circfruit<p>My main <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> node is on my house chimney and I access it through a wifi. It’s quite flaky so my plan is to get a rs485 connection to it and dedicate a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> with meshtastic cli working with it. Can’t wait the usb-c to rs485 modules to arrive from Aliexpress and get this setup running.</p>

Jonathan<p>Ok so calling for the opinion of my fellow home server enthusiasts here, I want to:<br>At minimum host Miniflux, PiHole and Joplin Server with docker or similar system. That are the essentials.<br>If possible, I'm also interested in:<br>GitTea, Home Assistant and and a Media Server for my Audio books.<br>I did a lot of research today, and while a Raspberry Pi seems very suitable for most of that, especially when it comes to Home Assistant I feel like people tend to get a mini PC and co.<br>I've done further research and am going to try out Proxmox in order to see whether that's something I could imagine managing my stuff on a mini PC with, so I could have a VM running Home Assistant OS for example. A mini PC I would consider for example is the Beelink MINI-S12 Pro.<br>I'd greatly appreciate any opinions, about software to make managing easier, the hardware and so on.</p><p><a href="https://someplace.social/tags/HomeServer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeServer</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://someplace.social/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a><br>Boost appreciated</p>

En0t 🦝<p>Я вот не понимаю.... есть огромное количество гаджетов которые я бы уже давно приобрёл, НО останавливает то, что их актуальные версии на прилавках до сих пор имеют Mini USB! :sadness: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, TTGO T-Beam и многое другое, уверен, что не я один жду, пусть той же мощности и концепции устройств, но с спасительным USB type C. Концептуально это функциональные гаджеты, но mini USB делает их проблемными.<br>Остаётся только ждать или новой ревизии, или модели. :welp: </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raspberrypi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tbam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tbam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/usb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>usb</span></a></p>

Michael J Burgess<p>A few years ago, my dad and I bought a NAS from WD. It’s been nothing but headaches since. Most of the time, I couldn’t get it to connect to my PC. On the rare occasions it worked, a restart or shutdown would break it again, and none of the previous fixes would work twice.<br><br>Two years ago, I bought a Raspberry Pi 5. At first, I couldn’t get it working and gave up. But a couple of weeks ago, I got deeply into Linux and discovered Ubuntu.<br><br>Exploring Linux showed me how much I could do. I’ve long been frustrated by companies taking control and the “own nothing and be happy” mantra linked to the WEF. Now, with my Raspberry Pi, I saw a way to take back that control.<br><br>I found OpenMediaVault, Nextcloud, and GoToSocial — tools that turn the Pi into a NAS and a self-hosted cloud. This setup lets us access and download files from anywhere, entirely under our control. And since I love social networks but dislike centralised giants, GoToSocial lets me host my own.<br><br>My dad and I wanted to use our 8TB drives with OpenMediaVault. But we didn’t want the Pi exposed without protection. That’s when we discovered the Argon EON – Raspberry Pi 4 4-Bay NAS Enclosure from Pi-Hut:🔗 <a href="https://thepihut.com/products/argon-aeon-nas-enclosure-for-raspberry-pi-4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://thepihut.com/products/argon-aeon-nas-enclosure-for-raspberry-pi-4</a><br><br>It’s the perfect home for the Pi, letting us run Linux as the NAS OS — and so much more.<br><br>I’m blown away by how powerful a Raspberry Pi can be with the help of open-source software. The Linux community makes it possible to create incredible things with affordable hardware.<br><br>Most of all, I’m proud. I thought this would be far too complicated. But with patience and persistence, I got it working. Now my dad and I have a powerful, private, and flexible system that’s truly ours.<br><br><a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NAS</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/openmediavault" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenMediaVault</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nextcloud</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/digitalsovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/homeserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeServer</span></a> <a href="https://social.beitmenotyou.online/tags/techjourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechJourney</span></a></p>
