Hi everyone! Just a quick reminder that due to the current DRAM/eMMC shortage, there isn't any plans to continue producing more Linux devices in the near future. Whether production continues or not depends on the pricing situation for those components after mid 2027. Devices like the PineNote […]

Years later and the Raspberry Pi Pico-SDK documentation website is still as unusable as ever 🤯 . Searching for things like "adc_read" I get results in areas other than "Pico C SDK" and none of the so call results even contain "adc_read"! The best I've come up with is to search in the PDF or am […]

There I was worrying about making a couple of buffers 1KB. It turns out I really didn't need to worry 😆 . #RaspberrypiPico #RaspberryPi #Pico

I've just been awarded a grant from @nlnet's NGI0 Commons Fund for one of my open source projects 😃 https://nlnet.nl/project/ActivityBot/

The Dabao Evaluation Boards have arrived. At some point I'll need to figure out how to use them 😆 . #dabao #baochip #baochip1x #devBoard #xous

I see #HacksterIO is a slop site now 🫤. https://www.hackster.io/chip-pk/raspberry-pi-pico-2-rp2350-bootrom-security-research-e60c3c

I don't think I've seen cookie options like this in a long time. They want me to allow all the cookies (inc. Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter and Pinterest) or disable cookies at the browser level which comes with the note "If you choose to disable access to cookies […] [Original post on widget.uk]

I guess that could be why this Mastodon tab seems a bit sluggish today...

Hedgehog piggyback racing tonight. #hedgehog

RIP modmypi PSU, I guess this heat was just too much 😭 . Over the past 9 years you'd been dong a great job of keeping my battery monitor Pi running and the little spiders building webs on top of the CPU warm.

Hedgehog Cam 3—9 July 2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm8YHtGrACE We've moved the feeding station to a slightly more secluded area so they hang about more and we're already seeing some fascinating behaviour. Look for timestamp links to a couple of face-to-face clashes over the water bowl […]

A couple of nights ago we had this pair happily eating next to each other until a third turned up and received a headbutting 😬 . #Hedgehog

Only 22 more @sales products to setup on @lectronz - I'm getting there 😵. Whilst the Tindie import tool has been a big help I'm trying to check weights, GTIN-13, counts, etc. so it's taking a bit longer.

RE: https://mastodon.8086.net/@DNSHistory/116856088799440847 My side project is still growing 😀 .

Did anyone else get a Cytron "Special Value" 1.25Ghz max clock Raspberry Pi 4? If so, is yours actually limited? Mine seem to run at 1.8Ghz (for now anyway 🤣). #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi4 #Cytron #CytronTech

I might have been in the bar a while but I can't be the only one to see it?

A different kind of early morning (4:35) visitor today. Late to the party as the hedgehog had cleaned up a few hours earlier 😁 . It's also a reminder I need to sort out something better for the hedgehogs. #RedFox #Hedgehog

I'd only put a small amount of food out and what was left by the time the our 2am visitor 🦔 arrived didn't last long 😄 . #Hedgehog

Well, I think I've upgraded my Mastodons on Debian Trixie to v4.6.0 😰 🤞 . Deps said it needed a newer node than the distros v20 so I removed that and added if from the nodesource repo, manually deleted the dangling yarn symlinks and ran "corepack enable" in the hope yarn would return (it did) […]

Mastodon looks to newsletters to help revive the open social web https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/17/mastodon-looks-to-newsletters-to-help-revive-the-open-social-web/

Looking at #Cloudflare stats they've blocked around 2.4 million requests in the past 24hrs on my #DNSHistory site. Not sure I'll be turning under attack mode off any time soon 🙄.

I enabled CAA record support on @DNSHistory last night. I thought it would be interesting to see how usage changes over time but they seem a little misunderstood 😬 . You've got those with sequential flags. https://dnshistory.org/dns-records/e-tailize.eu. Then there are the "0" tags […]

As part of 'Making Tax Digital' the UK will soon force people to use proprietary software to file certain types of tax return. If you disagree, think people should have control over their data, that HMRC alone should be in charge of HMRC's job, that you shouldn't have to pay random companies […]

Anyone got tips for getting a 6 year old up and running with a #RaspberryPi, maybe a good book? When I was his age I was just reading the Amiga manual and fiddling about with it, learning that way. That doesn’t seem to be a thing so much?

Looks like FedEx dobbed me into JLCPCB for not paying 11p of duty (or the disproportionate £10.50 disbursement fee) 🤣 . #JLCPCB #FedEx

Took the day off work to attend Lincoln Mayor Making today. The lucky people of Lincoln (UK) now have my sister and nephew as their Mayor and sheriff 😆. #Lincoln #Mayor

After talking to #virginmedia chat for 2 hours it seems the reason my #netflix went from standard to standard with adverts is because they bill 2 months in advance and my contract ends in 2 months - wtf?

I escaped to Love the 90s Festival last Saturday, much fun was had (other than the random hair stroking 🙄 ). But I was more than a little disappointed with soft drinks at the bars (water and non-existent Pepsi Max) but I guess that was by design as none of the […] [Original post on widget.uk]
