Does a typical laptop #client on #Ubuntu #linux allow both wired #LAN connection to one #router / #network & #wifi to another different network #ssid / network? Use case:
1) wifi to receive only a web #gui , of a program running on a #Raspberrypi, served by the #RaspberryPi running a wifi #hotspot , over http://IP:8000 (IP stands for its #ip address and where Pi has no #WAN access at all and wants none nor needs any)
2) the wired LAN connection would be for normal internet traffic via #WAN

I’ve had this problem. Although I haven’t implemented this yet, but I might deploy a #RaspberryPi to ping and monitor any nodes affected by this scenario. Then send WOL packets. For this to work the affected nodes will need the relevant BIOS/UEFI support appropriately configured.

Okay, but we can also #federate this now with the #fediverse. Like, #ActivityPub can handle search queries just fine.

So, just running on microcomputers, everyone can put on their own index whatever they want.

A person can _easily_ index 50,000 pages on a rapsberry pi.

A #FediSearch can broadcast any query to known peers. Each peer returns top-k results. The originating node can then aggregate and rank.

So @alice queries her FediSearch, it searches its own index and queries subscribed peers, those peers do the same thing. Nodes can choose who they trust, cache, etc.

The number of indexes pages will be something along the lines of `pages_per_nod * log(number_nodes)`. So a thousand nodes may only cover a million pages, but if the trust network is good, those are probably the most important million pages.

Also, I would venture that you'd have some nodes specializing in having a lot of pages: tens of millions, others just for stuff they like, others specifically for non-commercial interests. Selecting who you federate your search with really affects the ranking.

How the hell do you disable wifi on #RaspberryPi? Nothing I've tried fucking works. rfkill only kills it in the current session, rebooting brings it back. dtoverlay option disable-wifi does fucking nothing even after reboot. How?

Oh well, today I bought a dead Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB for repair.

I checked 3V3 at the post office and found low resistance - surely a dead PMIC I thought and was too lazy to check the coils around it. Turned out to be a dead CPU.

At first I got a bit upset, but then I remembered that I wanted to try replacing a CPU on a Pi for a while.

So I did. Turns out it's not that big of a deal. Though I did it twice - here's why... —>

Okay, so some good news for once. I got the #stormux Raspberry Pi distribution running on a Pi 400. Makes me want to buy a Pi500 later on, but I think once my BTSpeak gets here I'll be all enamored with it. Anyway, it works. The Fenrir key being the Super key takes a second to get used to, but I'll deal with it. I'd so much rather it be the capslock key.

So, my "Linux in bed" dream is a reality. Of course, with the BTSpeak it'll be even better. But Stormux isn't bad, and even comes with a getting started utility for connecting to Wi-fi, setting location, filling out the SD card space, all that.

I've been seeing a lot of people saying they would love proxmox on raspberry pi obviously unaware that that's a reality for years by now.

If you are one of 'em have a look at
github.com/jiangcuo/pxvirt/wiki

pxvirt is the new name of the pimox project
It supports running proxmox on ARM64, RISC-V & LoongArch.

I personally only tested it on Raspbery Pi 4 & 5 as I still need a performant RISC-V system and a LoongArch machine.

Very pleased with The Pi Hut - bought something from them and it dispatched same day (actually dispatched, not 'marked as to be sent at some point in the next week' like eBay sellers) and arrived next day. Highly recommended.

Now waiting for RISC OS Open to ship my SD card so I can give it a whirl (yes I could make my own card but I'm lazy and it means the project gets some money, although 2GB card feels like skimping).

Anyone really good at diagnosing weird #RasPi4 issues?

I've got a 4B/8G that refuses to boot, always goes to rainbow screen. Red LED solid, so not PSU (and multiple tried). Multiple cards tried burned multiple ways/multiple images.

EEPROM Update card just shows this (and apparently doesn't update?)

Hat von euch zufällig jemand einen #RaspberryPi 5 und könnte kurz testen, wie sehr die Webseite windy.com die CPU belastet? Danke schon mal!

Auf halbwegs moderner Hardware merkt man davon nichts, aber in einer Test-VM war ich dann doch von der extrem hohen Auslastung überrascht. War allerdings auch einfach nur frisch installiert und auf alter Hardware, der eventuell die Hardwarebeschleunigung für die Animationen fehlt 🤔

Müsste das genauer prüfen, aber wenn jemand das angepeilte Gerät gerade rum stehen hat...

Hackaday: An LLM For The Raspberry Pi. “Microsoft’s latest Phi4 LLM has 14 billion parameters that require about 11 GB of storage. Can you run it on a Raspberry Pi? Get serious. However, the Phi4-mini-reasoning model is a cut-down version with “only” 3.8 billion parameters that requires 3.2 GB. That’s more realistic and, in a recent video, [Gary Explains] tells you how to add this LLM […]
