The decision by #MegaCorps to follow the #enshittification path of things forces us to re-gain control over various parts of our life one by one.

Please, creative #hackers of this world, more of that! 🙇

The Open Printer Is a Raspberry Pi Zero W-Powered, Fully-Open, Highly-Flexible Inkjet Printer

Sick of printer manufacturers locking you out of third-party cartridges and refills? The Open Printer doesn't mess around like that.

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 😅

Great plan, @elena !

RPis are awesome, but if your plan is to run a little #YunoHost homelab long term, you could also consider repurposing an old small-factor desktop like those sold by #AteliersduBocage (👉 https://boutique.ateliers-du-bocage.fr/83-enfin-libre-).

In my experience, those might be a little more powerful and stable than a #rpi (granted, I stopped at RPi 4 with 2 Go of RAM, so maybe it is not the case anymore 😅).
