Hackberry

While going through my notes I realized I hadn’t linked to the project “Hackberry-Pi_Zero” by ZitaoTech here yet. As the name suggests, it’s a project that integrates a Raspberry Pi Zero with a 720×720-pixel display into a case reminiscent of a BlackBerry and includes a keyboard. The device is an extremely portable, full-fledged Linux system that can be taken anywhere like a smartphone. The text was automatically translated from German into English. The German quotations were also translated in sense. ...

Raspberry Pi AI Kit

Raspberry Pi Ltd. recently announced the launch of its “Raspberry Pi AI Kit”. It includes an M.2 HAT+ with a Hailo-8L AI accelerator module.

I’m confident the Raspberry Pi’s creatively progressive community will identify use cases where such a chip is significantly more efficient than a dedicated graphics card. ...

Auto Updates Homebridge & Pi-Hole

After doing some research, I couldn’t find any reason not to automatically update your Raspberry Pi and the services Pi-Hole and Homebridge. That increases security, and you also don’t have to log into the system repeatedly and can effectively disable SSH. I wrote the following script and have it run once a day via Cron. Maybe someone else can use this. echo "####### UPDATE DES SYSTEMS #######" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade -y sudo apt-get autoremove -y sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y sudo apt-get autoclean echo "####### UPDATE VON PI-HOLE #######" pihole -up pihole updateGravity You’ll need to adapt the Homebridge part to your plugins. ...
