Yesterday was the third anniversary of Raspberry Pi announcing that they'd hired an ex-cop (specifically a Technical Surveillance Officer) as their "Maker-in-residence", and then pissing off a huge segment of their target market by acting completely oblivious as to why that might be a problem.

I missed my calendar reminder about it, so instead you can celebrate the third anniversary of Buzzfeed writing an article about it:

Why The Computer Company Raspberry Pi’s New Hire Caused A Social Media Firestorm

“I think what we’re looking at is a dogpile that’s being organized somewhere,” a Raspberry Pi cofounder told BuzzFeed News.

When the Compute Module 5 came out, you couldn't use the IO Case's bundled fan and heatsink at the same time - which was spun as letting people try out passive and active cooling separately.

Well, that definitely-not-a-design-flaw-honest has been fixed: the latest IO Case shifts the fan to allow clearance underneath for the heatsink.

Raspberry Pi Revises the Compute Module 5 IO Board, IO Case Designs for Better Cooling

Fresh new Rev. 2 models address a flaw in the original designs, and finally let you mount both the heatsink and fan at the same time.

Let me show off my last project: ediaf an extensible digital frame.

It started, some months ago, as a simple replacement for my alarm clock but it became soon a serious, pathological, over-engineering case that features: moon phase calculator, English dictionary, weather forecast and music player. And all of these are extensions installed from its package manager (also an extension! 😅).

And yes an alarm clock is available too! 😉

I did it, guys, I revisited installing and setting up Homeassistant again because I just cannot let it go.

First off, I used a Raspberry Pi instead of trying to do something fringe like running HAOS in a docker container or a Proxmox VM. I did, however, image it onto an SSD so I am not relying on an SD Card.

After letting the system do it's standard setup for about 20 minutes, I could login to the web interface without any issues.

Jeff (@geerlingguyJeff Geerling) has a great post about setting up a Zigbee dongle in HA and the setup for the dongle and the power monitoring plugs he mentions is a breeze. The responsiveness is nearly instantaneous.

Power monitoring devices around the house is a very useful concept which was the crux of my decision to revisit HA.

Incoming dashboard shots this evening after work.

Thanks, Jeff!

Introduction

Redoing my as it was a bit of a sparse one when I joined.

I am a lifelong enthusiast, having worked in Financial Services IT for more than 25 years, across multiple disciplines including:
* -based platforms (A17/A19/HMP NX 6800/Libra 180/Libra 6xx/Libra 890)
* storage arrays (DMX 3/4 and most recently VMAX) including experience of (S), SRDF(A), BCV
* (2000 through 2019) including
* Various / OSes (/ / / / ) including experience of /#GFS2 SAN storage clustering
* Virtual Tape Server technology (B&L/Crossroads/ETI Net SPHiNX, )
* Automation/Scripting (, , , , )
* (, , , , )
* /#DisasterRecovery (Design/Implementation/Operations)

I’m focused on learning and getting hands-on with at home and computing solutions both at work and at home.

I moved into a role in 2020, so a lot of my focus is now more security focussed across all tech stacks.

My main focus at present when it comes to cloud is predominately , with Google and AWS of interest also, as well as other cloud infrastructure services such as those provided by CloudFlare, though I’m planning a move away from them due to their moral/ethical choices.

Away from work and tech, I love to the world with my wife and enjoy very amateur to record our adventures.

I also love most genres of , live in concert when I can, with a particular love of / and also (coincidentally, given the profession of a somewhat more well known namesake of mine!).

Raspberry Pi just announced the Pi 500+

It has a quad-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD (built-in NVMe), and an RGB backlit mechanical keyboard (Gateron KS-33 blue switches).

Cost: $200.

First thing I did was yank the SSD out and replace it with an M.2 to OCuLink adapter, so I could game and local-LLM on the thing, using an AMD RX 7900 XT with 20 GB of GDDR6 VRAM.
