, but if I trick one of these out with cat ears, then that would do. The Raspberry Pi could theoretically let me use it as a MIDI player, obviously at safe volumes.

Like, this TV head is something I'd actually want to do, and I'd sorta been thinking about adjacent topics recently. As an Earthbound reference, I would name mine "Lumine", after Lumine Hall from Earthbound. I'd go for a green shell for them and I'd predominantly use green or RGB colors for the text.

Interesting idea: put fursuit fur (or scales if you are a scalie) onto a TV head.

Fursuit head or TV head?
"Why not both?"

Obviously this will all be several years in the future due to my current state of nonemployment. Nonetheless I'm still curious. Also, if any of these ideas are inspirational, I give full permission to use them. Same for the font. I really don't care too much about what people do with my content.

In other news: UnifontEX got used in the game Gem Frenzy (https://theyippies.itch.io/gem-frenzy), and I got credited in the Itch.io game description.
