I was trying to show off my darling little Raspi to my extended family but nobody was impressed. So my #GratefulForYou nod today goes out to all my Fedi friends who enjoy and delight in this kind of stuff. And thank you for always teaching me new things 🥹

it went through a few life cycles: Ubuntu, then the YunoHost image, then Debian and now back to Ubuntu 🥲

Have you heard of dietpiOS I use it its awesome makes self hosting really simple you just need to read their documentations witch really you IMO.
Als Antwort auf Joel

this is the first I hear of DietPi. Sounds amazing!!! I’ll look into it.

See, you people ALWAYS teach me cool new things. Thank you!!!! 🙏

Update: I see that DietPi could be installed on my old Raspberry Pi 3… it’s sitting at home doing nothing. I can’t wait to try it out! 🤩

freeBSD is on my to do list (for maybe late 2026... I've got so much to tackle before then) 😅​

Simply mount a real apple with duct tape right where the raspberry logo is and your peers will immediately be impressed. 😂

hahahaha.

To be fair my Mac Mini M4 isn’t much bigger and it has 48GB of RAM 🙊

But I can’t flash different OSs so easily, so the Raspi is a little marvel to me

wow! see, I wanted to ask if people swap microSD cards to try out different distros / things. I was too afraid to ask that, so it looks like I will try this. Thank you! 😅​

Warning: I'm completely green in the space.

What use cases those thingies are best at? I bet they excel at self-hosting, but if someone wanted to use them to run desktop on top of them, how viable would that be? Asking out of curiosity, hoping I didn't asked something dumb xD

Als Antwort auf Victoria 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 she/her

that’s precisely my current use case: I set up my Raspi as a Linux desktop computer running Ubuntu. I love how I can flash distros on a microSD and have them running in no time. Nobody was impressed by that though 🥲

And yes typical use cases are Pis used as inexpensive home servers. They’re just so wonderful!

Als Antwort auf Dusty

😂🤣 TBF I was trying to show off the Raspi as a Linux desktop… but nobody in this house has ever used a desktop computer. Or at least not in decades.

I couldn’t even find a spare keyboard when I had connection issues with my wireless one 🥲

This hurts... I hate that so many are phasing out desktops when laptops and tablets don't actually replace them (they each have different niches.) :bunhdsad:

Raspberry Pi powers my boat's @sunseeker27 system that helps me to steer it, my home Pis runs @homeassistant and my other Raspberry Pi is running @yunohost with few services that are reachable from the Internet. So I'm your guy on this kind of stuff. So let me welcome to this kind of club of RaspberryPi enthusiasts 😂
Als Antwort auf Jan Dytrych🇨🇿🇺🇦

wow that’s amazing Jan!

From now on I will see you as my Raspi expert 😄

May I ask you a question? I have an extra Raspberry Pi 3 at home but couldn’t do anything with it last year because I felt it was terribly slow. Do you have recommendations as to what projects I could run with it, given the limited RAM? (even LEGO projects would be wonderful) thanks! 🙏

Als Antwort auf Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂

LEGO projects are running with docker, right? I do remember mentioning it in one of your posts. But I don't remember details?
Als Antwort auf Jan Dytrych🇨🇿🇺🇦

I saw it mentioned in @shollyethan 's newsletter. Maybe a couple of months ago?

If it requires Docker I'm out of luck because I'm still so far behind in my Docker learning journey 😢​

Als Antwort auf Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂

It's really hard when people don't understand how cool this stuff is 😅

But on the other hand, the effect of this stuff is perhaps easier to appreciate? When Amazon's AWS went down recently, self-hosting people were able to carry on just as before, including any services they provided to their family and friends (e.g. home streaming etc).
