"Raspberry Pi Ltd, a leader in low-cost, high-performance computing, announces that it is considering an initial public offering (the "IPO" or the "Offer") and that it intends to publish today a registration document (the "Registration Document"). The Company is considering applying for admission of its ordinary shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission")."

> I have a Keybow MINI hooked up to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and I'm using Python to respond to events. I have one button that kicks off playing a song on a passive buzzer, and I'm wondering if there's a way to have a button press stop the song before it completes.

Hi, question for the group.

I have a pi zero 2 running the lite OS suggested by the imager. I’ve been able to create a RAID with 2 240gb SSD on the usb port. Even during a peak read/write stress test, the power draw for the whole system doesn’t exceed 800ma.

Anyhow, ideally I would like to boot from this volume and elimante the SD card completely, but have been stopped by not even being able to boot with the root set to the RAID and the boot dir still on an SD. I can get it to boot when /usr and / var are on the raid

Has anyone any insights on different things to try? Perhaps even a good reason this can’t work would free me from this fools quest so my project can advance?

> I've been looking into putting together a home office setup for remote development and stumbled upon this nice home automation project by David Zhang, where they use a Raspberry Pi with a customized num pad to control almost every day-to-day arrangement of their office, from desk hight, KVM input/output switching, lighting, all the way to tiling window management. Looks like they've also published the combination of Auto Hotkey, Home Assistant and ESPHome scripts in order to work, including links to dependencies: > > - https://github.com/davidz-yt/desk-controller > - https://github.com/jfedor2/hid-remapper > - https://github.com/phord/Jarvis > > Anyway, I'm looking forward to scripting a similar setup once I've gathered the general equipment, and figured other programmers might similarly appreciate the ergonomics in such an automated workflow. > > P.S. Any suggestions for a developer picking items for a new remote office from scratch would also be appreciated. E.g. office equipment recommendations like desk, chair, screen mounts, AV accessories.

tl;dr: It has been two weeks using the Pi 400 as my personal computer. It's good enough for what I do, but when I need performance y connect it to my old laptop.

---

So, last year I bought a Raspberry Pi 400 and I did what I always do: absolutely nothing. It was kept inside its box getting covered by dust.

About two weeks ago I decided to clean the mess out of my desk. This desk is very small and I've got my work laptop, my personal laptop, a monitor and a lot of cables and stuff. So I put my personal laptop below the router connected by ethernet and put the Pi 400 on the desk.

It is way slower than my laptop, obviously. So when I need performance I make an ssh tunnel for vnc and pipewire, and got my laptop DE back.

I used fscrypt for the /home partition, because I'm too paranoid to go unencrypted and it doesn't support full disk encryption. Also added a USB stick for more local storage, ciphered with the same tool.

I don't play video games any more :sad-pepe: so I don't miss a graphics card in the Pi.

I bought it with the official Raspberry mouse included. But I have no idea where it ended lost.

So now this is my "setup" lol.

It looks like a big improvement over the 4 but sadly needs active cooling or it throttles under load quickly. It has a new form factor which requires a new case too. Still there are a lot of great additions that make it a good upgrade.

Raspberry Pi has an official presence over on raspberrypi.social!

Their single-user instance is hosted on a Raspberry Pi. It appears they host their instance using Mythic Beasts, or at least that's what this article states.

Both Lemmy and Mastodon use ActivityPub so are able to federate with one another.
