This DIY "overkill" Raspberry Pi 5 cooler is completely unnecessary, and maybe even counterproductive (it increases the power consumption significantly without affecting performance that much). But... just look at it! https://the-diy-life.com/this-is-the-most-overkill-raspberry-pi-5-cooler-ive-ever-built/ #RaspberryPi5 #RaspberryPi #PeltierCooler

Raspberry Pi is raising the price of most Raspberry Pi 5 models due to increased LPDDR4 RAM costs, but also introducing a new entry-level $45 model with 1GB of RAM. Raspberry Pi 4 models with 4GB or more are also seeing price increases. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/1gb-raspberry-pi-5-now-available-at-45-and-memory-driven-price-rises/ #RaspberryPi #RAM #RaspberryPi4 #RaspberryPi5

My plans for the week:

▪️​ install #DietPi on my old #RaspberryPi3 (https://dietpi.com)
▪️​ flash the #YunoHost pre-installed disk image to a new MicroSD card and attempt to set it up on on my #RaspberryPi5
▪️​ if I'm successful, I'll set up #Jellyfin on it
▪️​ create a little storage system for my microSD cards so I can swap them in and out (I won't wipe the one that has #Ubuntu on it, but set it aside so I can use it in the future)

I have a hunch I will ask 🎅​ for a new Raspi this coming Christmas... maybe the #RaspberryPi500 😅​

Good morning Fedi friends!

I just arrived at my in-laws’ where I only have my #RaspberryPi5 with #Ubuntu as my main computer for the rest of the week. This is my #Linux week*, yay 🐧

Wishing you all a great day! 🌞

*technically 5 full days, but it’s the longest I will have a Linux system as my main computer. I’m excited!

How I setup #FreeBSD on a #raspberrypi5 16GB is now on the wiki:

Good morning Fedi friends!

Earlier today I installed #DeltaChat to give it a try... and I'm currently flashing the #YunoHost disk image on a card for my #RaspberryPi5 - so I can write about the process.

Super grateful for the world of #FOSS ❤️​

Have a great day everyone!

The Raspberry Pi 5 supports PCIe 2.0 or PCIe 3.0 SSDs (although you need to hook an adapter board up to an FPC connector). Now Raspberry Pi offers its own branded SSDs (256GB for $37, 512GB for $55, 1TB for $70). https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/1tb-raspberry-pi-ssd-on-sale-now-for-70/#RaspberryPiSSD#RaspberryPi#SSD#RaspberryPi5

Hello Fedi friends,

Please stage an intervention. This is a special “my adventures in self-hosting - 🤡 edition” toot.

So I need to learn #Docker in order to move my #Ghost blog there - possibly - as it’s the only way to let it federate (per the official Ghost.org documentation).

If you’ve followed me here for a while, you might have caught a running joke “please don’t tempt me to get a THIRD #VPS”.

This is my mayday, begging you: “please talk me out of getting a third VPS.”

I was happily doing online research wondering if I could install Docker on my #RaspberryPi5. Sure, it’s possible. Good to know.

Then things escalated when I started wondering: “hmmm how much would it cost to get a new VPS for Docker testing purposes?”

I checked out the website of my current VPS provider and noticed that you could get a basic VPS and pick an application that would come pre-installed. Docker is in the list of applications with a thumbs up next to it. Oh and I have a $20 credit after a commission. Awww the temptation!

I’m currently with my extended family in the middle of nowhere, with no WiFi in the house, one bar of 5G in most places (at best) and a laptop that refuses to connect to my phone’s hotspot. I’m typing this on my iPad (which is cooperating, vis-à-vis tethering). It’s my 12th day in this location, with 4 days to go before I return to civilization. I’m easily tempted because I’m going a little batty.

Please please please tell me that it’s better to learn Docker on my Pi 5. It’ll be waiting for me at home in a few days 😅
