Briefly back onto the Farnsworths. Finished both cases, but one of the displays died, and the replacement sent was wrong. So waiting (again) to get the second one running.
Moved the Strowger script and the test card script onto an Internet facing server. Currently, I can only try the test card and remote loop back.
I am still trying to set up a Pi-hole for me. One option is obviously a RPI, but for a simple DNS resolve the 4B is way too overpowered and therefore overpriced imo.
I already found the NanoPi NEO3-LTS and NanoPi R2C Plus very fitting, although I don't like the limited or just nonexistent software support.
Any recommendations for a small, cheap, power efficient SBC with at least Gigabit Ethernet, a SD-Card slot and USB-C for power?
Today, my Pi Pico based adapter to connect IBM 3270 coax terminals to modern computers sent its first screen to my 3278. #retrocomputing#IBM#rp2040#rpi#pico
Hmm, after having #nextcloud run on my #rpi for a bit I noticed I really don't need it. (Because the video chat just doesnt work as it should).
Maybe I'll just reset the rpi again and focus on some leaner system.
Maybe I'll try with #xmpp this time. Have to check if that has good voice and screenshare options right now. And maybe a web interface.
I haven't really done anything with that for a decade.
But what about those #MS_Windows users out there? How about a gzipped tarball, all nicely packaged up so you can distribute around, of a custom built #PuTTY client that will securely connect people to your #Synchronet_BBS over telnet?
I was going to get an #RPi#raspberrypi 5 but then I heard about the Sony deal and the #IPO and I think of all the people who've put hours and hours of their free time into a product which was (?is) #OpenHardware and how the directions of that product will now be subject to shareholder rather than user desires.
Sure, we need to think about sustainability in all things #OpenSource but what's the bet ARM or NVIDIA will buy it out to shutter it?
managed to get The Lounge running on my #RPi, connected to the Synchronet #IRC server also running on there, now I just need to find a way to connect the machine to the outside world.
together with a video conference system (Galène) and a #usenet web interface (rslight) I slowly start to make this usable for hosting my #ttrpg games without discord
Perhaps I should move on from #motioneye as my video surveillance software for my #RPi system. I finally get it set up to detect motion and send stills/movies to a central ftp server, but one wonky camera crashes the whole system. I've had to uninstall/reinstall the central system 6 times!
I discovered, that one VPS can host different websites for different domains and therefore multiple reverse proxys today!
So my Raspberry Pi now runs not only Nextcloud, but a Gitea server too! :blobcathappy:
They have their own subdomain with their own default http(s) ports.
running a #SearXNG docker takes so much ram!
like around 600MB! and out of my 2gb ram #RaspberryPi that's a ton.
I also run a Nextcloud docker and that's around 260MB.
(both when idle).
might have to find an alternative.
Tho at this point, coming from my home WiFi, it doesn't give all that much more privacy since I keep the same IP address.
Ok, let's see if I can make this screen work. Bought it from AliExpress and there seems to be many versions with slightly different protocols.
The first thing I found out was that it won't probably work with the SmartLED shield I bought and the Teensy 4
Maybe a RPi or an FPGA will be better to start #electronics#fpga#teensy#rpi
Been playing #MineClone2 on #MineTest as I'm on a #RPi. So far I suck, I think the beginning game is harder on MineTest then #Minecraft. But It's sill fun.
Is there a Minetest package similar to Minecraft but doesn't try to clone it?
ah, IT issues... yesterday I tripped a fuse when making dinner (the electric kettle somehow creates a power surge just before boiling, and when the oven runs at the same time it gets tripped).
When I put it back my small rpi server in the living room all of a sudden makes issues. It runs, and I can connect to it from the outside, but somehow not from inside my home network.
But I ping it and it seems to be on... but I just can't seem to ssh onto it anymore.
