There are ways to set the Pi up "headless" and then use VNC to export a graphical desktop over a network, but I think most are pretty fiddly and prone to network DHCP changes that require unwanted effort to make it work again. Even so, if you wish to try this with your nephew, see https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/headless-raspberry-pi-setup
@simsa04 Let me start by asking what your nephew likes and what accessories they got besides the !RasPi. Do you know whether it is a #Raspberry_Pi 0, or 3, or 4?
Speaking of #Raspberry_Pi, the supply situation looks to be improving and should be normal by the second half of 2023.
> For a variety of reasons, we leave 2022 with much better visibility of our future silicon supply chain than we entered with. As a result, we can say with confidence that, after a lean first quarter, we expect supply to recover to pre-pandemic levels in the second quarter of 2023, and to be unlimited in the second half of the year.
The official !RasPi account on the official #Raspberry_Pi #Mastodon instance got crossways with a lot of people today. I don't know if it will be enough to make a noticeable dent in the demand for their products, but they have definitely made some former customers consider other #SBCs instead.
You'd think that taking 2 smartphones, 2 tablets, 3 laptops, 2 portable gaming consoles, 1 media player, one digital camera, and 1 #Raspberry_Pi Zero W is excessive the way the #TSA reacts, but if you're an IT person who is likely to be gone for 6 months or more, that's travelling light.
I just looked at Pi 0 prices. #Raspberry_Pi 0 W is $78-$99 if you can find it. Raspberry Pi 0 2 W was even more, again if you can find it. The original 0 listed at $5.
I'm glad there's a 0W and a 0 2W waiting for me at home.
Hopefully, I still remember what I wanted them for when I get there.
I asked #sonTwo to call him and find out what we can do to help, but apparently, he recovered without intervention. (I also mentioned that #sonOne is 2-3 hours away, which is about 3 hours closer than #sonTwo.)
Anyway, he's better now and is repurposing a #Raspberry_Pi 3 that I sent for #A1 into a project combined with an #Arduino UNO R3.
This is interesting. I'd like to see a comparison between the 8GiB RAM versions of the #Odroid M1 and the !RasPi 4. I don't know what the #raspberry_pi 4 lists at, but when I bought a couple, they were around the same price.
After both Iceloops and myself found our Odroid XU4 #SBCs overheating, despite coming with a fan already, I've started to wonder whether Hardkernel designs its boards too close to the limitations of the chips.
I did recently look at #RISC-V SBCs, but they were all fairly expensive crowdsource projects and none of them seemed even comparable to a #Raspberry_Pi.
I saw one board that is supposed to be on a similar level to an #Arduino Duo ... but they didn't say whether it could be programmed with the same Arduino software.
If I can get compute board and not just a microcontroller, I'd like to try to learn some more about programming in a RISC-V environment.
This looks like a nice little project for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. It is a two-drive #NAS that runs on standard !RasPi operating systems instead of some storage vendor's proprietary OS.
It is still in development, not a finished product, and is targeted at tinkerers.
Iceloops made his pi stack work after all. (With the fans and #Raspberry_Pi 4 devices with PoE hats, it wouldn't quite fit, so he removed two layers.) I didn't ask, but I assume these are the devices he named the twins.
I think that is a good idea, and I'm planning to spin up a #BOINC node with my own XU-4 soon. Or maybe an older #Raspberry_Pi (the !RasPi 4 seems a little expensive right now, and I already have a Raspberry Pi model 2B and a model 3B that I can repurpose).
Consider this: you post a link to one of your photos, hosted on your #Raspberry_Pi. All of your 100 contacts' servers try to simultaneously download your picture, bringing your network connection to a halt.
We're going to need to redesign a lot of these sites, so they don't move so much data, and the data they do move isn't all moved at the same time.
Hey @joaomoreno@twitter.com 👋 Any chance we can get Code for arm64 published in the Snap Store? Perhaps just code-insiders for now? Ubuntu Desktop 20.10, due October 22nd, will support #raspberrypi 4 as an official release architecture 😃
A collection of Groovy 🕶️ Gorilla 🦍 wallpapers are available for download via the #Ubuntu Discourse. From 1080p to 8K. Colourful & greyscale. Just the mascot in SVG. There's also a version featuring the #raspberrypi logo 😏
