So far, my netbsd research goes well on my RPI4.

  • I can run firefox (with a small fix to avoid tab crash)
  • I can view/edit documents with Libreoffice
  • I can listen music with mplayer/VLC
  • I can play videos with mplayer/VLC
  • mdns works fine (i use a lot in my home network)
  • i can use ZFS (with the ARC memory patch i dont have any issues with 4GB)

i tried to put all of this on this busy screenshot, with a freshly compiled nscde environment.

Unless you #selfhost your own #mastodon instance, or you're a #mastoAdmin, you have likely taken #fullTextSearch for granted.

Behind search for masto is a resource-hungry #java application called #elasticSearch. Sure you might be able to get Masto to run on a #raspberrypi4, but you won't be running elastic search with it.

Having recently moved my instance to a much more powerful system, I now run ES, and WOW what a difference being able to search post makes! Soooo many times I wanted to reference a toot that had scrolled by but had no way of finding it. Now I do!

Even though I've put some serious resource limits on ES, it's bar none the most resource intensive service running (out of around 25).

Please consider sending a few bucks to the #MastodonAdmin of your instance. Better yet, if you can afford it, sign up for a monthly donation. They need it.

J'adore quand un plan se déroule sans accroc. Ou presque. Puis j'ai migré ma liste de disques de mon NAS à mon #RaspberryPi4, je ne pouvais plus scanner ma librairie iTunes sur mon NAS. Et puis, l'éclair de génie : suffit d'accéder à la BDD sur le Pi4 depuis le NAS ! Assez simple en fin de compte, juste les règles du firewall à modifier et hop, fait.

For those of you interested in our recent video offloading / zero-copy playback work: I quickly put together some #livi #flatpak s to make it easy to test stuff already. Compositor offloading should work on all semi-recent Intel/AMD and a variety of ARM64 devices.

If you trust the sandbox you can get them here:
https://cloud.silentundo.org/s/r8733siTjP4yRJp

I expect quite a few people hitting driver bugs, so please help tracking those down :)

For those using HW that still uses the stateful V4L2 API for decoding - such as the - I uploaded another build to the link in the first post that includes a patch that is not close to landing, but works well enough to make playback work.

With that I can play 1080p30fps videos (the decoder limit) on my big screen smoothly, which otherwise not possible (apart from reducing the resolution).

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/6114

The video shows a Gnome desktop running on a Raspberry Pi 4, using a screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. A 1080p@30fps video is played with the mentioned livi player build. While the video is choppy when the video overlay is visible, it becomes fully smooth once the overlay is hidden and zero-copy playback using the display controller hardware plane is used and the 3D engine can be skipped.

After some more debugging, here are two videos proving that #gtk4 / #GStreamer video playback with fullscreen GL/VK overlay works on a #RaspberryPi4 and #PinebookPro / #rk3399 on #weston / #Wayland, each maxing out their video decoders with 1080p@60 and 4k@60 respectively.

The message here is: no matter what hardware - if you want to make a video/camera app that needs to be highly efficient, you can do it with a proper, yet still lightweight toolkit now. No need for a custom kms/drm backend.

The steps to get wifi on a #RaspberryPi4 working with #NetBSD10 are not as easy as I hoped.

What's the "easiest" way to a small (, max 10 users) instance?
I have an unused and a unloaded 8gb at home.
I once read that was lighter that . Is there any one small server to consider?

my laptop (x86_64) and my 4 (arm64) are racing to build an arm64 image for the pi. we'll see if the better specs of the laptop outweighs the performance hit from cross-compilation or not

Had to fix some errors and start it again, but the pi ended up about 2x faster than the laptop

Petit point sur le #RaspberryPi5 après 2 soirées passées à jouer avec sous @ManjaroLinuxARM : Tout marche remarquablement bien, ce qui est vraiment étonnant sur une machine à peine sortie dont tous les pilotes ne sont pas forcément "matures"et avec une distro #Linux tierce.

À noter que pour Netflix il y a pour #RaspberryPi4 une version chromium-docker armhf 32 bits avec Widevine qui fonctionne très bien, mais qui malheureusement ne fonctionne pas (encore) sur le #RaspberryPi5, mais j'imagine que ça viendra vite.

Oh boy! It's been a weird battle, but I've finally got my #raspberrypi4 running #jellyfin smoothly. I had some trouble with permissions, mounting drives on startup and more. Then when I solved that (thank you various resources online) I had power draw issues from dual external drives connected to the pi. Eventually got it to a point where it got all ironed out and I swapped the dual (2TB) drives for a single 4TB self powered drive and all is well.

Hâte de recevoir mon #RaspberryPi5. Sachant que mon #RaspberryPi4 sous @ManjaroLinuxARM fait un ordinateur bureautique généraliste très utilisable (mais lent), je me dis que le 5 - CPU 2 à 3 fois plus rapide, double de RAM, accès carte SD beaucoup plus rapide - va être PARFAIT !

I've been thinking about getting a #RaspberryPi4 for ages but decided to hold out for a #RaspberryPi5 instead. I had a whole plan for what case and SSD to buy etc. but now that the #Pi5 is around the corner, it looks like most of the stuff I would've gotten isn't compatible with the new board.

Can anyone more experienced in the #Pi world give me a general idea of how long I'll be waiting before things like the #ArgonOne case get a Pi5 variant?

Looking out for when start selling off any spare stock of Raspberry Pi 4s at discount

carryonrtw, to librewolf in High cpu usage

HW accel should be automatic on targets that support it (x86, AMD, Apple). I run on a #RaspberryPi4 target which is #Arm64 and doesn't support it "yet". The fix has been checked into git so next release will fix it on Firefox and LibreWolf. In your case though, if Firefox is working then LibreWolf also should.

I'd ask @librewolf if they have any ideas why it wouldn't work. The Google turned up this: https://www.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/comments/11isnra/how_to_enable_hardware_acceleration/

I've just found out we make a micro-HDMI to VGA cable. Apparently, we did a run for a customer and we've still got some. We should sell this? Would folks want this for their @Raspberry_Pi? #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi4 #HDMI #VGA
