Didn't you ever wish your<br>computer understood you?
Yesterday André Costa emailed me about his new website, rpilocator. It's a website to track Raspberry Pi 4 model B, Compute Module 4, Pi Zero 2 W, and Pico availability across multiple retailers in different countries. In his own words: This database was created out of frustration trying to locate a Raspberry Pi…
The RGB curtain predictably turns into a mess of wires when not used according to instructions. As should be obvious from this blog, I am somewhat drawn to clever and minimalistic implementations o…
Tape storage is surprisingly not dead! If you are here then you may be considering using LTO tape as part of your backup or your long term archiving strategy. I’m here to mostly talk you out of it, or at best make sure that you are aware of what you are walking into.
