YouTube's been great... but it also scares me.
As a kind of 'RAID 1' for my video content, I'm also on Floatplane now (http://floatplane.com/channel/JeffGeerling).
Here's more on why—and a sort-of celebration of 500 videos over 18 years on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0jw_Q23NIU

"I was told Rockchip no longer considers RK3588 to be an “open source” chip. In practice, that means Rockchip no longer contributes RK3588 code to open-source projects and they also decided not to sell RK3588 directly to SBC vendors." https://www.cnx-software.com/2024/12/21/rockchip-rk3588-mainline-linux-support-current-status-and-future-work-for-2025/
This, paired with Joshua Riek stepping away from ubuntu-rockchip, doesn't bode well for RK3588's SBC futures.
Maybe why Radxa is going with a different vendor for their next flagship board, the Orion 6?

Not upset about drag in the ceremony, offended by the desecration of a setting (the Last Supper) that's central to the Catholic faith, and the gaslighting of folks saying it wasn't representative of the Last Supper but of a painting of the Greek Gods (what does that have to do with French culture / history anyways?).
Then the whataboutism rampant in comparing the situation to Charlie Hebdo / Islam and other pop culture references to the same imagery.

@npub1gzw…t758 that's the point though, it doesn't. Water cooling is absolute overkill for 99.999% of all use cases where a Pi 5 would be used.

Water cooling the #RaspberryPi 5 is... definitely a thing.
Very expensive ($200 for the whole kit), very overkill (42°C at 2.8 GHz overclock after 10 min), but I do like that it exists, even if *very* few people would ever need it. A short review: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zJF7pNnyGPc

Apparently this thing only goes up to the year-that-shall-not-be-named, then resets to 1999

Crazy to think a Raspberry Pi 4 demolishes this dual-G4 1.0 GHz system... and using less than 1/10th the power.
A Pi 5 goes even further, and a modern M-series chip is like 100x the G4's performance!
Still a fun system to play with. #mac #g4 #mdd

It's not for everyone, but if you're interested in the parts list or initial thoughts on the HL15/Ampere Altra/ASRock Rack/Noctua Arm NAS build, here's a post with the details: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/building-efficient-server-grade-arm-nas

Finally! Got the new Arm NAS server build running (Ampere Altra 32-core CPU, ASRock Rack's new 'deep micro ATX' motherboard, Noctua's new 4U cooler, and 45Drives' new HL15 chassis). Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz5k5WgTkcc

Raspberry Pi's IPO—are they selling out? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrhE6MnGi1A

Lots of family stuff this morning, just saw the news @npub15nn…sdr0 is planning on an IPO.
Disappointed, but not unexpected.

@npub12x7…s35y Loooove them. Wish I would've known a new version with 32-bit float recording was coming (just announced a week ago), but they solved like 99% of the problems I had with Rode Wireless Go II.

Okay, seriously, Pi 5 is made for Frigate. And Frigate rocks. Wish I would've spent the day or two plowing through it last year instead of setting up Shinobi!

2023-12-22 03:01:43

So excited for 2024. I should be fully moved in by the end of this year, and next goal is to add electronics workbench and a couple other task-specific areas to make it easier to work on long-term projects!
Another moving vlog coming soon!

What do you want to know about the @npub1xzp…x4fk Reform laptop? Besides the fact its trackball (yes, track*ball*) runs on a Raspberry Pi RP2040?

I wouldn't go that far... maybe "a guy who can hack together a pre-made kit and only end up with a few small cuts..."

An update on the SimpliSafe doorbell burning itself up: they reached out today (after shipping a replacement yesterday), and said one theory is the transformer could've been a slight bit too much for their doorbell (mine is outputting 26V, the doorbell is rated 'up to' 24V).
More here: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/my-simplisafe-doorbell-lit-its-own-fire-winter
I do think the doorbell should handle a bit more—but their explanation (in tandem with me not having a separate chime installed) could make sense.
